Welcome to the fascinating world of music mood classification! Are you ready to uplift your playlist with a sprinkle of machine learning magic? This guide will walk you through the project known as MusicMood, where we dive deep into the realm of song lyrics to classify music based on the moods they convey, specifically focusing on happy tunes!
What is MusicMood?
MusicMood is an innovative machine learning project designed to classify music according to its mood using song lyrics as our primary data. Imagine an automated DJ that knows exactly what songs can bring a smile to your face or lift your spirits during gloomy days! An ideal application for hospitals, restaurants, and public spaces, it ensures that happiness resonates through the air.
Getting Started
Ready to jump into the code? Here’s a brief overview of the tools and resources involved in building your very own music recommendation system!
- Web Application: Check out the live demonstration at The web application.
- Data Collection IPython Notebook: You can view the process of gathering data in the data collection notebook.
- Initial Model Training: Start with the initial model training notebook.
- Updated Model Training: Use the updated model training notebook to refine your approach.
- Random Forest Experiments: Experiment with different models in the Random Forests notebook.

- Technical Report: For deeper insights, read the technical report on arXiv.
Dataset Summary
Imagine sifting through a massive library of 10,000 songs from the Million Song Dataset! Here’s how we shaped our dataset:
- Lyrics sourced from LyricWikia, with songs missing lyrics removed from consideration.
- Only English songs were kept, to make our classification meaningful and effective.
- A final selection of 1,000 songs was set aside for training and 200 songs for validation.
Exploratory Data Analysis
Next, we carry out exploratory data analysis. Picture it as digging through treasure in buried chests, discovering patterns in how different words often reflect specific moods. Let your creativity run wild as you visualize sentiments!
Results
After all the analysis and training, it’s time to evaluate our model’s performance! Here’s a simple analogy: think of your model as a student preparing for an exam. The more it practices with the correct answers, the better it performs. We’ve charted the results to showcase how well our classification system does its job of identifying happy songs.
Troubleshooting Ideas
If you encounter any bumps along the journey, here are some troubleshooting ideas:
- Issues with Data Download: Double-check your internet connection and make sure documents are accessible.
- Model Not Performing Well: Review your data preprocessing steps; are your lyrics being appropriately filtered and cleaned?
- Errors in Code Execution: Make sure you have all libraries installed and compatible with your Python version.
