Abstract

A method for music playlist generation, using assimilated Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) in self organizing maps (SOMs) is presented. Traditionally, the neurons in a SOM are represented by vectors, but in this paper we propose to use GMMs instead. To this end, we introduce a method to adapt a GMM such that its distance to a second GMM decreases at a controllable rate. Self organization is demonstrated using a small music database and a music classification task.
