Lyric text mining in music mood classification

TLDR
Findings show patterns at odds with findings in previous studies: audio features do not always outperform lyrics features, and combining lyrics and audio features can improve performance in many mood categories, but not all of them.
Abstract
This research examines the role lyric text can play in improving audio music mood classification. A new method is proposed to build a large ground truth set of 5,585 songs and 18 mood categories based on social tags so as to reflect a realistic, user-centered perspective. A relatively complete set of lyric features and representation models were investigated. The best performing lyric feature set was also compared to a leading audio-based system. In combining lyric and audio sources, hybrid feature sets built with three different feature selection methods were also examined. The results show patterns at odds with findings in previous studies: audio features do not always outperform lyrics features, and combining lyrics and audio features can improve performance in many mood categories, but not all of them.

Music emotion recognition: A state of the art review

TL;DR: A survey of the state of the art in automatic emotion recognition in music can be found in this article, where the authors explore a wide range of research in music emotion recognition, particularly focusing on methods that use contextual text information (e.g., websites, tags, and lyrics) and content-based approaches, as well as systems combining multiple feature domains.

A Unified Framework for Providing Recommendations in Social Tagging Systems Based on Ternary Semantic Analysis

TL;DR: The approach develops a unified framework to model the three types of entities that exist in a social tagging system: users, items, and tags using a 3-order tensor, on which multiway latent semantic analysis and dimensionality reduction is performed.

Combining SVMs with Various Feature Selection Strategies

TL;DR: This article investigates the performance of combining support vector machines (SVM) and various feature selection strategies, some are filter-type approaches: general feature selection methods independent of SVM, and some are wrapper-type methods: modifications of S VM which can be used to select features.
