A Long-Tail Friendly Representation Framework for Artist and Music Similarity
share
The investigation of the similarity between artists and music is crucial in music retrieval and recommendation, and addressing the challenge of the long-tail phenomenon is increasingly important. This paper proposes a Long-Tail Friendly Representation Framework (LTFRF) that utilizes neural networks to model the similarity relationship. Our approach integrates music, user, metadata, and relationship data into a unified metric learning framework, and employs a meta-consistency relationship as a regular term to introduce the Multi-Relationship Loss. Compared to the Graph Neural Network (GNN), our proposed framework improves the representation performance in long-tail scenarios, which are characterized by sparse relationships between artists and music. We conduct experiments and analysis on the AllMusic dataset, and the results demonstrate that our framework provides a favorable generalization of artist and music representation. Specifically, on similar artist/music recommendation tasks, the LTFRF outperforms the baseline by 9.69 Ratio@10, and in long-tail cases, the framework achieves 11.05 than the baseline in Consistent@10.
