A Novel Music Emotion Recognition Model Using Neural Network Technology

Music plays an extremely important role in people’s production and life. The amount of music is growing rapidly. At the same time, the demand for music organization, classification, and retrieval is also increasing. Paying more attention to the emotional expression of creators and the psychological characteristics of music are also indispensable personalized needs of users. The existing music emotion recognition (MER) methods have the following two challenges. First, the emotional color conveyed by the first music is constantly changing with the playback of the music, and it is difficult to accurately express the ups and downs of music emotion based on the analysis of the entire music. Second, it is difficult to analyze music emotions based on the pitch, length, and intensity of the notes, which can hardly reflect the soul and connotation of music. In this paper, an improved back propagation (BP) algorithm neural network is used to analyze music data. Because the traditional BP network tends to fall into local solutions, the selection of initial weights and thresholds directly affects the training effect. This paper introduces artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to improve the structure of BP neural network. The output value of the ABC algorithm is used as the weight and threshold of the BP neural network. The ABC algorithm is responsible for adjusting the weights and thresholds, and feeds back the optimal weights and thresholds to the BP neural network system. BP neural network with ABC algorithm can improve the global search ability of the BP network, while reducing the probability of the BP network falling into the local optimal solution, and the convergence speed is faster. Through experiments on public music data sets, the experimental results show that compared with other comparative models, the MER method used in this paper has better recognition effect and faster recognition speed.
