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.

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.
