LyRec

An experiment to see similar songs based on lyrics and explore how it performs as a recommendation engine.

Check out our Web App! It let's you discover similar songs to other songs (by lyrics) or see similar lyrics to any text. Powered by BERT
Our Slide Deck. Find out more about how this was made and the answer to the question no one was asking: How good is a recommender engine that recommend songs only based on lyrics.
