Abstract

In recent years, there has been a tremendous need for the ability to query and process vast quantities of musical data. Automatic content extraction is clearly needed here, relating to various aspects of music. One of desirable options is the ability of identifying musical pieces representing different types of emotions, which music clearly evokes. This paper focuses on scrupulous planning of experiments on automatic recognition of emotions in music. Collecting and labelling of data, extraction of objective features, as well as classification and cross-validation methods are proposed and discussed.
