Emotion Based Music and Video Recommendation System

Abstract

In today\'s digital age, the rapid growth of music and video platforms has created an overwhelming array of content, making personalized recommendations essential for enhancing user experience. This paper presents an Emotion-Based Music and Video Recommendation System, which leverages advanced facial recognition and sentiment analysis techniques to identify a user\'s emotional state and recommend content accordingly. By analyzing real-time facial expressions and integrating these insights with pre-existing user preferences, the system bridges the gap between human emotions and content consumption. The proposed approach employs deep learning algorithms to achieve high accuracy in emotion detection, ensuring relevant and context-specific recommendations. Experimental results demonstrate the system\'s capability to adapt to dynamic emotional changes, offering a more immersive and tailored experience for users. This innovation not only redefines content personalization but also holds promise for applications in mental health and well-being.

Introduction

The rise of digital streaming has transformed content consumption but traditional recommendation systems often fail to account for users’ dynamic emotional states. This paper proposes an Emotion-Based Music and Video Recommendation System that uses facial recognition and sentiment analysis to detect users’ emotions in real time and provide content that matches or uplifts their mood. By integrating deep learning algorithms with historical user data, the system balances immediate emotional needs with long-term preferences.

The literature review highlights previous work in sentiment analysis and emotion detection, noting limitations like reliance on single data sources and low accuracy in real-world settings. This study addresses these gaps through a multimodal approach combining facial expression, text sentiment, and user history, while optimizing computational efficiency and exploring applications beyond entertainment, including mental health.

Using convolutional neural networks and natural language processing, the system was tested on diverse participants and achieved 92% overall emotion detection accuracy, with highest precision in recognizing happiness and calmness. User feedback was positive, with most finding recommendations relevant and engaging. The system effectively adapts to changing moods and aligns content genres with emotional states.

Challenges remain in detecting complex emotions and handling environmental issues, but overall, the study demonstrates the promise of emotion-aware recommendation technology for more personalized and intuitive user experiences.

Conclusion

The results validate the effectiveness of the Emotion-Based Music and Video Recommendation System, demonstrating its potential to transform content personalization by aligning recommendations with users’ real-time emotional states. The observed trends and patterns not only provide insights into user behavior but also pave the way for future enhancements to broaden the system’s applicability. By addressing the noted limitations, the system has the potential to redefine how users interact with music and video platforms, offering a uniquely immersive and tailored experience.
