Using machine learning analysis to interpret the relationship between music emotion and lyric features

Abstract: Melody and lyrics, reflecting two unique human cognitive abilities, are usually combined in music to convey emotions. Although psychologists and computer scientists have made considerable progress in revealing the association between musical structure and the perceived emotions of music, the features of lyrics are relatively less discussed. Using linguistic inquiry and word count (LIWC) technology to extract lyric features in 2,372 Chinese songs, this study investigated the effects of LIWC-based lyric features… Show more

“…For the machine learning algorithm, this work applied the random forest classification (RFC) algorithm. As RFC has shown good performance in classification tasks [ 48 , 49 ], we can easily interpret the constructed RFC models by calculating the feature importance [ 50 , 51 , 52 , 53 , 54 ]. The predictive effect of each model was evaluated by the tenfold cross-validation technique.…”

“…Melody and lyrics, two distinct human cognitive abilities, are typically combined in music to convey emotions. L Xu et al [ 20 ] investigated the effects of LIWC-based lyrical features on emotions conveyed by music using Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) technology to extract lyric features from 2372 Chinese songs. The proportion of words conveying negative emotions was inversely related to the perceived valence of music.…”
