Homemade videos by U2 fans could help online music providers use emotions to suggest playlists
The Irish band invited fans to create their own videos for âSong For Someoneâ, from U2âs 2014 album Songs Of Innocence, in order to make it âyour songâ.
A team from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow looked at 150 YouTube videos of the song including covers and slideshows, and found âa range of methods, both visual and musical, used to convey emotion, through location, style of music, and video contentâ.
