    Abstract

    We predict drops in electronic dance music (EDM), employing
    different multimodal approaches. We combine three
    sources of data: noisy labels collected through crowdsourcing,
    timed comments from SoundCloud and audio content
    analysis. We predict the correct labels from the noisy labels
    using the majority vote and Dawid-Skene methods. We also
    employ timed comments from SoundCloud users to count
    the occurrence of specific terms near the potential drop
    event, and, finally, we conduct an acoustic analysis of the
    audio excerpts. The best results are obtained, when both
    annotations, metadata and audio, are combined, though the
    differences between them are not significant.
