What an honor that my recent work with Andrés Ferraro is featured as an example for research on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion at Utrecht University’s website. There is also a sneak peek to an upcoming work with Johanna Devaney.

I am very happy that our CHIIR paper Break the Loop: Gender Imbalance in Music Recommenders with Andrés Ferraro and Xavier Serra received a lot of media attention.

It will take a while until I can integrate all the media articles (that I am aware of) in my website.
Here some links (articles in various languages):

Music recommendation algorithms are unfair to female artists, but we can change that.

Article written by: Christine Bauer, Utrecht University and Andrés Ferraro, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Andrés Ferraro will present our joint paper at CHIIR 2021. In the paper with the title Break the Loop: Gender Imbalance in Music Recommenders, we investigate the imbalance in music recommendations with respect to the artists gender. We propose a simple re-ranking approach to mitigate the problem and show in a simulation of feedback loops how the gender (im-)balances evolves over time.

While CHIIR 2020 had to be cancelled due to the current global situation with Covid-19, the paper accompanying the tutorial on multi-method evaluation (that I would have held there) is published.

Unfortunately, CHIIR 2020 was cancelled. This is really sad news. I was so much looking forward to holding the tutorial on multi-method evaluation. Meanwhile, you can have a look at https://multimethods.info, which I maintain with Eva Zangerle. You can find a collection of useful material there.

Are you interested in attending my CHIIR 2020 tutorial on multi-method evaluation (Leveraging multiple methods to answer what you were looking for)?

Consider preparing a small (very small!) task for the tutorial. It will help you get the best out of it for your very own research project. I summarized the task on the multimethods.info site that I maintain together with Eva Zangerle from Universität Innsbruck: Task description for the CHIIR 2020 Tutorial ‘‘Leveraging multiple methods to answer what you were looking for’’.

I am happy to announce that I will give a tutorial with the title ‘‘Leveraging multiple methods to answer what you were looking for’’ at CHIIR 2020. Details will follow.
