Two different datasets with users, items, implicit feedback interactions between users and items, item tags, and item text descriptions are provided, one for Music Recommendation (KGRec-music), and other for Sound Recommendation (KGRec-sound). 
 

Music Recommendation Dataset (KGRec-music)

Number of items: 8,640 
Number of users: 5,199 
Number of items-users interactions: 751,531 

All the data comes from songfacts.com and last.fm websites. Items are songs, which are described in terms of textual description extracted from songfacts.com, and tags from last.fm. 

Files and folders in the dataset:

implicit_lf_dataset.txt
