Recommender Systems

I am happy to announce that Martijn C. Willemsen and I organize tutor sessions in scope of the RecSys Summer School 2019. The idea is that each participant can discuss the specific research goals and questions with senior researchers/teachers of the summer school and fellow students.

Besides holding a workshop on the festival’s second day (Friday), I will give a talk on ‘‘Music Information Retrieval: Inside and Outside the Music’’; together with Peter Knees at the AIxMusic Matinée on Sunday, 8 September 2019.
Note, the talk is announced with the title ‘‘Music Information & Music Data’’.

I happily announce that I will hold a workshop with the title Recommenders and Intelligent Tools in Music Creation: Why, Why Not, and How? at AIxMusic Festival in scope of the 2019 Ars Electronica Festival—together with my co-speakers Peter Knees, Richard Vogl, and Hansi Raber.

I am happy to be a speaker at the ACM Summer School on Recommender Systems taking place in Gothenburg, Sweden, just a week before the official RecSys 2019 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

I proudly present the PLOS ONE article by Markus Schedl and me: We analyze music preferences in 47 countries with respect to what is considered mainstream in a particular country. And, of course, we evaluate recommendation approaches considering users’ mainstreaminess.

I feel honored being among the seven Outstanding Reviewers (Honorable Mentions) at UMAP 2019. Have a look!

I am proud to announce that my position paper on ‘‘The Potential of the Confluence of Theoretical and Algorithmic Modeling in Music Recommendation’’ has been accepted for the ACM CHI 2019 Workshop on Computational Modeling in Human-Computer Interaction (CompHCI 2019).

Our HICSS paper is online! https://doi.org/10.24251/HICSS.2019.263

The presentation is scheduled for Friday, 11 January 2019, 8:00 am.
