I feel very honored to give a keynote address at ISMIR 2023. I will address the multifaceted needs of stakeholders who rely on the technologies revolving around music information retrieval (MIR). In particular, I will zoom in examples from music recommender systems and demonstrate the potential risks of neglecting artists’ needs—and provide strategies for mitigation.
The ISMIR paper co-authored with Markus Schedl is online. The paper is entitled ‘‘Investigating cross-country relationship between users’ social ties and music mainstreaminess’’.
