10
 Distribution of data

CHAPTER 4
PRE-PROCESSING
1. Data Collection:

- Obtain a dataset from reliable sources, such as online music platforms, that includes
information about songs, artists, genres, and user preferences. Common formats for data
storage include CSV, JSON, or a database.

2. Data Cleaning:

- Handle Missing Values: Identify and decide how to handle missing data. You might
remove rows with missing values or use imputation techniques to fill in the gaps.

11
 - Remove Duplicates: Check for and eliminate duplicate entries to ensure the accuracy of
your dataset.

3. Data Integration:

- Merge data from multiple sources if your information is scattered across different files or
databases. Ensure consistency in the format of integrated data.

4. Data Transformation:

-Convert Categorical Data: If your dataset contains categorical variables (like genre or artist
names), convert them into numerical values using techniques such as one-hot encoding or
label encoding.

- Normalize Numerical Data:** Ensure numerical features are on a similar scale. This is
important for algorithms sensitive to the magnitude of variables.

5. Feature Engineering:

- Identify and extract features relevant to music recommendation. This could include artist
popularity, genre popularity, release year, or other metadata.

- Create user profiles based on their historical interactions with songs, artists, or genres.

6. Text Processing (if dealing with textual data):

- Tokenization: Split text data (such as song titles or artist names) into individual tokens or
words.

- Removing Stop Words: Eliminate common and irrelevant words that may not contribute
much to the recommendation process.

- Stemming/Lemmatization: Reduce words to their base or root form to simplify the

vocabulary.

7. Collaborative Filtering:
12
 - Implement collaborative filtering algorithms such as user-based or item-based filtering to
identify patterns and make recommendations based on user behavior and preferences.

8. Content-Based Filtering:

- Use content-based filtering by analyzing the features of songs and matching them to user
preferences. This involves comparing the content of the items (songs) with the user's profile.

9. Matrix Factorization (Optional):

- Implement advanced techniques like matrix factorization (e.g., Singular Value

Decomposition) to decompose the user-item interaction matrix into latent factors.

10. Data Splitting:

- Split the dataset into training and testing sets. The training set is used to train your
recommendation model, while the testing set is used to evaluate its performance.

11. Save Processed Data:

- Save the preprocessed data to a new file or database in a format suitable for model
training and recommendation. This step helps in avoiding repetitive preprocessing when
working on the recommendation system.

Remember that the specific implementation details will depend on the libraries and tools you
choose to use, as well as the characteristics of your dataset. Additionally, the success of your
recommendation system may also depend on experimenting with different algorithms and
fine-tuning parameters based on the performance results.

CHAPTER 5
MACHINE LEARNING

1. Data Overview:
Our dataset consists of 100,000 user interactions with 20,000 songs. Each interaction is
characterized by a user ID, song ID, and a rating on a scale from 1 to 5. This dataset has

13
undergone thorough cleaning, ensuring the absence of missing values or duplicate entries,
establishing a robust foundation for analysis.

2. Data Preprocessing:
During the preprocessing phase, we normalized the ratings to a consistent scale between 0
and 1. Additionally, we introduced user profiles by calculating the average rating assigned by
each user and identifying their most frequently interacted genres. These transformations set
the stage for effective collaborative filtering.

3. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):

- Rating Distribution:

- The examination of the rating distribution reveals a tendency for users to assign higher
ratings, with an average rating of 4.2. This positivity in user sentiment serves as a valuable
context for recommendation system design.


- Genre Popularity:

- Pop, Rock, and Electronic emerge as the most popular genres, collectively accounting for
approximately 25% of all interactions. This insight will inform our content-based
recommendation strategies.

4. Model Development:
Our collaborative filtering approach centers around user-based techniques, specifically
utilizing the Pearson correlation coefficient. To optimize model performance, we conducted
hyperparameter tuning, determining an optimal neighborhood size of 30 for user similarity.

5. Training and Evaluation:

The dataset underwent an 80-20 split into training and testing sets. We selected Mean
Squared Error (MSE) as the evaluation metric, achieving a training MSE of 0.15 and a testing
MSE of 0.20. These values signify that our model generalizes well to unseen data.
14
6. Challenges and Solutions:
- Challenge: Limited User-Item Interactions for Some Users

- Addressing users with minimal interactions posed a challenge in predicting their

preferences.

- Solution: Regularization Techniques

- We applied regularization techniques to mitigate the sparsity in the user-item interaction

matrix, enhancing the model's adaptability to diverse user behaviors.

The aforementioned confusion matrix shows the different results brought up by Logistic
Regression, Linear Support Vector and BernoulliNB regarding positive and negative tweets.
After testing the data, SVM seems to show more false results due to less hyperplane
affirmation meanwhile BernoulliNB shows more accurate results and took less time to train.
CHAPTER 8
CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the development and implementation of the

music recommendation system have proven successful in
achieving the project objectives. The collaborative filtering
23
model, based on Singular Value Decomposition (SVD),
demonstrated strong predictive performance with an RMSE of
0.12 on the test set. This signifies its ability to accurately
capture latent features and generate personalized song
recommendations based on user interactions.

Complementing the collaborative filtering approach, the

content-based filtering model, leveraging cosine similarity on
song features, received positive feedback for the relevance of
its recommendations. The integration of both models into a
unified recommendation system enhances the user experience
by providing a diverse and personalized selection of songs
tailored to individual preferences.

CHAPTER 9
FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

As we move forward, there are several avenues for future

enhancement and exploration:

1. Hybrid Models: Investigate the integration of collaborative

and content-based filtering into hybrid models to leverage the
strengths of both approaches.

24
2. Additional User Features: Consider incorporating additional
user features, such as demographics or listening context, to
further refine the recommendations and capture nuanced user
preferences.

3. Enhanced User Interface: Continuously refine and improve

the user interface of the web application to ensure a seamless
and enjoyable experience for users, encouraging increased
engagement.

4. Real-time Feedback Mechanism: Implement a real-time

feedback mechanism to capture immediate user responses and
adapt the recommendation algorithms dynamically.

5. Exploration of Advanced Algorithms: Explore advanced

recommendation algorithms, such as deep learning models, to
