Homophily describes the phenomenon that similarity breeds connection, i.e., individuals tend to form ties with other people who are similar to themselves in some aspect(s). The similarity in music taste can undoubtedly influence who we make…
This paper strives to find amidst a set of sentences the one best describing the content of a given image or video. Different from existing works, which rely on a joint subspace for their image and video caption retrieval, we propose to do…
A naive approach for finding similar audio items would be to compare each entry from the feature vector of the test example with each feature vector of the candidates in a k-nearest neighbors fashion. There are already two problems with…
We present a thorough analysis of the findings of the latest iteration of the Singing Voice Conversion Challenge, a scientific event aiming to compare and understand different voice conversion systems in a controlled environment. Compared…
We conduct an investigation on various hyper-parameters regarding neural networks used to generate spectral envelopes for singing synthesis. Two perceptive tests, where the first compares two models directly and the other ranks models with…
With the emergence of Web 2.0, tag recommenders have become important tools, which aim to support users in finding descriptive tags for their bookmarked resources. Although current algorithms provide good results in terms of tag prediction…
Top-$N$ recommender systems have been extensively studied. However, the sparsity of user-item activities has not been well resolved. While many hybrid systems were proposed to address the cold-start problem, the profile information has not…
A flexible recommendation and retrieval system requires music similarity in terms of multiple partial elements of musical pieces to allow users to select the element they want to focus on. A method for music similarity learning using…
Language model based methods are powerful techniques for text classification. However, the models have several shortcomings. (1) It is difficult to integrate human knowledge such as keywords. (2) It needs a lot of resources to train the…
Music is a mysterious language that conveys feeling and thoughts via different tones and timbre. For better understanding of timbre in music, we chose music data of 6 representative instruments, analysed their timbre features and classified…
Many feature subset selection (FSS) algorithms have been proposed, but not all of them are appropriate for a given feature selection problem. At the same time, so far there is rarely a good way to choose appropriate FSS algorithms for the…
In this paper, we introduce a tag recommendation algorithm that mimics the way humans draw on items in their long-term memory. This approach uses the frequency and recency of previous tag assignments to estimate the probability of reusing a…
Supervised music representation learning has been performed mainly using semantic labels such as music genres. However, annotating music with semantic labels requires time and cost. In this work, we investigate the use of factual metadata…
Recommendation systems have become essential in modern music streaming platforms, shaping how users discover and engage with songs. One common approach in recommendation systems is collaborative filtering, which suggests content based on…
Singer voice classification is a meaningful task in the digital era. With a huge number of songs today, identifying a singer is very helpful for music information retrieval, music properties indexing, and so on. In this paper, we propose a…
State-of-the-art music recommender systems are based on collaborative filtering, which builds upon learning similarities between users and songs from the available listening data. These approaches inherently face the cold-start problem, as…
In this paper, we present a transfer learning approach for music classification and regression tasks. We propose to use a pre-trained convnet feature, a concatenated feature vector using the activations of feature maps of multiple layers in…
To achieve a flexible recommendation and retrieval system, it is desirable to calculate music similarity by focusing on multiple partial elements of musical pieces and allowing the users to select the element they want to focus on. A…
Music is one of the basic human needs for recreation and entertainment. As song files are digitalized now a days, and digital libraries are expanding continuously, which makes it difficult to recall a song. Thus need of a new classification…
This paper investigates the causality in the decision making of movie recommendations through the users' affective profiles. We advocate a method of assigning emotional tags to a movie by the auto-detection of the affective features in the…
