A Self-Organizing Map Based Knowledge Discovery for Music Recommendation Systems

چکیده
In this paper, we present an approach for musical artist recommendation based on Self-Organizing Maps (SOMs) of artist reviews from Amazon web site. The Amazon reviews for the artists are obtained using the Amazon web service interface and stored in the form of textual documents that form the basis for the formation of the SOMs. The idea is to spatially organize these textual documents wherein similar documents are located nearby. We make an attempt to exploit the similarities between different artist reviews to provide insights into similar artists that can be used in a recommendation service. We introduce the concept of a modified weighting scheme for text mining in the musical domain and demonstrate its role in improving the quality of the recommendations. Finally, we present results for a list of around 400 musical artists and validate them using recommendations from a popular recommendation service.

Uncertainty Modeling of a Group Tourism Recommendation System Based on Pearson Similarity Criteria, Bayesian Network and Self-Organizing Map Clustering Algorithm
Group tourism is one of the most important tasks in tourist recommender systems. These systems, despite of the potential contradictions among the group's tastes, seek to provide joint suggestions to all members of the group, and propose recommendations that would allow the satisfaction of a group of users rather than individual user satisfaction. Another issue that has received less attention i...
متن کاملRecommendation system based on the clustering of frequent sets
Generating shopping recommendations has become a classical problem in knowledge engineering with extensive practical applications. In this article we propose a system for the generation of such recommendations based on considering both local and global influences. Key-Words: shopping recommendation, frequent sets, clustering, self-organizing maps

متن کاملNGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map
Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...

This paper proposes a new method to distinguish the printed digits, regardless of font and size, using neural networks.Unlike our proposed method, existing neural network based techniques are only able to recognize the trained fonts. These methods need a large database containing digits in various fonts. New fonts are often introduced to the public, which may not be truly recognized by the Opti...
