New framework unifies music emotion recognition across label types

Researchers have developed a novel multitask learning framework to unify music emotion recognition (MER) across different types of emotion labels, including categorical (e.g., happy, sad) and dimensional (e.g., valence-arousal). The framework integrates musical features like key and chords with MERT embeddings and employs knowledge distillation to transfer learning from individual datasets to a generalized student model. Experiments on datasets such as MTG-Jamendo, DEAM, PMEmo, and EmoMusic demonstrated that this approach significantly improves performance, outperforming state-of-the-art models on the MTG-Jamendo dataset.

    Towards Unified Music Emotion Recognition across Dimensional and Categorical Models

    arXiv:2502.03979v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: One of the most significant challenges in Music Emotion Recognition (MER) comes from the fact that emotion labels can be heterogeneous across datasets with regard to the emotion representation, including categorical (e.g.,…
