    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.

    Family Christmas Concert – 21st December 2013 From the Chair... Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls: Nice to see you, to see you nice! I hope that all of you ‘Strictly’ fans have set your TV recorder for the Final! Strictly Come Dancing is fast becoming one of the current associations with Christmas and hopefully we can stir some memories of the Season through our festive music this evening. Going to the ballet has long been a popular Christmas treat. Ballets like many fairy tales, often have a sinister side to their plot, Coppelia is no exception. A young man (betrothed to another) becomes infatuated with a life-sized doll and is lured by the doll’s maker to sacrifice his spirit to enable the doll to come to life. Fortunately, he is shown his folly by his true love who dresses up as the doll and tricks the inventor. However, all eventually turns out well and ends happily ever after. Many of you will be familiar with the Nutcracker ballet. Tonight we will be playing part of The Nutcracker Suite. Tchaikovsky himself made a selection of eight of the numbers from the ballet, which he intended for concert performance. The complete Suite was featured in Walt Disney’s Fantasia. There are many other more modern traditions associated with Christmas, none more so than the Snowman by Howard Blake who incidentally celebrated his 75th birthday in October. We are delighted to welcome Stephen, Mike, Linda and Jennifer as the soloists for our performance this evening. For some, there is little else that epitomises Christmas more than the 1954 musical White Christmas with music by Irving Berlin.
