    Content-Based Recommendations for Radio Stations with Deep Learned Audio Fingerprints

    Herausgeber et al. (Hrsg.): Informatik 2020, Lecture Notes in Informatics (LNI), Gesellschaft für Informatik, Bonn 2020 1 Content-based Recommendations for Radio Stations with Deep Learned Audio Fingerprints Stefan Langer ,1 Liza Obermeier ,2 André Ebert ,3 Markus Friedrich ,4 Emma Munisamy ,5 Claudia Linnhoff-Popien 6 Abstract: The world of linear radio broadcasting is characterized by a wide variety of stations and played content. That is why finding stations playing the preferred content is a tough task for a potential listener, especially due to the overwhelming number of offered choices. Here, recommender systems usually step in but existing content-based approaches rely on metadata and thus are constrained by the available data quality. Other approaches leverage user behavior data and thus do not exploit any domain-specific knowledge and are furthermore disadvantageous regarding privacy concerns. Therefore, we propose a new pipeline for the generation of audio-based radio station fingerprints relying on audio stream crawling and a Deep Autoencoder. We show that the proposed fingerprints are especially useful for characterizing radio stations by their audio content and thus are an excellent representation for meaningful and reliable radio station recommendations. Furthermore, the proposed modules are part of the HRADIO Communication Platform, which enables hybrid radio features to radio stations. It is released with a flexible open source license and enables especially small- and medium-sized businesses, to provide customized and high quality radio services to potential listeners. Keywords: Hybrid Radio, Multimedia Services, Recommender Systems, Unsupervised Learning, Deep Audio Fingerprints, Deep Learning 1 Introduction Despite emerging competition from on-demand content services, linear radio broadcasting still remains one of the most popular entertainment and information media in Europe.

Jornalista responsável: Anna Carolina Cortez Diagramação e tratamento: Fábio Vantini Direção de Arte - Big Blue Licenses - Monica Arruda e Carlos Ameni Impressão:Type Brasil INTRODUÇÃO Bad Boy, a primeira em lutas! A Bad Boy chegou ao Brasil em 1992 através de Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso, um casal de surfistas que possuía uma marca de surf, a ST COMP. A Bad Boy se tornou referência nacional. Patrocinou atletas e eventos, formou campeões e apoiou as lutas até mesmo quando os olhos da população estavam voltados para outras modalidades de esporte. E, no momento em que os holofotes se voltam para os ringues e mostram ao mundo um pouco mais sobre as artes marciais, a Bad Boy mostra que sempre esteve presente nos tatames, nos ringues e na vida dos atletas. Nas páginas a seguir apresentamos um pouco do que fez a Bad Boy se tornar a “Imagem da Vitória, a Marca do Guerreiro”. 1982 O INÍCIO A Bad Boy surgiu no início dos anos 80, em San Diego, Califórnia como uma marca local de surf, skate e motorsports, patrocinando atletas com personalidade forte e de atitude como o Havaiano Johnny Boy Gomes. Dez anos depois da criação da Bad Boy, dois novos personagens entraram em cena: Marco Antônio Merhej e Nair Afonso. Para promover a ST Comp, loja de surf da qual eram donos, eles realizavam campeonatos de surf no Brasil e viajavam para todos os cantos do mundo para fazer pesquisas de mercado.
