  • The Role of Emotion and Context in Musical Preference
    The Role of Emotion and Context in Musical Preference Yading Song PhD thesis Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science Queen Mary, University of London United Kingdom January 2016 Abstract The powerful emotional effects of music increasingly attract the attention of music informa- tion retrieval researchers and music psychologists. In the past decades, a gap exists between these two disciplines, and researchers have focused on different aspects of emotion in music. Music information retrieval researchers are concerned with computational tasks such as the classifica- tion of music by its emotional content, whereas music psychologists are more interested in the understanding of emotion in music. Many of the existing studies have investigated the above issues in the context of classical music, but the results may not be applicable to other genres. This thesis focusses on musical emotion in Western popular music combining knowledge from both disciplines. I compile a Western popular music emotion dataset based on online social tags, and present a music emotion classification system using audio features corresponding to four different musical dimensions. Listeners' perceived and induced emotional responses to the emotion dataset are compared, and I evaluate the reliability of emotion tags with listeners' ratings of emotion using two dominant models of emotion, namely the categorical and the dimensional emotion models. In the next experiment, I build a dataset of musical excerpts identified in a questionnaire, and I train my music emotion classification system with these audio recordings.
