This study approached the Hit Song Science problem with the aim of predicting which songs in the Afrobeats genre will become popular among Spotify listeners. A dataset of 2063 songs was generated through the Spotify Web API, with the…
Spotify's streaming charts offer a real-time lens into music popularity, driving discovery, playlists, and even revenue potential. Understanding what influences a song's rise in ranks on these charts-especially early on-can guide marketing…
Charts are used to measure relative success for a large variety of cultural items. Traditional music charts have been shown to follow self-organizing principles with regard to the distribution of item lifetimes, the on-chart residence…
Music popularity prediction has garnered significant attention in both industry and academia, fuelled by the rise of data-driven algorithms and streaming platforms like Spotify. This study aims to explore the predictive power of various…
The online estimation of rhythmic information, such as beat positions, downbeat positions, and meter, is critical for many real-time music applications. Musical rhythm comprises complex hierarchical relationships across time, rendering its…
In this paper, we present a novel state of the art system for automatic downbeat tracking from music signals. The audio signal is first segmented in frames which are synchronized at the tatum level of the music. We then extract different…
This paper presents a comparative analysis on two artificial neural networks (with different architectures) for the task of tempo estimation. For this purpose, it also proposes the modeling, training and evaluation of a B-RNN (Bidirectional…
Analyzing musical influence networks, such as those formed by artist influence or sampling, has provided valuable insights into contemporary Western music. Here, computational methods like centrality rankings help identify influential…
The advent of digital streaming platforms have recently revolutionized the landscape of music industry, with the ensuing digitalization providing structured data collections that open new research avenues for investigating popularity…
A model for hit song prediction can be used in the pop music industry to identify emerging trends and potential artists or songs before they are marketed to the public. While most previous work formulates hit song prediction as a regression…
The consumption of music has its specificities in comparison with other media, especially in relation to listening durations and replays. Music recommendation can take these properties into account in order to predict the behaviours of the…
In the digital streaming landscape, it's becoming increasingly challenging for artists and industry experts to predict the success of music tracks. This study introduces a pioneering methodology that uses Convolutional Neural Networks…
We analyze daily lead-time distributions for two Airbnb demand metrics, Nights Booked (volume) and Gross Booking Value (revenue), treating each day's allocation across 0-365 days as a compositional vector. The data span 2,557 days from…
Audio-based cover song detection has received much attention in the MIR community in the recent years. To date, the most popular formulation of the problem has been to compare the audio signals of two tracks and to make a binary decision…
Multilevel compositional data are data that are repeatedly measured or clustered within groups and are non-negative and sum to a constant value. These data arise in various settings, such as intensive, longitudinal studies using ecological…
Community structure in networks has been investigated from many viewpoints, usually with the same end result: a community detection algorithm of some kind. Recent research offers methods for combining the results of such algorithms into…
Despite the widespread use of Barabasi's scale-free networks and Erdos-Renyi networks of which degree correlation (assortativity) is neutral, numerous studies demonstrated that online social networks tend to show assortative mixing…
The Spotify Sequential Skip Prediction Challenge focuses on predicting if a track in a session will be skipped by the user or not. In this paper, we describe our approach to this problem and the final system that was submitted to the…
Statistical modeling of popular music presents a unique challenge due to the complexity of song structures, which cannot be easily analyzed using conventional statistical tools. However, recent advances in data science have shown that…
In many applications, data often arise from multiple groups that may share similar characteristics. A joint estimation method that models several groups simultaneously can be more efficient than estimating parameters in each group…
