1.5 SUMMARY<br />
This chapter introduced three important issues in <strong>music</strong> <strong>mood</strong> <strong>classification</strong> that motivated<br />
this dissertation research: the lack of a set of <strong>mood</strong> categories suitable for today's <strong>music</strong> listening<br />
environment, the prohibitively expensive cost involved in building ground truth datasets, <strong>and</strong> the<br />
premise of combining multiple resources in order to improve <strong>classification</strong> performances.<br />
Five research questions were proposed in this chapter. These questions are closely related<br />
<strong>and</strong> each is built upon the previous one. The answers to these questions will collectively shed<br />
light on the fundamental question of how <strong>lyrics</strong>, <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>audio</strong> interact with one another<br />
with regard to <strong>music</strong> <strong>mood</strong>.<br />
Expected contributions of this research were summarized into three levels: methodology,<br />
evaluation <strong>and</strong> application. This research will contribute to the literature of <strong>music</strong> information<br />
retrieval, text affect analysis as well as <strong>music</strong> psychology. These related fields will be reviewed<br />
in the next chapter.<br />
