-
Data Extraction:
- Fetch detailed song information using Spotify's Web API. This involves accessing attributes such as track name, artist, duration, and audio features.
- Example:
sp = spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=SpotifyClientCredentials(client_id=os.environ["SPOTIFY_CLIENT_ID"], client_secret=os.environ["SPOTIFY_CLIENT_SECRET"]))
-
Feature Engineering:
- Select essential features for recommendation, including danceability, energy, key, loudness, mode, speechiness, acousticness, instrumentalness, liveness, valence, tempo, duration, and popularity.
- These features are crucial for understanding the musical characteristics that drive user preferences and recommendations.
-
Model Training and Recommendation:
- Utilize machine learning techniques, such as cosine similarity, to compare user-selected songs with the dataset and recommend similar tracks.
- Example:
user_selected_songs = [ {'name': 'Come As You Are', 'year': 1991}, {'name': 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', 'year': 1991}, {'name': 'Lithium', 'year': 1992} ] recommended_songs = recommend_songs(user_selected_songs, all_songs_df) print("Recommended Songs:") for song in recommended_songs: print(f"- {song[0]} ({song[1]})")
-
Model Evaluation:
- Assess the recommendation system's performance using metrics such as precision, recall, and F1-score.
- These metrics gauge how accurately the system predicts user preferences and similarity between songs.
-
Deployment:
- Deploy the recommendation system as a web application using frameworks like Flask or Django.
- This step involves integrating the recommendation model into a user-friendly interface accessible via web browsers or mobile apps.
- Example:
@app.route('/recommend', methods=['POST']) def recommend(): # Recommendation logic here return jsonify(recommended_songs)
