Pronounced as "musician", the musicnn library contains a set of pre-trained musically motivated convolutional neural networks for music audio tagging: https://github.com/jordipons/musicnn. This repository also includes some pre-trained vgg-like baselines. These models can be used as out-of-the-box music audio taggers, as music feature extractors, or as pre-trained models for transfer learning. We also provide the code to train the aforementioned models: https://github.com/jordipons/musicnn-training. This framework also allows implementing novel models. For example, a musically motivated convolutional neural network with an attention-based output layer (instead of the temporal pooling layer) can achieve state-of-the-art results for music audio tagging: 90.77 ROC-AUC / 38.61 PR-AUC on the MagnaTagATune dataset --- and 88.81 ROC-AUC / 31.51 PR-AUC on the Million Song Dataset.

  1. Multimodal Music Recommendation System using LLMs

    cs.IR 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Extending E4SRec with multimodal content features on LastFM-1K yields up to 95% Recall and 79% NDCG gains over ID-only baselines, though naive fusion does not always improve results.

  2. Adopting State-of-the-Art Pretrained Audio Representations for Music Recommender Systems

    cs.IR 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Pretrained audio models show large performance gaps between standard MIR tasks and music recommendation in both hot and cold-start settings.
