In this research, the authors propose an intelligent system that can recommend songs to user according to his choice. They predict the next song a user might prefer to listen based on their previous listening patterns, currently played songs and similar music based on music data. To calculate music similarity the authors used a Matlab toolbox that considers audio signals. They used association rule mining to find users' listening patterns and predict the next song the user might prefer. As they propose a music discovery service as well, the authors use the information of music listening pattern and music data similarity to recommend a new song. Later in result section, they replaced the audio based similarity with last.fm api for similar song listing and analyzed the behaviour of their system with the new list of songs.

Automatic intracranial hemorrhage segmentation in 3D non-contrast head CT (NCCT) scans is significant in clinical practice. Existing hemorrhage segmentation methods usually ignores the anisotropic nature of the NCCT, and are evaluated on different in-house datasets with distinct metrics, making it highly challenging to improve segmentation performance and perform objective comparisons among different methods. The 2022 intracranial hemorrhage segmentation on non-contrast head CT (INSTANCE 2022) was a grand challenge held in conjunction with the 2022 International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI). It is intended to resolve the above-mentioned problems and promote the development of both intracranial hemorrhage segmentation and anisotropic data processing. The INSTANCE released a training set of 100 cases with ground-truth and a validation set with 30 cases without ground-truth labels that were available to the participants. A held-out testing set with 70 cases is utilized for the final evaluation and ranking. The methods from different participants are ranked based on four metrics, including Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), Hausdorff Distance (HD), Relative Volume Difference (RVD) and Normalized Surface Dice (NSD). A total of 13 teams submitted distinct solutions to resolve the challenges, making several baseline models, pre-processing strategies and anisotropic data processing techniques available to future researchers. The winner method achieved an average DSC of 0.6925, demonstrating a significant growth over our proposed baseline method. To the best of our knowledge, the proposed INSTANCE challenge releases the first intracranial hemorrhage segmentation benchmark, and is also the first challenge that intended to resolve the anisotropic problem in 3D medical image segmentation, which provides new alternatives in these research fields.
