Harnessing High-Level Song Descriptors towards Natural Language-Based Music Recommendation

Elena V. Epure, Gabriel Meseguer-Brocal, Darius Afchar +1

Recommender systems relying on Language Models (LMs) have gained popularity in assisting users to navigate large catalogs. LMs often exploit item high-level descriptors, i.e. categ…

On the Consistency of Average Embeddings for Item Recommendation

Walid Bendada, Guillaume Salha-Galvan, Romain Hennequin +2

A prevalent practice in recommender systems consists in averaging item embeddings to represent users or higher-level concepts in the same embedding space. This paper investigates t…
