Audio embedding models analyzed for music recommendation systems

A new research paper analyzes the effectiveness of various audio embedding models for music recommendation systems, particularly focusing on generative approaches. The study systematically evaluates six audio encoders across content-based, sequential, and Semantic-ID-based generative recommender systems. Findings indicate that audio-text-aligned and music-domain representations perform best when used directly, while interaction-based sequential training reduces performance disparities between encoders. The research also suggests that increasing Semantic-ID capacity does not consistently enhance generative systems and can lead to instability. AI

IMPACT Provides guidance on selecting audio encoders and designing Semantic IDs for modern music recommender systems.

    From Classification to Recommendation: Empirical Analysis of Audio Embedding Models Application for Content-Based Music Recommendation

    Pretrained audio representation models learned from large-scale corpora have achieved strong performance in audio classification and understanding. However, most existing models are optimized for objectives such as masked prediction, contrastive learning, or audio-text alignment,…
