This document provides an overview of mood recognition in audio content analysis. It discusses how mood recognition aims to identify the mood or emotion of a song by extracting features and classifying using methods like regression. Key challenges include defining and quantifying moods/emotions, developing ground truth data, and determining appropriate mood models. Common approaches include classifying into mood clusters or mapping to the arousal-valence circumplex model of affect using regression techniques. Results can vary significantly based on the data but classification rates around 50% and regression errors of 0.1-0.4 are typical.
