Use Case 1: Catalog language translation
This challenge arises when two (or more) differently tagged music catalogs shall be integrated into each other (potentially after a catalog acquisition or when choosing a different distribution outlet). Manually translating tags is tedious and may lead to significant information loss as sometimes the same tags are not used equally (see “subjective catalog language” above).
Our system is able to understand and map every tag in relation to each other. It does it with both taxonomies understanding the respective catalog language. In a second step it maps both catalogue languages on top of each other drawing direct relations between tags and their understanding. The third step marks the translation of the single song tagging from one catalog language into the one the catalog shall be integrated in. The system automatically re-tags every song in a new catalog language.
Use Case 2: Keyword Cleaning of inconsistent keyword tagging
Companies with high fluctuation in tagging staff face this challenge – or it may be a company with a particularly large catalog (>100,000 songs) that picked up some legacy over the years: Inconsistencies in keyword tagging. This is one of the biggest problem catalogs can face as it seriously diminishes the searchability and search experience of the catalog leading to mistrust of the system, individual workarounds and eventually losing the customer for good. Or it leads the customer to directly contact the library’s sales team and search staff which harms the capability of your business to scale.
After understanding the respective catalog language of your catalog our Cyanite Keyword Cleaning system can detect tags with low keyword similarity that may contradict the other tags and flag the respective songs. To assess if a tag was wrongfully assigned (or may be missing), we offer an audio-based tagging solution for these anomalies to detect whether or not a tag is suitable or not. In case of the latter the tag is then deleted.
Use Case 3: Taxonomy Cleaning. Detection of redundancies and blind spots.
Languages change over time – and with it change catalog languages. Some catalogs have 15,000+ different keywords in their taxonomy. It should come as no surprise that songs with older keyword tags are less being found. The choice to a slimmer taxonomy can elevate searchability and overall search experience of catalogs.
This raises the question of whether all tags are necessary and meaningful or not. To test this, our Cyanite system can detect tags that are equal in meaning by scanning through your keyword tagging. Then it consolidates redundancies condensing a taxonomy to only meaningful disjunct keyword classes.
Use Case 4: Open search
If you rely on customers handing in sync briefings and then search your catalog yourself, your business will lack scalability. So you might want to open up your catalog search to every potential client. For this you want to make sure, that you deliver the right music to every music search and every individual understanding of music – you need to speak the language of every of your customers.
To achieve this, our Cyanite Keyword system can translate a vast amount of keywords into semantically related tags. This means that if you only tag the keyword „euphoric” for very upbeat, outgoing and happy songs, but the client wants to search for „enthusiastic”, our Cyanite Keyword system understands and will present the suitable songs out of your catalog. This is important for keyword that were tagged significantly less in your catalog to be able to show a good variety of music.
Use Case 5: Automatic tagging in your own catalog language.
Let’s say your clients and customers got used to your specific keyword tagging – your catalog language. It means that your catalog language is an integral part of the stickiness of your platform and will lead customers to retain to your service. If you introduce automatic tagging through deep learning systems such as the Cyanite Tagging system, you want to keep the automatic tags in your catalog language so that your customers keep on finding the right music.
To achieve this, our Cyanite Keyword system and the Cyanite Tagging system work together on translating our auto-tags into your catalog language. Your customers won’t even notice that you switched to AI-tagging.
