The transformation of data into other forms of representation has played a major role in building the core programmatic systems of the Top-n Music Genre Classification Neural Network as well as the content recommendation system that utilizes the trained neural network for data preprocessing and recommendation generation. The way my team’s neural network operates is…

Working on the Top-n Music Genre Classification project has exposed my team and me to various technologies that aid in music representation, efficient mathematical operations, and the creation of deep learning models. Of these technologies, Librosa, the Python package for music and audio analysis, has been my favorite so far. In particular, we have been…
