The student project group „The Reactive Jukebox“ (supervised by D. Jannach and I. Vatolkin) will start in summer term 2017.
The goal of the project is to develop an application for music recommendation with an interactive interface to listener requests. Such interaction should be done in an intuitive and user-friendly way, for instance providing feeback in a spoken language or describing music with the help of interpretable semantic features („please recommend me faster songs with more distorted guitars and more vocal segments“). For the indexing of music, it is planned to integrate features of different sources, like community tags, meta data, audio descriptors, or symbolic characteristics.
