Course 1

Foundations: Music Data and Session Tracking

4 lessons

16 practices

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.

Course 2

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.

Course 3

Learning to Predict User Preferences

4 lessons

15 practices

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.

Course 4

Building the Interactive Music Recommendation Dashboard

3 lessons

10 practices

In this final course, learners will complete the Smart Music Player by integrating a clean, interactive frontend interface and enhancing the recommendation engine with session-aware logic. This course focuses on adding backend intelligence through recent session trend analysis and dynamic context-based recommendations.
