What is Taste typicality?
Taste typicality describes how characteristic an item is of a given taste, placing people and content on grounded perceptual scales instead of coarse categories.
Two items can share a category and still sit far apart in how characteristic they are of a given taste. Taste typicality measures that. It describes how representative an item is of a particular taste, placing both people and content on grounded perceptual scales instead of coarse categories.
Typicality gives a system nuance that labels cannot. It can tell the difference between something that is on-genre and something that is quintessential, and rank accordingly.
