It was a great pleasure to welcome Sven Müller (CEO at AutLay) in my master course on Adaptive Interactive Systems. In his guest lecture, Sven presented how we can use personalization in print and shared insights about their approaches at AutLay.

Last week, I had the pleasure giving a guest lecture in the scope of the minor program “MU$IC—The Economy, Sociology and Practice of Popular Music” at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. It was very inspiring to work with students from another discipline.

This month CHI Nederland features my CHI 2022 LBW paper (co-authored with Bruce Ferwerda) about the conformity effect across cultures. https://chinederland.nl/2022/09/chi-nl-read-conformity-effect-across-cultures/ In our study design, participants had to create a group music playlist, where a song was only added if there was unanimous agreement to do so.

As a proud supervisor, I am happy to let you know that Karlijn Dinnissen will present and discuss our joint paper Fairness in music recommender systems: a stakeholder-centered mini review at the 5th FAccTRec Workshop: Responsible Recommendation at RecSys 2022.

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.

The first joint paper with Karlijn Dinnissen has just appeared in the journal Frontiers in Big Data. In this mini review, we take a stakeholder-centered view and discuss literature on fairness in music recommender systems from the perspective of the various stakeholders.

What an honor—I have received a Best Reviewer Award at UMAP 2022. Great to see so many engaged reviewers in the community. Congratulations to everyone!

Glad that we wild hold a tutorial at ISMIR 2022 on trustworthy music information retrieval (MIR). The goal is to create MIR applications with values.

New publication is online. Constructing gender in audio: Exploring how the curation of the voice in music and speech influences our conception of gender identity.
