Music Playlist Title Generation: A Machine-Translation Approach

We propose a machine-translation approach to automatically generate a playlist title from a set of music tracks. We take a sequence of track IDs as input and a sequence of words in a playlist title as output, adapting the sequence-to-sequence framework based on Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Tra...

Summary:We propose a machine-translation approach to automatically generate a playlist title from a set of music tracks. We take a sequence of track IDs as input and a sequence of words in a playlist title as output, adapting the sequence-to-sequence framework based on Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Transformer to the music data. Considering the orderless nature of music tracks in a playlist, we propose two techniques that remove the order of the input sequence. One is data augmentation by shuffling and the other is deleting the positional encoding. We also reorganize the existing music playlist datasets to generate phrase-level playlist titles. The result shows that the Transformer models generally outperform the RNN model. Also, removing the order of input sequence improves the performance further.
