Mood:Machine
MAS.969 Final Project | December 2005
(Formerly called 'mySoundTrack')

~ A Commonsense Playlist Generator ~

   Mood:Machine is a playlist generation tool that bases its output on the emotion or mood of the user. The taxonomy is based on All Music Guide's mood classification, where artist, album and song are each assigned several moods that reflect the affective response of their music. Mood:Machine uses a modified version of the guess_mood function in MIT Media Lab's ConceptNet. This allows it to search a large corpus of commonsense knowledge to better connect the user's query to one of the moods in Mood:Machine. The program then generates a webpage containing a list of songs that are based on the top five moods returned by ConceptNet.
