“…The results obtained with hierarchical classification that improves the score almost to 2% compared to the direct classification.RWC Music Database for musical instrument sound is chosen with isolated notes of instruments. Alicja A. Wieczorkowska, Zbigniew W. Ra´s, Xin Zhang, Rory Lewis [10] done hierarchical classification using Hornbostel-sachs classification and by fifteen different articulation method (blown, bowed, bowed vibrato, concussive, hammered, lip vibrated, muted, muted vibrato, percussive, picked, pizzicato, rubbed, scraped and shaken).Hornbostel-Sachs method gives better result than articulation method. Slim Essid, Ga¨El Richard & Bertrand David [12] selected the feature which has the first rank is selected by Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA).Analysis and comparison of two hierarchical taxonomies natural instrument families and automatically hierarchical clustering using SVM classifiers are done.…”
