Abstract

With the advent of the ubiquitous era, context-based music recommendation has become one of rapidly emerging applications. Context-based music recommendation requires multidisciplinary efforts including low level feature extraction, music mood classification and human emotion prediction. Especially, in this paper, we focus on the implementation issues of context-based mood classification and music recommendation. For mood classification, we reformulate it into a regression problem based on support vector regression (SVR). Through the use of the SVR-based mood classifier, we achieved 87.8% accuracy. For music recommendation, we reason about the user's mood and situation using both collaborative filtering and ontology technology. We implement a prototype music recommendation system based on this scheme and report some of the results that we obtained.
