Abstract :
This paper presents an approach to learn a better music similarity measure and presents an application to music playlist generation. Different from previous work, in our approach, automatically detected music attributes are used to represent each song. A set of kernels is employed in similarity measure, with each kernel measuring on a subset of music attributes and having a different importance weight. In automatic music playlist generation, a ranking method is presented, which considers multiple seed songs and possible outlier seed. Experiments show the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and the quality of the playlist generated based on automatic annotations is comparable to that based on manual annotations.
