Abstract: In this paper, the automated detection of emotion in music is modeled as a multilabel classification task, where a piece of music may belong to more than one class. Four algorithms are evaluated and compared in this task. Furthermore, the predictive power of several audio features is evaluated using a new multilabel feature selection method. Experiments are conducted on a set of 593 songs with 6 clusters of music emotions based on the Tellegen-Watson-Clark model. Results provide interesting insights into the quality of the discussed algorithms and features.
