Artist Attribution via Song Lyrics
Song lyrics, separated from the audio signal of their song, still contain a significant amount of information. Mood and meaning can still be conveyed effectively by a pure textual representation.

This task is...
متن کاملText Visualization of Song Lyrics
We investigate techniques for visualizing song lyrics. Specifically, we present a design to tightly align musical and linguistic features of a song in a way that preserves the readability of lyrics, while conveying how the melodic, harmonic, and metric lines of the music fit with the text. We demonstrate and evaluate our technique on two examples that have been implemented using Protovis, and p...

We present an approach to automatically retrieve and extract lyrics of arbitrary songs from the Internet. It is intended to provide easy and convenient access to lyrics for users, as well as a basis for further research based on lyrics, e.g. semantic analysis. Due to the fact that many lyrics found on the web suffer from individual errors like typos, we make use of multiple versions from differ...
متن کاملUsing Computational Text Analysis Tools to Compare the Lyrics of Suicidal and Non-Suicidal Songwriters
Recent research in cognitive science and psycholinguistics has provided evidence that extreme behaviors such as suicide may be predicted by analyzing an individual’s writing style. This study seeks to extend research of this kind to a new and less traditional written genre: song lyrics. We applied the computational tools Coh-Metrix and Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count to a corpus of 35 songs e...

A lyric-level LNS was derived as a function of the inverse document frequencies of its unique words. An artist-level LNS w...
