Predominant musical instrument detection using ensemble learning

Music is the amalgamation of various instruments. It depends on the musical arrangement and composition of each music which determines the quality of the resultant music. However, there is one main instrument which is the dominant music instrument and is the backbone of the entire musical composition. In this work we combined several features of the musical sounds generated from the instrument and fed to different traditional classifiers for performance evaluation. Moreover the simulation results were also obtained by ensemble model through hard voting, soft voting and stacking model. The performance evaluation shows that Hard voting out performed all other models.
