Build a smart, data-powered music recommendation system from the ground up. You’ll use Python, Pandas, and scikit-learn to analyze track metadata, log user sessions, and generate personalized song suggestions using similarity scoring and predictive models.
Get started by building the backbone of your smart music player! You'll set up a Flask backend, load your music library from a JSON file using Pandas, and create API endpoints to access track data. Then, you'll implement a system to log what users listen to, paving the way for personalized recommendations.
Embedding-Based Recommendation with Similarity Scoring
4 lessons
16 practices
Dive into the world of smart recommendations! You'll learn to transform music track features like genre, mood, and tempo into numerical vectors (embeddings). Then, you'll create user profiles based on their listening history and use cosine similarity to find and suggest new tracks they might love. You'll also explore clustering techniques to group similar songs.
Take your recommendation engine to the next level with supervised machine learning! You'll learn how to prepare training data from user listening logs, train a classification model (like Logistic Regression) to predict track affinity, and use these predictions to offer even more personalized music suggestions.

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
