Abstract
This paper provides a thorough examination of the utilisation of deep learning in music recommendation systems, which have transformed consumer discovery and engagement with music on streaming platforms. Scalability challenges and the cold-start problem are among the constraints that conventional recommendation methods, such as content-based filtering and collaborative filtering, encounter, which hinder their ability to deliver personalised recommendations that are effective. The processing of multi-modal and sequential data is significantly improved by deep learning methodologies, including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Autoencoders. This results in more precise and contextually pertinent music recommendations. Moreover, hybrid models that amalgamate deep learning with conventional techniques augment recommendation precision by synthesising user interaction data with acoustic characteristics. This paper examines essential performance metrics employed in the assessment of music recommendation systems, including precision, recall, F1-score, and Mean Reciprocal Rank (MRR). It also tackles issues including computational complexity, bias, and ethical dilemmas pertaining to data privacy.
