A Music Recommendation Method with Emotion Recognition Using Ranked Attributes

Abstract

Emotion recognition field can be useful for music discovery and recommendation, because emotions can precisely describe the actual habits of a listener. In this paper, we propose a new concept called Ranked Attributes that are useful to make reasonable music recommendations. More precisely, we propose to consider additional attributes to emotion, such as weather and time, and build a Ranked Attributes Tree (RAT) that enables to recommend a music piece based on a combination of all ranked attributes. In this paper, we describe the following parts of the proposed method: database design, voice and emotion recognition, and music recommendation.
