APEX: Large-scale Multi-task Aesthetic-Informed Popularity Prediction for AI-Generated Music
TL;DR
Music popularity prediction lacks consideration of aesthetic quality, especially with the rise of AI-generated music. APEX, a large-scale multi-task learning framework, was developed to predict music popularity by integrating aesthetic features.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can leverage APEX to improve music recommendation systems by incorporating aesthetic features into their models.
Key Takeaways
- Utilize APEX for predicting music popularity based on aesthetic features.
- Incorporate aesthetic quality metrics into existing recommendation systems.
- Leverage large datasets for training models in music prediction tasks.
- Explore the impact of AI-generated music on listener preferences.
How It Works
APEX employs a multi-task learning approach, simultaneously predicting engagement metrics and aesthetic quality dimensions. It uses audio embeddings from MERT to capture the perceptual aspects of music, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of both popularity and aesthetic appeal.
