How QQ Music Recommendation System Understands Your Preferences

The QQ Music recommendation system tackles cold‑start by first mixing Chinese and English tracks, then builds a six‑dimensional user profile (content, social, scenario, crowd, time, blacklist) and tags songs with six attributes, using content‑based, collaborative, matrix‑factorization and neural‑network models plus implicit co‑listening links, while acknowledging that final wisdom still comes from human listeners.
