在协作标记系统中，通常假设用户分配标记以便于稍后检索内容。然而，几乎没有行为证据表明标签确实起到了这个作用。使用社交音乐网站 Last.fm 的大规模数据集，我们探索音乐标签模式和随后的收听如何相互作用，以确定是否存在可测量的标签信号作为检索辅助工具。具体来说，我们描述了测试标签的分配是否会导致收听行为增加的方法。结果表明，平均而言，标记只会导致收听率的微小增加，并且总体而言，数据并不支持标记通常充当检索辅助工具的假设。
In collaborative tagging systems, it is generally assumed that users assign tags to facilitate retrieval of content at a later time. There is, however, little behavioral evidence that tags actually serve this purpose. Using a large-scale dataset from the social music website Last.fm, we explore how patterns of music tagging and subsequent listening interact to determine if there exist measurable signals of tags functioning as retrieval aids. Specifically, we describe our methods for testing if the assignment of a tag tends to lead to an increase in listening behavior. Results suggest that tagging, on average, leads to only very small increases in listening rates, and overall the data do not support the assumption that tags generally serve as retrieval aids.
