ABSTRACT
The ACM RecSys Challenge 2018 involves the task of automatic playlist continuation (APC), aiming to help users to create and extend their own music playlists. In this paper, we explain teamrozik's approach to the Challenge. Our approach to APC is twofold: Cold-Start-APC for short playlists and SPAD-APC for other playlists. Cold-Start-APC is a rudimentary popularity-based recommender. SPAD-APC treats playlists as if they were user profiles. It builds an implicit matrix factorization model to generate initial recommendations. But it re-ranks those recommendations using SubProfile-Aware Diversification (SPAD), which is a personalized intent-aware diversification method. The SPAD re-ranking method aims to ensure that the final set of recommendations covers different interests or tastes in the playlists of the users, which we refer to as subprofiles. We show that such subprofiles do exist within playlists and we show that the SPAD method achieves higher precision than matrix factorization alone.

Automatic playlist continuation using a hybrid recommender system combining features from text and audio
RecSys Challenge '18: Proceedings of the ACM Recommender Systems Challenge 2018The ACM RecSys Challenge 2018 focuses on music recommendation in the context of automatic playlist continuation. In this paper, we describe our approach to the problem and the final hybrid system that was submitted to the challenge by our team ...
Subprofile-aware diversification of recommendations
A user of a recommender system is more likely to be satisfied by one or more of the recommendations if each individual recommendation is relevant to her but additionally if the set of recommendations is diverse. The most common approach to ...
Using Adversarial Autoencoders for Multi-Modal Automatic Playlist Continuation
RecSys Challenge '18: Proceedings of the ACM Recommender Systems Challenge 2018The task of automatic playlist continuation is generating a list of recommended tracks that can be added to an existing playlist. By suggesting appropriate tracks, i. e., songs to add to a playlist, a recommender system can increase the user engagement ...
