Abstract

This thesis presents a comprehensive study on the analysis of musical emotions using machine learning techniques. Music has the unique ability to evoke emotions and affect human psychology. Understanding the emotional content of music is crucial for various applications in music recommendation systems, music therapy, and entertainment industries. Machine learning techniques offer a powerful tool to analyze and classify musical emotions based on audio features and data patterns. The study begins with an introduction to the research topic, highlighting the significance of understanding musical emotions and the role of machine learning in this context. The background of the study provides an overview of previous research in music emotion analysis and machine learning applications in music processing. The problem statement identifies the gap in existing literature and motivates the need for this study. The objectives of the study are outlined to investigate the effectiveness of machine learning algorithms in classifying musical emotions and to explore the relationship between audio features and emotional content in music. The limitations and scope of the study are discussed to set boundaries and expectations for the research outcomes. The significance of the study is emphasized in terms of its potential impact on music analysis, recommendation systems, and emotional understanding in music therapy. The structure of the thesis is outlined, detailing the chapters and their respective contents. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the research topic, background information, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the definition of key terms. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive literature review on music emotion analysis, machine learning techniques, and related studies in the field. Chapter 3 describes the research methodology, including data collection, feature extraction, model development, and evaluation metrics. Chapter 4 discusses the findings of the study, including the performance of machine learning models in classifying musical emotions and the analysis of key audio features influencing emotional content in music. The results are presented and analyzed to draw meaningful conclusions and insights. Finally, Chapter 5 presents the conclusion and summary of the thesis, highlighting the key findings, implications, and future directions for research in the field of musical emotion analysis using machine learning techniques. Overall, this thesis contributes to the growing body of knowledge in music emotion analysis and machine learning applications by providing valuable insights into the analysis of musical emotions and the potential applications of machine learning techniques in this domain. - This abstract provides a concise overview of the research topic, objectives, methodology, findings, and implications of the study on the analysis of musical emotions using machine learning techniques.
