In this paper, a machine-learning approach called Sparse Representation-based Classification (SRC) is used for automatic chord recognition in music signals. We extracted different Pitch Class Profile (PCP) features from raw audio and achieved sparse representation of classes via 1 -norm minimization on feature space to recognize 24 major and minor triads. This recognition model is evaluated on MIREX’09 dataset including the Beatles corpus. Our method is compared with various methods that entered the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) in 2014 towards the audio chord estimation of MIREX’09 dataset in Audio Chord Estimation task of MIREX. Experimental results demonstrate that our method has good accuracy rate in recognizing maj-min chords.

In this paper, we have proposed an optimized sparse representation algorithm based on Log-Gabor (Sparse Representation-based Classification Based on Log-Gabor, Log-GSRC), which applies local features information of samples to the sparse representation method. Actually, SRC (Sparse Representation-based Classification) is using a linear correlation between the samples of one class which can be assumed that these samples exist in a subspace, and also can be linear represented with each other. It is a global representation and it ignores the local features information of the samples, while in the case of there are a smaller number of training samples per class, SRC will obtain an inaccurate classification result which may correspond to one and more classes in the process of sparse decomposition. However, the Log-GSRC combines global and local features information of the samples and also improves the robustness of SRC. The experimental results clearly showed that Log-GSRC has much better performance than SRC and also has much higher recognition rates than SRC in face recognition.

In this paper, a machine-learning approach called Sparse Representation Classification(SRC) Viterbi Algorithm is proposed for automatic chord recognition in music. We extracted Pitch Class Profile(PCP) features or Log PCP from raw audio and achieved sparse representation of classes via -norm minimization on feature space to recognize 24 major and minor triads. This recognition model is evaluated MIREX'09 dataset including the Beatles corpus. Our method is also compared with various methods that entered the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation exchange (MIREX) in 2013 and 2014. Experimental results demonstrate that our method has good accuracy rate in recognizing signal chord and has fewer train data.
