Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of generating a user profile on a media device which has obtained a set of playlists.
- Another aspect of the present invention relates to the generation of recommended playlists.
- the present invention also relates to a computer system and a computer program product for performing the method.
- the present invention relates to a media device on which said method can be executed.
- US 2002/0040326 discloses a method that is provided for selecting categorized content items for download to a mobile device. The method monitors presentation, playback and visual presentation of content items on said mobile device.
- the content items are items of any media type (e.g. MP3) downloadable to said mobile device as a data stream.
- user preferences e.g. in the form of a corresponding user profile
- the content may be a song, a movie, etc.
- Said user preferences and user profile are quick functionality items to help the users to select or recommend content of preferred taste to them.
- said preferences and user profile relieve the user of the time-consuming task - when applied as a software tool or as an added functionality on a media player, e.g. a CD player, a radio, a personal computer, etc. - of selecting appropriate media content among a huge amount of available content and thereby avoiding information overload, because the Internet, the broadcasting companies, record companies and the film industry provide an overwhelming and still increasing amount of various content, e.g.
- a single playlist can typically only be used to express partial interests, e.g. one playlist represents interest(s) in rock content, another playlist represents interests in movie content, e.g. the interests in opera, whereas still another very different playlist represents interests in soap opera TV broadcasts, etc.
- a single playlist can be an incomplete and only a partial expression for a partial user interest in a dedicated content area, such as - in the above examples - rock content, opera movies and soap opera TV broadcasts, etc.
- a problem of current recommenders is that they do not efficiently analyze playlists composed by a user.
- the recommenders do not analyze how the playlists are made by a particular user.
- the known recommenders recommend individual items which may be combined into a playlist in a too simple manner, e.g. take best 10 items.
- a method (and corresponding media device) of generating a user profile for a given user on a media device which has automatically obtained a first set of playlists comprising at least one playlist belonging to said given user, said method comprising the steps of: analyzing said first set of playlists and deriving a number of playlist features expressing properties of the playlist ; and generating the user profile based on said analyzed first set of playlists and said derived playlist features.
- the generated reliable user profile can be applied as a quick functionality item helping the user to select and/or be recommended preferred content on a given media device prior to a possibly subsequent playback of that preferred content.
- aspects taken into account are preferably frequency of occurrence, creation date of the playlist, and relation between content items (songs, video, etc.) in one or more playlists.
- said system, media device and/or the program can distinguish between manually created playlists and commercial playlists (i.e. albums), e.g. by checking for existence of a playlist on the Internet, or by tagging a playlist during manual creation. It is an additional advantage of the invention that no profiling efforts by users are required.
- Fig. 1 shows a method of generating a user profile on a media device having playlists
- Fig. 2 shows a media device generating and applying the user profile and a computer-readable medium.
- Fig. 1 shows a method of generating a user profile on a media device having playlists.
- Said media device may be a jukebox, a set-top box, a TV, a PC, a DVD player, a radio, a VCR and/or the like on which content from a playlist and/or recommended content from the user profile can be played back.
- a playlist is an ordered list of e.g. musical pieces (songs). It may comprise other content as well or instead e.g. pictorial pieces (video).
- a song is an audio fragment with metadata attached to or embedded in it (for instance, an MP3-file with a header containing information about the song).
- a video is comprised of picture fragments (e.g. MPEG frames) with corresponding metadata attached to or embedded in them (for instance, an MPEG-file having a header that comprises various information items about the video).
- Music metadata describes song features. Typical song features are nominal features such as song title and artist. categorical or numerical features such as genre, tempo and release year. Also low-level signal properties, extracted automatically from the audio signal, can be used.
- metadata describing video features for the video movie is similarly possible.
- playlists comprising an ordered list of songs; however, it should be kept in mind that the description is intended to also cover playlists comprising an ordered list of videos, photos, etc.
- a short playlist could be like this:
- playlists comprising movie or movie-clips, etc.
- playlists i.e. a second set of playlists
- these (said second set of playlists) may have been obtained by different users (first case), which is the reason for step 100 where playlists belonging to a given single user (i.e. a first set of playlists) is determined. If only a single user has obtained playlists (second case), said first and second set of playlists will be equal and step 100 is not necessary.
- step 100 the issue of obtaining playlists of a particular user is resolved in both cases.
- the media device will search for a first set of playlists among said second set of playlists.
- said first set of playlists belongs only to the particular user.
- Said first set of playlists can be isolated as files in and from one or more specified user directories, i.e. these files (playlists) are tagged, have a property (of the user) and/or have other identifying information indicating said particular user only.
- said first set of playlists will be a subset of said second set of playlists, in all cases, said first set of playlists will only belong to the particular user.
- step 100 is not necessary, when said second set of playlists is in fact equal to said first set of playlists (the second case), i.e. when said sets of playlists belong to the same and only creator, owner or user.
- said first set of playlists is equal to the playlists stored on the media device, thus there is no need to deal with different sets.
- the method proceeds to step 200.
- step 200 said first set of playlists is analyzed.
- the analysis can be performed in various ways as described hereinafter. Generally, whether a user likes a playlist depends on
- playlist features can be constructed by expressing properties of the whole list rather than on an individual song. For example:
- transition features can be constructed, expressing properties of the song transitions that occur in the playlist(s). For example, for the transition between song 1 and song 2:
- the result of the analysis can result in various parameters derived from playlists, i.e. tempo variance, number of different artists, relative tempo difference, one or more preferred genres, number of genre changes, a particular genre change (between two songs) being true, the genre change (between two other songs) being false, and the number of true and false genre changes between songs.
- step 300 the user profile is generated. It is based on said analyzed first set of playlists and their actual application, i.e. actual use.
- the generation of the user profile can be performed in various ways as described hereinafter.
- a user's preference (appreciation) for a playlist or playlists can be expressed in terms of song features, playlist features and transition features.
- a user profile preferably comprises examples of songs, transitions and playlists the user likes or dislikes and is therefore composed of these in the generation in this step of the method.
- An example either falls in the preference class "+" (i.e. like) or in the preference class "-" (i.e. dislike).
- a preference range could be used, for example on a 1 to 5 scale, where 1 means 'dislike very much' and 5 means 'like very much'.
- the preference examples are obtained from the edit and playback actions the user performs or performed on his playlists, i.e. said first set of playlists and its actual application during use.
- the application of a playlist can be skipping of a certain song when listening to the playlist whereby the user in fact generates a negative song example (dislike of this certain song), which is added to his user profile.
- Positive examples are obtained from playlists created manually by the user. These provide examples of songs and transitions that are liked and the level of variation that is preferred by the user.
- the user profile may thus comprise three collections: a collection of songs the user likes or dislikes, a collection of transitions the user likes or dislikes, and a collection of playlists the user likes or dislikes.
- Timestamps are preferably added to be able to remove preference examples eventually, as people's music preferences may change over time. Also, the timestamp can be used to weight examples in preference prediction, giving older examples a lower weight, giving newer examples a higher weight, etc.
- a fragment of the collection of song examples could be like this: Song-id Preference class Timestamp 256 + (like) 02-03-2003, 12:10
- the user's preferences can be expressed in terms of these features (generalization) and a preference prediction for a new playlist can be made.
- characteristics of the preference classes can be found, for example by determining statistics such as the following.
- the user profile comprises counts, sums, etc. and/or percentages of categorical song metadata of playlists, and means and/or variances of numerical song metadata of playlists.
- a probabilistic approach may be used instead or in connection with the above, where the feature values of the playlist under evaluation are compared to feature values that occur in the example collections. For example, assume that all positive song examples in the user profile correspond to songs released in the 1980s. Then, if a song in a new playlist has 1958 as release year, it is very unlikely that this song will be preferred, considering this feature. A song from 1975 would be more likely and a song from 1985 would be very likely.
- Preference probabilities can be determined for all features of all songs and transitions in a playlist, as well as for the playlist features.
- a (e.g. weighted) product of all these probabilities yields an overall probability of the playlist being preferred by the user. This probability can be used as a preference prediction on a 0 to 1 scale.
- Bayesian analysis and recommendation may be used. Bayesian analysis/logic relates to using previous probabilities/outcome to (better) predict future probabilities/outcome.
- other (non-probabilistic) approaches to create preference predictions for playlists based on feature values found in the example collections are also possible. Also, various choices can be made for the features that are included.
- playlists comprising videos, video clips or other playable content items
- the user profile may as well be based on an analysis of playlists comprising an ordered list of videos (video clips or other playable content items) as well with a subsequent generation of a user profile (regarding videos, etc.).
- the user profile is established and can then be applied as a quick functionality item (in said media device) to its user to select or to recommend content items (if available) of preferred taste to him or her.
- the user profile then relieves him of the task of selecting appropriate content items from a huge amount of content available, e.g. on and from the Internet, previously stored on his media device, from a computer-readable medium, such as a CD, a DVD, etc.
- content items may be recommended on the basis of the automatically generated user profile, when available content items closely match what is recommended from the user profile, e.g. the same or most similar content items, e.g. having the same or most similar genre, tempo, positive preference class, etc. should then be recommended when available on and from said media device.
- the method may additionally comprise step 400.
- step 400 recommended playlists are generated on the basis of said user profile. As described previously, said characteristics form a condensed user profile.
- This can subsequently be used according to the present invention to predict the user's preference for new playlists and to generate new recommended playlists.
- tempo variance tempo variance
- relative tempo variance mean values
- standard deviation can be applied to construct or generate one or more recommended playlists from the user-generated profile of step 300. Consequently, the newly generated playlists may have the same structure as the playlists referred to in steps 100 through 300. In this way, variety and coherence can be taken into account.
