Using a public experimental dataset, I analyzed story-level ratings, compared correlations across conditions, and examined calibration and exploratory ownership measures. The analysis identifies a condition-dependent pattern for novelty alignment, but not usefulness. It is exploratory, was not preregistered, and requires independent statistical validation. - [Beyond Genre Classification: Evaluating Machine Learning Models for Music Emotion Recognition Across Instrumental and Vocal Audio](https://chiradeep.me/archive/research/music-emotion-recognition): A study in progress on whether music emotion recognition treats instrumental audio and vocal audio differently.

Nothing above needs JavaScript to read. - Every record listed under Projects, Research, Writing, and Notes also answers as Markdown at the same URL with `.md` appended, for example https://chiradeep.me/projects/sidequest.md. Requests that send `Accept: text/markdown` to those HTML URLs receive the same twin. Books share the archive shelf page and do not have a separate Markdown twin. - A Markdown twin is `noindex` and names its HTML page as canonical. The HTML page is the one to cite. - https://chiradeep.me/llms-full.txt carries the same records with their full text inline. - Published work only. Drafts, unpublished research, and placeholder slots labelled as reserved are not listed and must not be described as finished work. - Generated from the records the pages render. This file is a convenience for machine readers; it is not a claim that the site will be cited, indexed, or ranked.
