Study on Music Similarity Computation for Music Recommendation and Visualization

Music similarity is utilized not only for disclosing the likeliness between two music clips, but also for finding a model of music library. Using the model, recommendation and visualization is possible. We investigated papers related to music similarity. With the development of deep learning, many methods computing music similarity have been tried. A clear definition of music similarity does not exist. Thus, methods should be studied dividing the cases. According to the purpose, 3 viewpoints are considered in this paper. Moreover, similarity computation methods are categorized into 3 categories.
