Implementation and Evaluation of a Collaborative Lyric-Writing Support System Using a Lyric Association Map

Discourse Analysis of Lyric and Lyric-Based Classification of Music

Lyrics play an important role in the semantics and the structure of many pieces of music. However, while many existing lyric analysis systems consider each sentence of a given set of lyrics separately, lyrics are more naturally understood as multi-sentence units, where the relations between sentences is a key factor. Here we describe a series of experiments using discourse-based features, which...

Writing Techniques in the English Love and Lyric Poems

In the poetry creation, poets use many different writing techniques. This paper expounds the image expressions in British love poems and lyrics from four aspects: description, symbolism, figure of speech and personification. Man has been singing for love since written language was invented. Love has been the eternal subject theme of poems and become perpetual singing. Many poets also worship na...

Lyric-Based Rhythm Suggestion

Which comes first—the lyrics or the music? Here we consider the lyrics-first approach to songwriting and seek to augment the process by developing a creativity-support tool which uses lyrics as a creative constraint for rhythm generation. We describe a novel algorithm for suggesting possible melodic rhythms to complement the accent structure of a given set of lyrics. The algorithm is composed o...

Lyric-Based Music Recommendation

Traditional music recommendation systems rely on collaborative filtering to recommend songs or artists. This is computationally efficient and performs well method but is not effective when there is limited or no user input. For these cases, it may be useful to consider content-based recommendation. This paper considers a content-based recommendation system based on lyrical data. We compare a co...
