| dc.description.abstract | Static music emotion recognition systems typically focus on audio for classification, although some research has explored the potential of analyzing lyrics as well. Both approaches face challenges when it comes to accurately discerning emotions that have similar energy but differing valence, and vice versa, depending on the modality used. Previous studies have introduced bimodal audio-lyrics systems that outperform single-modality solutions by combining information from standalone systems and conducting joint classification. In this study, we propose and compare two bimodal approaches: one strictly based on embedding models (audio and word embeddings) and another one following a standard spectrogram-based deep learning method for the audio part. Additionally, we explore various information fusion strategies to leverage both modalities effectively. The main conclusions of this work are the following: i) the two approaches show comparable overall classification performance; ii) the embedding-only approach leads to a higher confusion between quadrants 3 and 4 of Russell’s circumplex model; iii) and this approach requires significantly less computational cost for training. We discuss the insights gained from the approaches we experimented with and highlight promising avenues for future research. | eng |
