ABSTRACT
Human emotional experience and wellbeing are greatly impacted by music.
Conventional music recommendation systems mainly depend on user behaviour.
analysis and past data, frequently overlooking the emotional context of the moment.
The project suggests a cutting-edge Music Recommendation System (MRS) that
uses real-time facial emotion recognition to make music recommendations based on the
user's attitude at the moment.
A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used by the system to provide precise
recognising facial emotions and classifying them into seven categories: Angry,
Surprise, disgust, fear, joy, neutrality, and sadness. The model records live footage.
feed through a webcam, analyses the area of the face, and forecasts the dominant
feelings. A mapping mechanism links musical emotions with
features—like volume, pitch, and tempo—with suitable music.
The system's components are integrated by an intuitive web application,
permitting analysis in real time.
The system shows great promise in affective computing and music information, with an
astounding accuracy of 97% on the FER-2013 dataset.
retrieval. This strategy opens the door for emotionally intelligent digital media platforms
by providing a more tailored and responsive music listening experience.
