Scoring Models for Tamil Lyrics
نویسنده
چکیده
Lyrics are rich in features such as rhyme, pleasantness, similes, metaphors and more. Many of these features are exclusive to lyrics. We have estimated that more than two thousand Tamil lyrics are being created every year in various forms. Modeling the lyric-specific features becomes an essential task in organizing the lyrics for retrieval and analysis. In this paper, we propose three scoring models for analyzing the rhyme, pleasantness and freshness of a lyric. The paper also explains in detail on how the weights were selected for individual models. Scores were computed for 1200 Tamil lyrics based on these models. Discussing the score distribution in detail, the paper concludes with open questions for further research.

Which comes first—the lyrics or the music?
