arXiv:2606. 13858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recommendation systems are essential in modern music streaming platforms due to the vast amount of available content.
arXiv:2606. 00125v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music recommendation systems typically treat songs as opaque tokens, relying on collaborative interaction histories which overlooks semantic or acoustic content.
arXiv:2609.23877v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern music streaming platforms face a persistent tradeoff: exploiting familiar content versus driving the exploration of novel items. While users fre...
arXiv:2605. 03395v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Music popularity prediction has attracted growing research interest, with relevance to artists, platforms, and recommendation systems.
The paper introduces SARA, an industrial framework that scales articulated user rationales (AURs) for recommendation systems. It curates a high‑quality AUR dataset from 240 M users, trains a 7B‑parameter MLLM (SARA‑7B) to generate rationales for millions of authors, and integrates these generated rationales into a production ranking model (SARA‑Ranker). Offline and online experiments demonstrate that the system produces more specific, polarity‑consistent rationales and improves user engagement while reducing negative feedback.
arXiv:2607. 06929v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Music aesthetic assessment is a challenging yet underexplored problem, requiring models to capture fine-grained, multi-dimensional human perceptual judgments.
arXiv:2607. 03296v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Crossmodal correspondences between sound and taste are well established in psychology and neuroscience, but largely absent from content-based multimedia retrieval.
MUUNRiver-Bench is a diagnostic benchmark for music retrieval that uses natural‑language instructions to define relevance for reference‑audio queries. It contains 3,440 tracks across 13 genres and 116 sub‑genres and covers seven tasks such as similar‑music, style‑preserving lyric‑rewriting, cover, and segment retrieval. Experiments with six models in eight configurations show that acoustic encoders favor local identity while text‑aligned encoders favor semantic relations, and that instruction‑aware and audio‑text fusion systems do not consistently outperform their backbones.

arXiv:2606. 10010v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Evaluating text-to-music (TTM) systems remains expensive because music impression (MI) and text alignment (TA) scores rely on human mean opinion scores (MOS).
CAR A is a recommendation framework that treats recommendation as a structured decision‑making process. It separates recommendation into two stages: candidate filtering, which narrows the search space using coarse preference constraints, and dual‑perspective decision modeling, which captures decisions through affective and rational judgments. A boundary‑aware KTO strategy is introduced to prioritize instructions that the model can solve occasionally but not consistently, thereby enriching preference signals. Experiments on three Amazon Reviews domains show CAR A outperforms baselines, achieving up to a 10.15% relative improvement on most metrics.
arXiv:2608. 13990v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Driven by the attention economy, short-video Recommender Systems (RSs) are primarily optimized to maximize user engagement by promoting videos that capture attention within seconds.
