Modeling N-th Order Derivative Creation with Content Popularity
Kosetsu Tsukuda, Masahiro Hamasaki, Masataka Goto National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)
Estimate Factors That Trigger N-th Order Derivative Creation
Contributions
Modeled n-th order derivative creation as a function of original work attractiveness, original work popularity, and derivative work popularity.
Quantitatively evaluated our model using music content dataset and showed the model adopting all three factors achieved the best result.
Qualitatively evaluated our model in terms of category characteristics, temporal development of factors, and creator characteristics.

Rate
Rate at which creator posts a derivative work at time :
- is the original work’s attractiveness,
- is the probability that is influenced by Oatt,
- assumed to be constant in time.

Sing: creators tend to follow fads and put a high priority on content popularity.
Dance: the ratio of Dpop is high because many creators imitate the choreography
proposed in a derivative work.
Play: creators play their favorite original songs without being affected by fads.
#ofderivativeworks
Derivative works of an original song in the “sing” category. Derivative works of an original song in the “dance” category. Derivative works of an original song in the “play” category.
For a creator in circle A, recommend original works similar to
the original works he/she used in the past.
For a creator in circle B, recommend original works because
he/she can compose original choreography.
For a creator in circle C, recommend popular content in the
derivative work ranking.
These days amateur creators who used
to be just consumers can also easily
create content (a.k.a. user generated
content). Since not all amateur creators
can create new content from scratch,
it is popular to use existing original
(1st generation) work as the basis for
new content: such content is called
derivative work.

In this kind of derivative work
creation activity, a creator
influenced by 2nd gen content
can create 3rd gen content.
Similarly, Nth gen content
can be transformed into N+1th
gen content. Such derivative
work creation activity is called
N-th order derivative creation.
