Abstract

In this paper, we propose Personalized Markov Embedding (PME), a next-song recommendation strategy for online karaoke users. By modeling the sequential singing behavior, we first embed songs and users into a Euclidean space in which distances between songs and users reflect the strength of their relationships. Then, given each user's last song, we can generate personalized recommendations by ranking the candidate songs according to the embedding. Moreover, PME can be trained without any requirement of content information. Finally, we perform an experimental evaluation on a real world data set provided by ihou.com which is an online karaoke website launched by iFLYTEK, and the results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of PME.
