General Description • In this project, we present Similar music artist based on their genre, ratings and Artist’s Era • We implement three steps of computation in order to obtain more detail results, as defined below: • Applying comparison between artists’ genre using distance measure(Using Jaccard’s Coefficient) • Applying user rating to artists • Applying Nearest-Neighbor search on artists’ releases album(Artist’s Era) • Yahoo! Music DB to form the base set to compare the results.
Technologies Used • We plan to use HTML,JSON, JavaScript for presenting our webpage where the final results will be shown. • Yahoo Webscope Dataset R1 Yahoo! Music User Ratings of Musical Artists, version 1.0 • Yahoo Music API and YQL (http://developer.yahoo.com/music/) • HTTP REST-based API that returns data in any format, including XML and JSON. • The Yahoo!
