Unpacking Spotify’s podcast search product | Vector search
& a training on using ANN to improve vector search results
I recently heard an interesting story from three prominent data professionals. While planning their weekly discussion group, they discovered Spotify's podcast search feature.
Have you heard of it? I hadn’t.
Intrigued as they were by the product’s ability to find nuanced takes on generative AIs’ impact on enterprise data strategy, they set out on a mission to figure out how this tool worked.
What they discovered is that Spotify’s Podcast Search product actually leverages ANN to overcome the keyword search limitations which are typical for podcast search queries. By using vector embeddings generated from the Universal Sentence Encoder CMLM model, Spotify efficiently matches queries with relevant podcast episodes. This product significantly benefits customers by delivering highly relevant content recommendations, improving discoverability, and enriching the overall listening experience with content that matches their queries and interests more accurately.
