value to find out whether combining complete lyrics with short audio excerpts can help compensate the (possibly significant) information loss due to the approximation of complete tracks with short clips. Research Question 5: Can combining lyrics and audio help reduce the amount of training data needed for effective classification, in terms of the number of training examples and audio length? To answer this question, performances of the hybrid and single-source-based systems are compared given incrementing numbers of training examples as well as audio clips with incrementing lengths extracted from the original tracks. 1.3.6 Research Question Summary The five research questions are closely related and each is built upon the previous one. Together they answer the overarching question of how lyrics and social tags can help in music mood classification. Figure 1.1 illustrates the connections among the research questions. 1.4 CONTRIBUTIONS This dissertation is one of the first efforts in exploiting music associated text in classifying music in the mood dimension, and also is one of the first systematic evaluations of lyric features in music mood classification. Contributions can be classified into three levels: methodology, evaluation and application. 11
1.4.1 Contributions to Methodology Figure 1.1 Research questions and experiment flow This research is one of the first in the MIR community to review and summarize important studies on music mood in music psychology literature, giving MIR researchers and information scientists theoretical ground and insights on music mood. Mood categories have been a much debated topic in MIR. This dissertation research identifies mood categories that have been used by real users in a real-life music listening environment. The categories derived from empirical social tag data serve as a concrete case of aggregated real-life music listening behaviors, which can then be used as a reference for studies 12
