Evaluate Music Genre Using AHP Model

Abstract

Music genres are labels created and used by humans for categorizing and describing the vast universe of music. In this paper, firstly, after doing the data collecting and preprocessing, we find out the parameters to describe music genres and conduct correlation analysis to eliminate the redundant factors with high correlation. Secondly, a three-step method is used to construct Analytic Hierarchy Process model. The first step constructs the comparative judgment matrix, the second step calculates the weight of each index in the judgment matrix, and the third step checks the consistency. This paper describes the music from the three dimensions of characteristics of the music, type of vocals and music genre description, which is more accurate and comprehensive to evaluate.
