About
Abelardo Riojas, the Creator of Natural Language Playlist
Why did you make this?
If there's anything I want to do with my career, it's connect people to new, awesome music. I'm a 23 year old Data Science grad student and "chronically online music nerd" obssessed with musical metadata and this website is my way of showing the world what I am capable of. Finding new music is hard, and I want to make the process easy and exciting for people.
Natural Language Playlist explores the rich and complex relationship between language and music and uses Transformer language models to build playlists. Music recommendation is something that is “locked behind closed doors” for lack of a better term. You have to wait a week for your songs, find the right song radio, or hope that an algorithm spits out what you’re looking for. By giving you direct query access to intelligent music recommendations, I hope that I can broaden your musical horizons and get you bumping to some good tunes.
If you're looking to support me and this project, I have applied for an internship at Spotify and I'm looking to make some noise about that to help me stand out. A tweet @LifeAtSpotify about how awesome I am and how they should totally hire me would be great.
Something like:
@LifeAtSpotify Abelardo Riojas is a Data Science wizard who needs to intern for you guys! Hire him!
Would be great! Thank you. 😌
