Query: Cross-cultural Mood Perception in Pop Songs and its Alignment with Mood
  Detection Algorithms   Do people from different cultural backgrounds perceive the mood in music the
same way? How closely do human ratings across different cultures approximate
automatic mood detection algorithms that are often trained on corpora of
predominantly Western popular music? Analyzing 166 participants responses from
Brazil, South Korea, and the US, we examined the similarity between the ratings
of nine categories of perceived moods in music and estimated their alignment
with four popular mood detection algorithms. We created a dataset of 360 recent
pop songs drawn from major music charts of the countries and constructed
semantically identical mood descriptors across English, Korean, and Portuguese
languages. Multiple participants from the three countries rated their
familiarity, preference, and perceived moods for a given song. Ratings were
highly similar within and across cultures for basic mood attributes such as
sad, cheerful, and energetic. However, we found significant cross-cultural
differences for more complex characteristics such as dreamy and love. To our
surprise, the results of mood detection algorithms were uniformly correlated
across human ratings from all three countries and did not show a detectable
bias towards any particular culture. Our study thus suggests that the mood
detection algorithms can be considered as an objective measure at least within
the popular music context.
