Abstract:
This paper surveys 560 publications about music genre recognition (MGR) published between 2013–2022, com- plementing the comprehensive survey of [474], which cov- ered the time frame 1995–2012 (467 publications). For each publication we determine its main functions: a review of research, a contribution to evaluation methodology, or an experimental work. For each experimental work we note the data, experimental approach, and figure of merit it ap- plies. We also note the extents to which any publication engages with work critical of MGR as a research problem, as well as genre theory. Our bibliographic analysis shows for MGR research: 1) it typically does not meaningfully engage with any critique of itself; and 2) it typically does not meaningfully engage with work in genre theory.
