Music and playlists

Learn what you like to hear next.

  1. Rate short clips
  2. Learn your taste
  3. Suggest another track
Illustration of the proposed workflow.

A listener likes sparse piano and skips busy percussion. A music app could rank existing tracks or suggest new clips with that pattern in mind. A future version could start from a playlist you already like, then refine its suggestions with new ratings. Game soundtracks and meditation playlists were also original ideas.

Where the small model fits

A small personal scorer learns from ratings. With a compatible generator, it could score or adjust the internal inputs before rendering a full audio clip. Another option is to represent existing tracks with an audio model and rank those tracks.

What would need to work

Compare blind listener choices against an ordinary playlist, including variety, unwanted repeats and the full cost of making audio. The lab has not validated an audio generator.
