Abstract

A music recommendation method and a computer readable recording medium storing a computer program performing the method are provided. In the music recommendation method, music items and rating data matrix comprising ratings and user IDs are first provided. Then, the ratings of each music item are classified into positive ratings and negative ratings. Thereafter, a pre-processing phase comprising a frame-based clustering step and a sequence-based clustering step is performed to transform the music items into perceptual patterns. Then, a prediction phase is performed to determine an interest value of a plurality of target music items for an active user. Thereafter, the target music items arranged into a music recommendation list in accordance with the first interest value and the second interest values, wherein the music recommendation list is a reference for the active user to select one of the target items.
