Profile
Christine Bauer is a Professor of Interactive Intelligent Systems at the Department of Artificial Intelligence and Human Interfaces (AIHI) at the University of Salzburg, Austria, and a Co-Lead of the focus area InterMediation. Music—Effect—Analysis at the inter-university organization Wissenschaft & Kunst.
Her research activities center on interactive intelligent systems, whereby she integrates research on intelligent technologies, the interaction of humans with intelligent systems, and their interplay. She takes a human-centered computing approach, where technology follows humans’ and society’s needs. Recently, she has focused on context-aware recommender systems and concentrates on recommender systems in the music and media sectors in particular. Core interests in her research activities are fairness in algorithmic decision-making and multi-method evaluation.
She advocates equal opportunities, is a member of the working group on equal opportunities (AKG), and engages in initiatives such as Women in Music Information Retrieval (WiMIR), the Allyship program at CHI, and LEA (Let’s empower Austria).
