From Improved Auto-Taggers to Improved Music Similarity Measures

This paper focuses on the relation between automatic tag prediction and music similarity. Intuitively music similarity measures based on auto-tags should profit from the improvement of the quality of the underlying audio tag predictors. We present classification experiments that verify this claim. Our results suggest a straight forward way to further improve content-based music similarity measures by improving the underlying auto-taggers.
