Abstract

Spectral similarity measures are considered among the best-performing audio-based music similarity measures. However, they tend to produce hubs, i.e., songs measured closely to many other songs, to which they have no perceptual similarity. In this paper, we define a novel way to measure the hubness of songs. Based on network analysis methods, we propose a hubness score that is computed by analyzing the interaction of songs in the similarity space. We experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
