MoodFlow: Cross-Modal Music Recommendation for Short-Form Videos via Neural ODEs with Mood-Aligned Music Recommendations
摘要
The rise of short-form video platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels highlights the need for effective background music selection to enhance viewer engagement. We propose MoodFlow, a cross-modal music recommendation system leveraging deep learning to align video emotional tone with mood-appropriate soundtracks. Using Neural ODEs and CNFs, MoodFlow models non-linear transformations between visual and auditory embeddings. A diversity-enhancing soft clustering mechanism balances relevance and genre variety. Experiments show query processing times of 2–5 seconds on GPU hardware, with qualitative assessments confirming high emotional resonance. MoodFlow offers a scalable, mood-aware solution for automated content creation, enhancing user experiences on video-sharing platforms.
