This is the summary paper for the AudioMOS Challenge 2025, the very first challenge for automatic subjective quality prediction for synthetic audio. The challenge consists of three tracks. The first track aims to assess text-to-music…
This work formulates a novel song recommender system as a matrix completion problem that benefits from collaborative filtering through Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) and content-based filtering via total variation (TV) on graphs.…
Personalization of playlists is a common feature in music streaming services, but conventional techniques, such as collaborative filtering, rely on explicit assumptions regarding content quality to learn how to make recommendations. Such…
We present CompoSuite, an open-source simulated robotic manipulation benchmark for compositional multi-task reinforcement learning (RL). Each CompoSuite task requires a particular robot arm to manipulate one individual object to achieve a…
We propose a machine-translation approach to automatically generate a playlist title from a set of music tracks. We take a sequence of track IDs as input and a sequence of words in a playlist title as output, adapting the…
Recommending playlists to users in the context of a digital music service is a difficult task because a playlist is often more than the mere sum of its parts. We present a novel method for generating playlist embeddings that are invariant…
Many tasks in music information retrieval, such as recommendation, and playlist generation for online radio, fall naturally into the query-by-example setting, wherein a user queries the system by providing a song, and the system responds…
Recommender systems play an essential role in music streaming services, prominently in the form of personalized playlists. Exploring the user interactions within these listening sessions can be beneficial to understanding the user…
In this paper, we aim to solve the automatic playlist continuation (APC) problem by modeling complex interactions among users, playlists, and songs using only their interaction data. Prior methods mainly rely on dot product to account for…
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…
Playlists have become a significant part of our listening experience because of the digital cloud-based services such as Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music. Owing to the meteoric rise in the usage of playlists, recommending playlists is crucial…
The explosive growth of information challenges people's capability in finding out items fitting to their own interests. Recommender systems provide an efficient solution by automatically push possibly relevant items to users according to…
This paper describes the solution method taken by LeBuSiShu team for track1 in ACM KDD CUP 2011 contest (resulting in the 5th place). We identified two main challenges: the unique item taxonomy characteristics as well as the large data set…
Most music streaming services rely on automatic recommendation algorithms to exploit their large music catalogs. These algorithms aim at retrieving a ranked list of music tracks based on their similarity with a target music track. In this…
User-generated item lists are popular on many platforms. Examples include video-based playlists on YouTube, image-based lists (or"boards") on Pinterest, book-based lists on Goodreads, and answer-based lists on question-answer forums like…
In this study, we approached the Hit Song Prediction problem, which aims to predict which songs will become Billboard hits. We gathered a dataset of nearly 18500 hit and non-hit songs and extracted their audio features using the Spotify Web…
We look at how machine learning techniques that derive properties of items in a collection of independent media can be used to automatically embed stories into such collections. To do so, we use models that extract the tempo of songs to…
Recommender Systems (RecSys) have become indispensable in numerous applications, profoundly influencing our everyday experiences. Despite their practical significance, academic research in RecSys often abstracts the formulation of research…
Descriptions are often provided along with recommendations to help users' discovery. Recommending automatically generated music playlists (e.g. personalised playlists) introduces the problem of generating descriptions. In this paper, we…
The organizer of a machine learning competition faces the problem of maintaining an accurate leaderboard that faithfully represents the quality of the best submission of each competing team. What makes this estimation problem particularly…
