Spotify Technology S.A.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SELECTING MEDIA CONTENT

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer programs for generating a playlist of media content items without explicit content. A vector space is created that represents explicit and non-explicit tracks in the same playlists created by other users and then tracks are filtered based on cosine distance between the "seed tracks" and all the tracks in the aforementioned playlist. The explicit tracks are filtered out, and tracks are sorted based on the affinity of the user to the artist.
