Music Recommendation by Modeling User's Preferred Perspectives of Content, Singer/Genre and Popularity

Abstract

As the amount, availability, and use of online music increase, music recommendation becomes an important field of research. Collaborative, content-based and case-based recommendation systems and their hybrids have been used for music recommendation. There are already a number of online music recommendation systems. Although specific user information, such as, demographic data, education, and origin have been shown to affect music preferences, they are usually not collected by the online music recommendation systems, because users would not like to disclose their personal data. Therefore, user models mostly contain information about which music pieces a user liked and which ones s/he did not and when.
