Associating Emoticons with Musical Genres
نویسندگان
چکیده
Music recommendation systems can observe user’s personal preferences and suggest new tracks from a large online catalog. In the case of context-aware recommenders, user’s current emotional state plays an important role. One simple way to visualize emotions and moods is graphical emoticons. In this study, we researched a high-level mapping between genres, as descriptions of music, and emoticons, as descriptions of emotions and moods. An online questionnaire with 87 participants was arranged. Based on the results, we present a list of genres that could be used as a starting point for making recommendations fitting the current mood of the user.

متن کاملFirst-order Logic Classification Models of Musical Genres Based on Harmony
We present an approach for the automatic extraction of transparent classification models of musical genres based on harmony. To allow for human-readable classification models we adopt a first-order logic representation of harmony and musical genres: pieces of music are represented as lists of chords and musical genres are seen as context-free definite clause grammars using subsequences of these...
