I investigate the generation of tag clouds using Bayesian models and test the hypothesis that social network information is better than overall popularity for ranking new and relevant information. I propose three tag cloud generation models based on popularity, topics and social structure. I conducted two user evaluations to compare the models for search and recommendation of music with social network data gathered from Last.fm. Our survey shows that search with tag clouds is not practical whereas recommendation is promising. I report statistical results and compare the performance of the models in generating tag clouds that lead users to discover songs that they liked and were new to them. I find statistically significant evidence at 5% confidence level that the topic and social models outperform the popular model. I report on an experiment on social diffusion for music discovery. I describe the experimental methodology which includes the making of a music videos dataset and the creation of a social application. I give a statistical analysis of the participants ratings which shows that social diffusion leads to more good recommendations. I conclude and show that the social shuffle is an effective mechanism for information recommendation and that social relationships are relevant data to enhance information navigation. 000028988 695__ $$9eng$$aMusic discovery ; Computer science ; Social media and web engineering ; Tag navigation 000028988 700__ $$aJazayeri, Mehdi$$eDir. 000028988 8564_ $$f2011INFO009.pdf$$qapplication/pdf$$s2279963$$uhttps://doc.rero.ch/record/28988/files/2011INFO009.pdf$$yorder:1$$zTexte intégral 000028988 918__ $$aFacoltà di scienze informatiche$$bVia Lambertenghi 10A, CH-6904 Lugano 000028988 919__ $$aUniversità della Svizzera italiana$$bLugano$$ddoc.support@rero.ch 000028988 980__ $$aTHESIS$$bUNISI$$fTH_PHD 000028988 990__ $$a20120416100806-MJ
