Emotion Based Music Recommendation System using VGG16-CNN Architecture

Abstract

Abstract: This research introduces an Emotion-based Music Recommendation System (EMRS) using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to analyze facial expressions and recommend music tailored to individual emotional states. Unlike traditional systems, EMRS prioritizes facial expression analysis for personalization. CNNs, trained on a diverse dataset of emotional expressions linked to music, extract key emotional features. EMRS leverages this analysis to intuitively suggest music that can potentially aid in emotional regulation. This research not only advances personalized music recommendation but also opens doors for emotion-aware technology with applications in mental healthcare for emotional imbalance and trauma. EMRS has the potential to serve as a complementary tool for therapists and individuals seeking emotional well-being through music
