How algorithms decode the art of emotional painting
Explore the intersection of linguistics and melody. This lecture presents a computational analysis of how emotions are intentionally painted through the dual mediums of text and music within a specific corpus.
In this presentation from the MIT course Computational Music Theory and Analysis (Spring 2023), Professor Cuthbert and Sophia Sun share their research on emotion painting. The video details their work analyzing how emotional qualities are embedded in both written language and musical structures. By examining a corpus of works, the researchers demonstrate how computational methods can identify the specific ways creators use different mediums to evoke particular feelings.
