MusicMood

A machine learning approach to classify music by mood based on song lyrics.

This project is about building a music recommendation system for users who want to listen to happy songs. Such a system can not only be used to brighten up one's mood on a rainy weekend; especially in hospitals, other medical clinics, or public locations such as restaurants, the MusicMood classifier could be used to spread positive mood among people.
