The MERGE dataset is a collection of audio, lyrics, and bimodal datasets for conducting research on Music Emotion Recognition. A complete version is provided for each modality. The audio datasets provide 30-second excerpts for each sample, while full lyrics are provided in the relevant datasets. The amount of available samples in each dataset is the following: MERGE Audio Complete: 3554 MERGE Audio Balanced: 3232 MERGE Lyrics Complete: 2568 MERGE Lyrics Balanced: 2400 MERGE Bimodal Complete: 2216 MERGE Bimodal Balanced: 2000 Additional Contents Each dataset contains the following additional files: av_values: File containing the arousal and valence values for each sample sorted by their identifier; tvt_dataframes: Train, validate, and test splits for each dataset. Both a 70-15-15 and a 40-30-30 split are provided. Metadata A metadata spreadsheet is provided for each dataset with the following information for each sample, if available: Song (Audio and Lyrics datasets) - Song identifiers. Identifiers starting with MT were extracted from the AllMusic platform, while those starting with A or L were collected from private collections; Quadrant - Label corresponding to one of the four quadrants from Russell's Circumplex Model; AllMusic Id - For samples starting with A or L, the matching AllMusic identifier is also provided. This was used to complement the available information for the samples originally obtained from the platform; Artist - First performing artist or band; Title - Song title; Relevance - AllMusic metric representing the relevance of the song in relation to the query used; Duration - Song length in seconds; Moods - User-generated mood tags extracted from the AllMusic platform and available in Warriner's affective dictionary; MoodsAll - User-generated mood tags extracted from the AllMusic platform; Genres - User-generated genre tags extracted from the AllMusic platform; Themes - User-generated theme tags extracted from the AllMusic platform; Styles - User-generated style tags extracted from the AllMusic platform; AppearancesTrackIDs - All AllMusic identifiers related with a sample; Sample - Availability of the sample in the AllMusic platform; SampleURL - URL to the 30-second excerpt in AllMusic; ActualYear - Year of song release.
