近年來的研究已經指出使用卷積神經網路(CNN)來進行圖片分類極為有效，這是因為卷積神經網路是依照資訊的結構性來進行訓練。也有一些研究[1]試著將卷積神經網路應用在非圖片資訊的使用上，想要知道在非圖片領域卷積神經網路能做到什麼地步。本研究會使用卷積神經網路來進行音樂類型的分類，擷取音樂取樣的樣本輸入卷積神經網路進行訓練，觀察卷積神經網路可以從這些較原始、純粹、人眼看似雜亂無章的資訊中學到什麼。最後的實驗結果顯示卷積神經網路確實能從這些人眼看似雜亂無章的圖片中區分音樂類型。

The ability of using convolutional neural network (CNN) for classified image have been proved efficiently in studies recent years. Because CNN is relevant to structural information. But there are few studies [1] using convolutional neural network for non-image classification, trying to explore its limit. This study will use the CNNs for music genre classification. We employ music samples as input to see how the CNNs can learn from these pure and simple features. The experiment results suggest that the CNNs can work on images which seem non-structured to human eyes.
