Abstract

Nowadays, music data grows rapidly because of the advanced multimedia technology. People are always spending much time to listen to music. This incurs a hot research issue for how to discover the users’ interested music preferences from a large amount of music data. To deal with this issue, the music recommender system has been a solution that can infer the users’ musical interests by a set of learning methods. However, recent music recommender systems encounter problems of new item and data sparsity. To alleviate these problems, in this paper, we propose a new recommender system that fuses user ratings and music low-level features to enhance the recommendation quality. The experimental results show that our proposed recommender system outperforms other well-known music recommender systems.
