Thesis Overview

The project titled "Development of a Music Recommendation System Using Machine Learning Algorithms" aims to explore the application of machine learning algorithms in the field of music recommendation systems. In recent years, the growth of digital music platforms has led to an overwhelming amount of music content available to users. This abundance of choices makes it challenging for users to discover new music that aligns with their preferences. To address this issue, the project focuses on designing and implementing a music recommendation system that leverages machine learning techniques to provide personalized music recommendations to users. The research will begin with a comprehensive review of existing literature on music recommendation systems, machine learning algorithms, and their applications in the music industry. This literature review will provide a solid foundation for understanding the current state-of-the-art techniques and methodologies used in developing music recommendation systems. Following the literature review, the project will delve into the research methodology, which will involve data collection, preprocessing, feature extraction, algorithm selection, model training, and evaluation. The selection of appropriate machine learning algorithms, such as collaborative filtering, content-based filtering, and hybrid approaches, will be crucial in developing an effective music recommendation system. The core of the project will focus on the development and implementation of the music recommendation system. This will involve building a robust system architecture, integrating the selected machine learning algorithms, and optimizing the system for scalability and performance. The system will be designed to analyze user preferences, music attributes, listening behavior, and other relevant data to generate accurate and personalized music recommendations. The project will then proceed to the discussion of findings, where the performance of the developed music recommendation system will be evaluated based on metrics such as accuracy, diversity, novelty, and user satisfaction. The results of the evaluation will be analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the system in providing high-quality music recommendations to users. In conclusion, the project will summarize the key findings, contributions, and implications of developing a music recommendation system using machine learning algorithms. The research aims to advance the field of music recommendation systems by demonstrating the potential of machine learning techniques in enhancing user experience and engagement in music discovery. Overall, this project seeks to provide valuable insights and practical solutions for improving music recommendation services in the digital music landscape.
