This month CHI Nederland features my CHI 2022 LBW paper (co-authored with Bruce Ferwerda) about the conformity effect across cultures.

In our study design, participants had to create a group music playlist, where a song was only added if there was unanimous agreement to do so.

As a proud supervisor, I am happy to let you know that Karlijn Dinnissen will present and discuss our joint paper Fairness in music recommender systems: a stakeholder-centered mini review at the 5th FAccTRec Workshop: Responsible Recommendation at RecSys 2022.

I am happy to share that episode #8 of the Recsperts podcast was released. Marcel Kurovski, who hosts this podcast, has invited me to talk about my research on recommender systems.

And so we did. We discuss the specifics of recommenders in the music (streaming) domain, my research on fairness from the artists’ perspective, and the importance of multi-method evaluation. I also share my view on the opportunities of leveraging context awareness for recommender systems.

The first joint paper with Karlijn Dinnissen has just appeared in the journal Frontiers in Big Data. In this mini review, we take a stakeholder-centered view and discuss literature on fairness in music recommender systems from the perspective of the various stakeholders.

What an honor—I have received a Best Reviewer Award at UMAP 2022.

Great to see so many engaged reviewers in the community. Congratulations to everyone!
