What is GTZAN Genre Dataset?

In 2002, G. Tzanetakis and P. Cook presented their well-known article on genre classification, “Musical genre classification of audio signals”, published in IEEE Transactions on Audio and Speech Processing.

GTZAN Genre Dataset represents a total of 1000 audio tracks with a 30-second duration contained in the dataset. The dataset is divided into a total of 10 genres, each with 100 tracks. All the tracks are 22050Hz Mono 16-bit audio files in .wav format.

How to use GTZAN genre Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on GTZAN genre dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Deep Lake built-in PyTorch one-line data loader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)
Train a model on the GTZAN genre dataset with TensorFlow in Python
				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
