The Song-Lyric Semantic Analyser utilises the enormous data storage and examination capabilities of the MarkLogic database to examine the canon of songs in the English language. Expanding on the work of song lyric semantic analysis for song categorisation (see http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1394328&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1394328), this tool works to develop a semantic library of human emotion by categorising common word associations in song lyrics, inferring logical conclusions to the assertions made in the lyrics, and then asking a human audience to confirm the inference. Using human confirmation allows the system to learn from how realistic its guesses are, and improve over time. By examining all the songs in the English language, and eventually expanding to other languages, the Song-lyric Semantic Analyser will become a powerful tool for generating artificial expressions of emotion, which will be of enormous use in the music and artificial intelligence industries.
You will need to have access to a MarkLogic instance, either locally, or on a AWS instance.
If you want to use a AWS instance, ask us to set-up an account for you. Otherwise, go to developer.marklogic.com to download a copy.
You will need to know the host and port numbers. If you are using an AWS instance, we will create the database for you and provide you with a username and password. Otherwise, if you're downloading it to your machine, you'll need to create a database (instructions below).
To install and prepare, check the code out
git clone https://github.com/
Then, from the command line, cd in the client folder and run:
bower install
Then, cd into the server folder and run the following commands
npm install
If you are using the AWS instance, you skip this step. Create the database:
npm run create
Deploy the assets:
npm run deploy
Load the sample data:
npm run loadData
Run the test server:
npm run run
Now, to play the game, go to: http://[middle.hostname]:[middle.port]/play.html, and to view the results, go to: http://[middle.hostname]:[middle.port]/results.html.
For example, using the default values, these urls become: http://localhost:8080/play.html and http://localhost:8080/results.html
In order to make changes to the server code, the following commands are necessary:
Undeploy the existing code:
npm run undeploy
Deploy the new code:
npm run deploy
To remove the database:
npm run remove
To run the tests:
npm run test
