Her research activities center on interactive intelligent systems, where she integrates research on intelligent technologies, the interaction of humans with intelligent systems, and their interplay. 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 has focused 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 in algorithmic decision-making and multi-method evaluation.
She co-organizes the workshop series “Perspectives on the Evaluation of Recommender Systems (PERSPECTIVES)”. She advocates for equal opportunities and engages in initiatives such as Women in Music Information Retrieval (WiMIR) and the Allyship program at CHI.
