Hello my name is Leonardo Parada and soon will be acoustic engineer. I am searching one tesis theme
and maybe I will work some related in acoustics patterns recognitions. I have found this information about your project
http://www.tendencias21.net/Crean-un-nuevo-sistema-de-recomendacion-de-musica-digital_a3776.html
and would like to know more about this. I have checked your facebook application and I can note that you are trying get information based on humans answers
.
My questions is
does “Herd-it” consider some acoustics analysis for find relations between music?

Hi Leonardo,
The information contributed by Herd It players is being used to develop machines that can understand music. For example, when we find 50 songs that Herd It players agree are “romantic”, our machine algorithms listen to these songs, discover the romantic elements that they have in common and learn to generalize these features to determine the “romantic-ness” of millions of new songs.
You can see this in action at the Herd It Music Discovery engine. Our algorithms are still learning but, as more people play Herd It, the results get better. Sign up to try it out now!

You can learn more about the science behind all this by checking out the papers on my academic web site:
