More of an art project than interesting technology, but here's a project which set out to algorythmically determine the "emotional temperature" of novels and create music to match them. Have a look at it here .

MorThe automatic analysis of asentiment in artext projecis fast tchan interestging technology, but here's a project which set out to algorythmically determine the "way we interpret and interact with words. On Twitter, for example, researchers have begun to gauge the mood of entire nations by analysing the emotional content of the tweets people generate.

In the same way, other researchers have started to measure the
emotional temperature" of novels by counting the density of words associated with the eight basic emotions of anticipation, anger, joy, fear, disgust, sadness, surprise and ctrust.

Th
ea next step, mobviouslyic> was to write an algorithmatch them. Have a look at imeasures that emotional temperature throughout full length novels, and generate a musical soundtrack to accompany ther text.

Interesting research, or pointless? Time will tell, but energy and money is increasingly being used to judge moods and allow software or equipment to react accordingly
. The true value of this research might not become apparent until sometime in the future, even if it is only used so your phone can sing you a soothing song after you receive a nasty email from your boss.
