Personalized Retrieval and Browsing of Classical Music and Supporting Multimedia Material

Abstract

This paper reports on three demonstrators developed to provide personalized, enhanced experiences of classical music, within the EU FP7 project Performances as Highly Enriched and Interactive Concert experiences (PHENICX)1: (i) an interface for accessing supplemental multimodal material about music items, (ii) a recommender system for visualizations of classical music, and (iii) a recommender sys- Tem for tagging. The personalization in all three demos is achieved through modeling users' personality and musical sophistication. The links to the web interfaces are provided as well as the outcomes of quantitative and qualitative evaluations.
