🎵 Spotify Music Recommendation System

Python scikit-learn License

A machine learning-based music recommendation system implementing multiple algorithms for personalized music discovery using Spotify's audio features.

🎯 Overview

This system combines content-based filtering, matrix factorization, and collaborative filtering to provide personalized music recommendations. It handles cold start problems and processes implicit feedback signals.

✨ Features

  • Content-Based Filtering: Recommends music based on audio feature similarity
  • NMF Matrix Factorization: Discovers latent user preferences and music patterns
  • Collaborative Filtering: User-based recommendations from similar listeners
  • Hybrid Approach: Combines multiple methods for better accuracy
  • Cold Start Handling: Recommendations for new users and tracks
  • Genre Classification: Automatic music genre prediction

📊 Dataset

  • 114,000 tracks with audio features (danceability, energy, valence, etc.)
  • 114 unique genres across multiple music categories
  • Implicit feedback simulation based on popularity and user preferences

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/spotify-recommendation-system.git
cd spotify-recommendation-system
pip install pandas numpy scikit-learn matplotlib seaborn scipy

Usage

from recommendation_system import HybridRecommender

# Initialize and train
recommender = HybridRecommender()
recommender.fit(interaction_matrix, track_features)

# Get recommendations
recommendations = recommender.recommend(user_id='user_123', n_recommendations=10)

# Handle new users
new_user_recs = recommender.recommend(preferred_genres=['rock', 'pop'], n_recommendations=5)

📈 Performance

Model Precision@5 Recall@5 F1@5
Content-Based 0.234 0.187 0.208
NMF 0.267 0.213 0.237
Collaborative Filtering 0.189 0.245 0.214
Hybrid System 0.312 0.278 0.294

🔬 Technical Implementation

Algorithms Used

  • NMF: Non-negative Matrix Factorization with component optimization
  • Cosine Similarity: For content-based audio feature matching
  • User-Based CF: Collaborative filtering with implicit feedback
  • Weighted Hybrid: Combines all methods with optimized weights

Key Parameters

# Hybrid weights
nmf_weight = 0.4
cf_weight = 0.3  
content_weight = 0.2
popularity_weight = 0.1

🎵 Results

  • Recommendation Speed: < 100ms per user
  • Genre Diversity: 0.78 (balanced variety)
  • Cold Start Performance: 70% of warm start accuracy
  • Memory Usage: ~2GB for 50K tracks

📝 Dataset Files
