Abstract
In this study, various machine learning methods were used to recognize emotions on databases of different types of music belonging to different cultures. In order to obtain features from the music in these databases, widely used toolboxes were preferred. Correlation-based feature selection method was applied to all the obtained features. BayesNet, Sequential Minimal Optimization, Logistic Regression and Decision Trees are used as machine learning methods. When BayesNet was applied to the remaining features after the feature selection process, %94,35 recognition accuracy rate was obtained for Turkish Emotional Music Database, %79,62 for Bi-Modal Database, and %75,45 for Soundtrack Database, and better results were achieved than other classifiers. Then, the features obtained from the toolboxes were combined and the selection process was made again. After this process, recognition rates of %95,96, %80,24 and %82,72 were obtained for these databases, respectively.
