6.4 Experimental Results
143
We investigate whether our method is well suited to label the 224 artists and com-
pare the results with the tags as applied by the
Last.fm users.
The previous experiments showed that
PM
was the most successful alterna-
tive to identify artist similarities, while
DM
outperformed
PM
with respect to the
labeling of artists with genre names. We hence use
DM
to find the co-occurren-
ces between artist names and tags and reuse the results from
PM
to identify the
artist similarities. For fairness, the pages from
Last.fm and Audiocrobbler.com are
excluded from the search results.
Per artist in the test set, an average of 79 tags was identified using
DM
. All
tags in the test set were linked to at least one artist, however not for all tag/artist
combinations a score could be identified, as not all artists are related to one another.
We compare the computed ranking of the tags for the artists with a normalized
ranking as identified by the
Last.fm users as described in Section 6.3. For instance,
the terms
’Rocker’ and ’rock’ have the same normalized form.
We evaluate the computed rankings for the different values of
w as follows.
We first evaluate the precision and recall for the highest ranked tags and secondly
compute Spearman’s rank correlation between the computed ranking and the one
from
Last.fm.
