I asked for "music that would convince anyone that the cello is three best instrument" and it couldn't be further from what I'd expect. Not a single song even has a cello in it. Maybe the absence use supposed to convince?

I highly recommend everyone look through the other playlists on Spotify that the account also generates. Gives you an insight into the hilarious prompts others here are using

I just took a glance and the playlists (aka prompts) are top laughter material.

Don't have instrument specific data on songs. Wish I did. Was thinking about classification algorithm on song spectrograms to do this. There's a music instrument dataset I could train on and run my songs through. Could possibly take weeks though. I'll investigate.

Honestly, I'm genuinely impressed. I even searched something that I would think would trip it up, "transgirl puppycore", and it managed to not only give several songs that are extremely on-point but likewise has a bunch of new and interesting music I never would have discovered otherwise. I genuinely can see this being an extremely useful tool for content discovery; and I really hope the major players will implement…

I had more limited success :(

Tried to use it to extend my Funky Christmas playlist (exemplars: James Brown’s “Soulful Christmas”, The Band’s “Christmas Must Be Tonight”, any “Lean On Me” but mine is by Music Travel Love, Train’s “Christmas Island”, Pomplamoose’s take on “Here we come a-caroling”, Twin Bandit’s “Rise Up Shepherd”)... So like I am not expecting it to get the full genre correct, because the genre is Christmas songs that can simultaneously sit in the background AND surprise you, it's Pat Monahan and he's singing a Christmas song and it's about how he's gonna do Christmas in a resort in Hawaii this year because eff the snow.

Problem is that 90% of these results are not even debatably Christmas songs?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

TLDR: Lots of musical metadata converted into paragraphs and the SentenceTransformers Retrieve & Re-Rank Pipeline.( https://www.sbert.net/index.html ) The sentence embeddings are calculated using a Bidirectional Encoder Representation Transformer (BERT) model. There's a pre-trained model for this network trained on over 1 billion sentences from the internet that is publicly available, (thanks Microsoft) . The model t…

Incredible work, and great explanation, thank you. Could you comment more on the cost of running this (e.g. per query or per hour, or however it's set up)? Where are you running the model from? Also, could you provide more details on the cross encoder used for reranking? Btw, if you already have all these song embeddings, it would be very interesting to be able to pick a song, and get all the similar ones in a playli…

Having worked with the same tech, I'd assume this is pretty inexpensive both to train and run. Probably in the low 1000s (maybe even mid 100s?) to train. knn search on 35k entries is pretty simple. The most expensive is probably the cross encoder (both to train and to run). Would also be interested to know

Fun to play with, good job! I wonder if the exact opposite exist: give it a playlist, and it'll give you some kind of description for it. I always have a hard time answering "What kind of music do you listen to?", maybe AI could help.

This is great. I was a big fan of the beats music service's feature that let you 'mad lib' a sentence like "I am [singing along] [with my bff] [in the car] to [pop music]" and was always let down nothing similar appeared in competing services. This feels like the next step for that kind of feature. For about a year now I've been eagerly awaiting when this kind of thing will become available for streaming TV and movie…

Thank you! I'm just a guy who loves music and sharing it with people. It's been my dream to build something like that. Hope you find some good tunes with my project!

Hey! I sent you an email about a possible collaboration. Hope to hear from you :)

I removed all Christmas songs after Christmas! That's probably the issue. The majority of problems people are seeing can be fixed by expanding the dataset.
