Week 1 — Predicting Origin of Music
Music is a worldwide communication tool that is accepted as a common language of people all around the world. In the world, there are a huge variety of types of music. The reasons for this variety are historical, cultural, and geographical diversity. Almost every geographic region has its own characteristics and melodies. In this project, we will try to accurately predict the origins of the songs by looking at sound wave characteristics retrieved from the audio files of songs.
Dataset
In this project, we will use the Geographical Original of the Music Data Set from UCI. This dataset contains 1059 rows, each of which represents a song, and 70 columns which 68 of which are features extracted by using MARSYAS. The last 2 columns contain latitude and longitude information’s for geographical regions. You can find the dataset from this link:
