Explicit Modelling of the Implicit Short Term User Preferences for Music Recommendation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recommender systems are a key component of music sharing platforms, which suggest musical recordings a user might like. People often have implicit preferences while listening to music, though these preferences might not always be the same while they listen to music at different times. For example, a user might be interested in listening to songs of only a particular artist at some time, and the same user might be interested in the top-rated songs of a genre at another time. In this paper we try to explicitly model the short term preferences of the user with the help of Last.fm tags of the songs the user has listened to. With a session defined as a period of activity surrounded by periods of inactivity, we introduce the concept of a subsession, which is that part of the session wherein the preference of the user does not change much. We assume the user preference might change within a session and a session might have multiple subsessions. We use our modelling of the user preferences to generate recommendations for the next song the user might listen to. Experiments on the user listening histories taken from Last.fm indicate that this approach beats the present methodologies in predicting the next recording a user might listen to.

Today, the trust has turned into one of the most beneficial solutions to improve recommender systems, especially in the collaborative filtering method. However, trust statements suffer from a number of shortcomings, including the trust statements sparsity, users' inability to express explicit trust for other users in most of the existing applications, etc. Thus to overcome these problems, this ...
متن کاملA Matrix Factorization Algorithm for Music Recommendation using Implicit User Feedback
The goal of recommender systems is to make personalized product recommendations based on users’ taste. As the Netflix challenge demonstrated, one of the the most effective way to build such systems is through matrix factorization. Matrix factorization algorithms utilize prior product feedback given by users to automatically build user and product profiles. A product can then be recommended to a...

One common dichotomy faced in recommender systems is that explicit user feedback -in the form of ratings, tags, or user-provided personal informationis scarce, yet the most popular source of information in most state-of-the-art recommendation algorithms, and on the other side, implicit user feedback such as numbers of clicks, playcounts, or web pages visited in a sessionis more frequently avail...

Collaborative filtering (CF)-based recommender systems represent a promising solution for the rapidly growing mobile music market. However, in the mobile Web environment, a traditional CF system that uses explicit ratings to collect user preferences has a limitation: mobile customers find it difficult to rate their tastes directly because of poor interfaces and high telecommunication costs. Imp...
