Profile
Christine Bauer is an Assistant Professor at the Human-Centered Computing group at the Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University.
Her research activities center on interactive intelligent systems where she integrates research on intelligent technologies, the interaction of humans with the intelligent system, as well as their interplay. Thereby, she takes a human-centered computing approach, where technology follows humans’ and society’s needs. Central themes in her research are context and context-adaptivity. Recently, she focuses on context-aware recommender systems and concentrates on recommender systems in the music and media sector in particular. Core interests in her research activities are fairness and multi-method evaluation.

Selected Projects
Beyond clicks! Value-driven recommendations
Many news platforms provides uses with recommendations for a personalized experience that fits their interests and needs. However, aside from the consumption of news articles and user loyalty, additional values are relevant that need to be integrated in news recommender systems.
SpART: Spotlight on Artists in Recommenders Systems
The purpose of this project is to understand how current systems used to recommend music affect artists and to propose alternative solutions that could benefit the artists. The goal is to identify potential problems that affect artists, and to draw on the artists’ perspective about how future recommender systems could work.
Multi-method evaluation
The comprehensive evaluation of the performance of a system is a complex endeavor: many facets need to be considered in configuring an adequate and effective evaluation setting. A single evaluation method or measure is not able to evaluate all relevant aspects in a complex setting where a multitude of stakeholders are involved. Employing a multi-method evaluation, where multiple evaluation methods or measures are combined and integrated, allows for getting a richer picture and prevents blind spots in the evaluation outcome.
Fine-grained culture-aware music recommender systems
This FWF-funded project (2017-2020) aimed to design and implement music recommender systems that are able to meet those requirements by considering different granularity levels of cultural aspects in a comprehensive way.
