Music Recommendation to Groups

2012
Student Projects

Abstract

First we present Unison, a conceptual music recommender system for groups of people; the system aims at generating a playlist that takes musical tastes of all the group members into account. We discuss both theoretical and practical concerns related to such a system. We develop a model of user preferences and discuss how we can shift from individual recommendations to group consensus. In constructing the user preferences model we use an intermediary music track model that combines user-generated tags with a dimensionality reduction technique to build a compact spatial embedding of tracks. Secondly we introduce GroupStreamer, a practical implementation of the system that runs on Android devices. We present the technological choices that were made along the way.

User experience design

User experience design (UX design, UXD, UED, or XD) is the process of defining the experience a user would go through when interacting with a company, its services, and its products. Design decisions in UX design are often driven by research, data analysis, and test results rather than aesthetic preferences and opinions. Unlike user interface design, which focuses solely on the design of a computer interface, UX design encompasses all aspects of a user's perceived experience with a product or website, such as its usability, usefulness, desirability, brand perception, and overall performance.

Recommender system

A recommender system, or a recommendation system (sometimes replacing 'system' with a synonym such as platform or engine), is a subclass of information filtering system that provide suggestions for items that are most pertinent to a particular user. Typically, the suggestions refer to various decision-making processes, such as what product to purchase, what music to listen to, or what online news to read. Recommender systems are particularly useful when an individual needs to choose an item from a potentially overwhelming number of items that a service may offer.

User interface design

User interface (UI) design or user interface engineering is the design of user interfaces for machines and software, such as computers, home appliances, mobile devices, and other electronic devices, with the focus on maximizing usability and the user experience. In computer or software design, user interface (UI) design primarily focuses on information architecture. It is the process of building interfaces that clearly communicates to the user what's important. UI design refers to graphical user interfaces and other forms of interface design.
