Song lyrics genre detection using RNN.

Digitalization of music is the new trend, and preferences of individuals are highly rated. Millions of songs are being streamed in the music applications. The companies providing these services need to sort and arrange a wide range of music tastes for all of its users. On top of that, fresh music from various artists in a wide spectrum of genres are popping up every day. To keep track of all this, a classification system can be handy. So, we propose an RNN based model based on Natural Language processing to classify the songs based on their lyrics into different genres [1]. Additionally, this tool can be handy to the music lovers for quickly identifying which genre a particular song belongs to. In this paper, we apply Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) model with both Universal Serial Embedder (USE) and Bert embedders. A comparative study is performed to understand which combination of models works based to classify the genres based on lyrics. From our results, on the basis of accuracy of the model, we found that USE embedder with LSTM [2] gives a slightly better performance than Bert embedder. The LSTM model with USE embedding gave the highest accuracy of 83.42% when trained over a range of five folds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
