Abstract:
In music information retrieval, the rank position in similar artist lists have gained a lot of attention due to the surge in online music listening and semi-automated song recommendation approaches. Artist tags with respect to genre, style and mood are critical components in assisting these online communities. In this paper, we examine the relationship between an artist and associated similar artists by considering an artist's top tags. We are seeking to uncover patterns and correlations between pairwise rank positioning e.g., rank 1-2, rank 2-3, and so forth. The experiments show positive correlation between rank position pairs; however, the strength of the correlation is not as high as expected.
