The accuracy of any such description is typically_x000D_
proportional to one's level of expertise with the subject. The ability to search for music efficiently using_x000D_
language is therefore typically reserved for musicians._x000D_
Apollo Music Store (AMS) specializes in curating and licensing music to fulfill the needs of advertising_x000D_
agencies and brands around the world. To stay at the top of its field, AMS is experimenting with new ways of_x000D_
letting its users find and select relevant music efficiently. AMS aims to eliminate the need to translate musical_x000D_
ideas to natural language, and instead allow users to input music tracks into the AMS search engine as_x000D_
examples of what they are looking for._x000D_
Building on results obtained during our Engage Grant titled Content-aware Music Recommender System using_x000D_
Emotion Recognition, where our algorithms reached accuracies of up to 87% on given emotions, we intend to_x000D_
pursue our research in designing machine-learning algorithms for the automated recommendation of music,_x000D_
based on the emotional and acoustic similarities to an audio example provided by the user. This project_x000D_
combines the quest to understand how to model human emotions with machine learning techniques and music_x000D_
