2.4.2 Social Tags<br />
Very recently, the increasing number of <strong>music</strong>al <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> on the Web has stimulated great<br />
interest in analyzing <strong>and</strong> exploiting <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> in MIR. Geleijnse et al. (2007) investigated <strong>social</strong><br />
<strong>tags</strong> associated with 224 artists <strong>and</strong> their famous tracks on last.fm <strong>and</strong> used the <strong>tags</strong> to create a<br />
ground truth set of artist similarity. Levy <strong>and</strong> S<strong>and</strong>ler (2007) analyzed track <strong>tags</strong> published on<br />
last.fm <strong>and</strong> mystr<strong>and</strong>s.com <strong>and</strong> concluded <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> were effective in capturing <strong>music</strong><br />
similarity. Using <strong>tags</strong> on artist, album <strong>and</strong> tracks provided by last.fm, Hu et al. (2007a) derived a<br />
set of <strong>music</strong> <strong>mood</strong> categories as well as a ground truth track set corresponding to these<br />
categories. Symeonidis, Rux<strong>and</strong>a, Nanopoulos, <strong>and</strong> Manolopoulos (2008) again exploited last.fm<br />
<strong>tags</strong>, but considered one more dimension – the users, for personalized <strong>music</strong> recommendations.<br />
Other research attempted to link <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> to <strong>audio</strong> content. Eck, Bertin-Mahieux, <strong>and</strong><br />
Lamere (2007) proposed a method of predicting <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> from <strong>audio</strong> input <strong>using</strong> supervised<br />
learning. Their dataset was <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> applied to nearly 100,000 artists obtained from last.fm.<br />
Indeed, <strong>social</strong> <strong>tags</strong> have become so popular in the MIR community that since 2008, the MIREX<br />
has added a new task, Audio Tag Classification 5 , which compares various systems with regard to<br />
the abilities of associating 10-second <strong>audio</strong> clips of <strong>music</strong> with <strong>tags</strong> collected from the<br />
MajorMiner 6 game (M<strong>and</strong>el & Ellis, 2007).<br />
