the Volume on Music Discovery
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rovi Corporation (NASDAQ: ROVI) today introduced the Rovi Music
Discovery Platform, a new solution designed to deliver a more
personalized music experience for consumers to connect them to their
favorite artists. Comprised of three industry-leading Rovi products –
Search, Recommendations, and Conversation Services – Rovi Music
Discovery is an advanced solution that understands natural,
conversational speech to power fast, accurate search capabilities and
provide results that are tailored to the listener’s individual tastes.
Built on Rovi’s robust entertainment Knowledge Graph with metadata
covering more than three million album releases and 30 million tracks
worldwide, Rovi Music Discovery takes content, context, and user
behavior into account to provide personalized and contextually relevant
results.
“In today’s pivotal age of streaming, the abundance of music content
makes it increasingly important for our customers to differentiate their
offerings and deliver an outstanding discovery experience to their
users,” said Michael Hawkey, senior vice president, discovery, Rovi.
“Music providers are looking for the best way to connect listeners to
the music they love. They also want to introduce consumers to new
favorites based on their listening habits, current mood, and evolving
tastes, as well as expose them to what is popular or trending. With Rovi
Music Discovery, listeners can have a more engaging and satisfying
experience with a wealth of personalized entertainment choices.”
The Rovi Music Discovery Platform is a powerful combination of Rovi
Search, Recommendations, and Conversation Services for the music market,
which enables Rovi customers to give listeners instant access to songs,
albums, suggested tracks, playlists, and artist information. Powered by
the dynamic Rovi Knowledge Graph, the platform uses a unique blend of
hybrid algorithms and Rovi entertainment metadata to deliver
high-quality descriptive results based on a deep understanding of how
people search for content, their consumption history, and profile
information, as well as popularity and relevance. Streamlined
recommendations help break down the barrier of choice so listeners can
discover new tracks in their favorite genres.
Further, the inclusion of Rovi Conversation Services provides music
lovers with a fluent, error-tolerant voice solution for music discovery.
This provides a new way for subscribers to easily find their favorite
artists and tracks and discover new music by speaking in a natural,
free-flowing way. Rovi achieves this through predictive semantic
intelligence and a deep understating of entertainment within a
