For the evaluation of music classification tasks we use a database of 120 commercial music albums purchased for our research group. The CDs are distributed among 6 AllMusicGuide genres:

• Album list
• Test set OS120 (optimization set for experiments, with focus on evolutionary multi-objective feature selection)
• Test set TS120 (song-independent test set from the same albums as OS120 for the evaluation of optimized models)
• Test set TAS120 (artist-independent test set with the same genre distribution)

The following audio features are used for classification (for definitions and the difference between low-level and high-level features see https://eldorado.tu-dortmund.de/handle/2003/30402)

• 636 low-level audio descriptors
• 566 high-level audio descriptors

Currently, the following instrument samples are used for the experiments on instrument recognition:

• Instruments and styles

• Mobile music worlds – explorative games for navigation through digital music collections. Summer term 2011 - winter term 2011/2012.
