Abstract
The bag of frames (BOF) approach commonly used in
music emotion recognition (MER) has several limitations.
The semantic gap is believed to be responsible for the glass
ceiling on the performance of BOF MER systems. However,
there are hardly any alternative proposals to address
it. In this article, we introduce the theoretical framework
of a computational model of auditory memory that incorporates
temporal information into MER systems. We advocate
that the organization of auditory memory places
time at the core of the link between musical meaning and
musical emotions. The main goal is to motivate MER researchers
to develop an improved class of systems capable
of overcoming the limitations of the BOF approach and
coping with the inherent complexity of musical emotions.
