Abstract

Music emotion recognition (MER), a sub-task of music information retrieval (MIR), has developed rapidly in recent years. However, the learning of affect-salient features remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose an end-to-end attention-based deep feature fusion (ADFF) approach for MER. Only taking log Mel-spectrogram as input, this method uses adapted VGGNet as spatial feature learning module (SFLM) to obtain spatial features across different levels. Then, these features are fed into squeeze-and-excitation (SE) attention-based temporal feature learning module (TFLM) to get multi-level emotion-related spatial-temporal features (ESTFs), which can discriminate emotions well in the final emotion space. In addition, a novel data processing is devised to cut the single-channel input into multi-channel to improve calculative efficiency while ensuring the quality of MER. Experiments show that our proposed method achieves 10.43% and 4.82% relative improvement of valence and arousal respect
