An Audio-Based Deep Learning Framework ForBBC Television Programme Classification
share
This paper proposes a deep learning framework for classification of BBC television programmes using audio. The audio is firstly transformed into spectrograms, which are fed into a pre-trained convolutional Neural Network (CNN), obtaining predicted probabilities of sound events occurring in the audio recording. Statistics for the predicted probabilities and detected sound events are then calculated to extract discriminative features representing the television programmes. Finally, the embedded features extracted are fed into a classifier for classifying the programmes into different genres. Our experiments are conducted over a dataset of 6,160 programmes belonging to nine genres labelled by the BBC. We achieve an average classification accuracy of 93.7 proposed framework for the task of audio-based classification of television programmes.
