Towards Music Captioning: Generating Music Playlist Descriptions
This addresses the need for descriptive text to aid user discovery in music recommendation systems, but it appears incremental as it applies existing techniques to a new domain.
The paper tackles the problem of generating descriptions for automatically recommended music playlists by proposing a method called music captioning, which uses audio content analysis and natural language processing to utilize track information.
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 propose a method for generating music playlist descriptions, which is called as music captioning. In the proposed method, audio content analysis and natural language processing are adopted to utilise the information of each track.
