Keynote at the Second Workshop on Simulations for Information Access (Sim4IA), collocated with SIGIR 2025 in Padua.

The workshops ‘MuRS: 3rd Music Recommender Systems Workshop’ and ‘Beyond Algorithms: Reclaiming the Interdisciplinary Roots of Recommender Systems (BEYOND 2025)’ were accepted to be held at RecSys 2025 in Prague.

On March 14, 2025, we will organize a networking symposium on ‘AI-Supported Learning’ as an initiative of the focus area ‘InterMediation. Music—Effect—Analysis’ at Wissenschaft & Kunst.

A personal recap of 2024.

I was invited as a LEA Role Model in the initiative ‘Let’s empower Austria (LEA)’, an Austrian initiative to empower and support women and girls.

We seek a doctoral researcher (= PhD position) with a focus on fairness in recommender systems in the music sector or a related field in the media sector. Funded position.

I had an exciting and busy time at the RecSys Summer School and RecSys conference.

I had the pleasure of being a guest on the Austrian radio program Mahlzeit Burgenland to discuss some of my favorite topics: music, AI, and broadcasting.

Lots of interesting startups pitched their ideas in the FACTORY(+) program at Innovation Salzburg.

I had a productive and inspiring week at the ‘Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 24352: Conversational Agents: A Framework for Evaluation (CAFE)’ that I co-organized with Li Chen, Nicola Ferro, and Norbert Fuhr.
