I had a paper accepted to IJCNN (International Joint Conference on Neural Networks). Tuesday was the deadline for "camera-ready submissions". So, I was working hard on that. The paper is basically a description of everything I've been working on for my Master's thesis. It includes some preliminary results, which aren't great, but are encouraging. I'm hoping that with some parameter tweaking we'll be able to have something fairly decent.
I know you're all dying to see the paper, so here ya go: Music Recommendation and Query-by-Content Using Self-Organizing Maps. Honestly, it should be fairly understandable to the average person, so long as you gloss over some of the more detailed descriptions. So don't be too scared to look at it.
The conference is in the middle of June, in fact it is during finals for Spring Term, in Atlanta. So it will be about the last thing I will do as part of my school career (unless I submit a final paper to a conference). I don't know yet whether I will be giving a presentation or a poster, nor have they released a schedule to let me know exactly what day I'll need to be there. They seem to be a bit not-quite-on-top-of-things.
Part of the paper includes an extremely simple Music Recommendation System. You select a seed song, and it spits out a top-ten list of "similar" songs. For example, if you wanted similar music to, say, Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.2 - Allegro Moderato you'd get:
