Brilliant.
Through the Spotify API we are given locational and positional data on some music objects. Your proposal to structure songs as vectors opens up a lot more flexibility for storing, weighting, and manipulating that data.
The way in which the overlaps are calculated is crucial to our platform, something like feeding the dot product into a weighting matrix would leverage this structure really well.
Your proposal is very similar to how comparisons are currently computed on SameTunes. But, leveraging existing mathematical theorems and restructuring the algorithm with linear algebra in mind would help a ton with some of the noise and normalisation issues we've experienced.
I really appreciate you taking the time to draft that out!
- LolWolf 6y agoFor sure! It’s a cool product (I got two people who messaged me about it this morning, before I even saw it on hn) and it’s pretty fun. Good luck with it! :)
