Music Recommendation Based on Audio Fingerprint

원문 초록

This work combined different audio features to obtain a more robust fingerprint to be used in a music recommendation process. The combination of these methods resulted in a high-dimensional vector. To reduce the number of values, PCA was applied to the set of resulting fingerprints, selecting the number of principal components that corresponded to an explained variance of $95\%$. Finally, with these PCA-fingerprints, the similarity matrix of each fingerprint with the entire data set was calculated. The process was applied to 200 songs from a personal music library; the songs were tagged with the artists' corresponding genres. The recommendations (fingerprints of songs with the closest similarity) were rated successful if the recommended songs' genre matched the target songs' genre. With this procedure, it was possible to obtain an accuracy of $89\%$ (successful recommendations out of total recommendation requests).
