During first lesson of Practical Deep Learning for Coders course, Jeremy had mentioned how using simple computer vision model by being a bit creative we can build a state of the art model to classify audio with same image classification model. I was curious on how I can train an music classifier, as I have never worked on audio data problems before.
You can find how I trained this music genre classification using fast.ai in this blogpost..
Dataset
Training
Fast.ai was used to train this classifier with a ResNet50 vision learner for 10 epochs.

Examples
The example images provided in the demo are from the validation data from Kaggle competition data, which was not used during training.
