论文摘要
最近对音乐流媒体平台上的跳过行为的研究表明，给定歌曲的跳过配置文件（即，跳过率随着歌曲的时间的函数的量度 - 可以看作是歌曲的某种内在特征，因为它既非常具体又非常稳定，而且随着时间和地理区域的高度稳定。在本文中，我们通过引入一个简单的跳过行为模型来进一步进行该分析，其中给定歌曲的跳过配置文件被视为对其中发生的少数事件的响应。特别是，它使我们能够准确地确定触发跳过响应的事件的时机，以及跳过每个事件的用户的比例。令人惊讶的是，单个事件触发的响应似乎遵循了一个时间概况，该时间表在歌曲，流派，设备和听力环境之间是一致的，这表明人们以普遍的方式对音乐惊喜做出了反应。
A recent study of skipping behaviour on music streaming platforms has shown that the skip profile for a given song -- i.e. the measure of the skipping rate as a function of the time in the song -- can be seen as some intrinsic characteristic of the song, in the sense that it is both very specific and highly stable over time and geographical regions. In this paper, we take this analysis one step further by introducing a simple model of skip behaviours, in which the skip profile for a given song is viewed as the response to a small number of events that happen within it. In particular, it allows us to identify accurately the timing of the events that trigger skip responses, as well as the fraction of users who skip following each these events. Strikingly, the responses triggered by individual events appears to follow a temporal profile that is consistent across songs, genres, devices and listening contexts, suggesting that people react to musical surprises in a universal way.
