Music recommender systems have become an integral part of music streaming services such as Spotify and Last.fm to assist users navigating the extensive music collections offered by them. However, while music listeners interested in…
This study explores the development of an explainable music recommendation system with enhanced user control. Leveraging a hybrid of collaborative filtering and content-based filtering, we address the challenges of opaque recommendation…
The amount of content on online music streaming platforms is immense, and most users only access a tiny fraction of this content. Recommender systems are the application of choice to open up the collection to these users. Collaborative…
State of the art music recommender systems mainly rely on either matrix factorization-based collaborative filtering approaches or deep learning architectures. Deep learning models usually use metadata for content-based filtering or predict…
As music has become more available especially on music streaming platforms, people have started to have distinct preferences to fit to their varying listening situations, also known as context. Hence, there has been a growing interest in…
In this work, we study the association between song lyrics and mood through a data-driven analysis. Our data set consists of nearly one million songs, with song-mood associations derived from user playlists on the Spotify streaming…
As online music platforms grow, music recommender systems play a vital role in helping users navigate and discover content within their vast musical databases. At odds with this larger goal, is the presence of popularity bias, which causes…
Access to longitudinal, individual-level data on work-life balance and wellbeing is limited by privacy, ethical, and logistical constraints. This poses challenges for reproducible research, methodological benchmarking, and education in…
Designed light is an established modality for live performance and music playback. Despite the growing availability of consumer smart lighting, the creation of designed light for music visualization remains limited to professional contexts…
Recent research has leveraged large language model multi-agent systems for complex problem-solving while trying to reduce the manual effort required to build them, driving the development of automated agent workflow optimization methods.…
Music generation aims to create music segments that align with human aesthetics based on diverse conditional information. Despite advancements in generating music from specific textual descriptions (e.g., style, genre, instruments), the…
We present a collection recommender system that can automatically create and recommend collections of items at a user level. Unlike regular recommender systems, which output top-N relevant items, a collection recommender system outputs…
This paper conducts an intricate analysis of musical emotions and trends using Spotify music data, encompassing audio features and valence scores extracted through the Spotipi API. Employing regression modeling, temporal analysis, mood…
Modern online services continuously generate data at very fast rates. This continuous flow of data encompasses content - e.g., posts, news, products, comments -, but also user feedback - e.g., ratings, views, reads, clicks -, together with…
Music recommendation for videos attracts growing interest in multi-modal research. However, existing systems focus primarily on content compatibility, often ignoring the users' preferences. Their inability to interact with users for further…
Despite Flow Matching and diffusion models having emerged as powerful generative paradigms for continuous variables such as images and videos, their application to high-dimensional discrete data, such as language, is still limited. In this…
Conversational music recommendation (CMR) research currently faces a tradeoff between authentic dialogue corpora that are limited in scale and synthesized corpora that scale up but whose conversations are artificially constructed rather…
This chapter reflects on about 10 years of research in AI- assisted music composition, in particular during the Flow Machines project. We reflect on the motivations for such a project, its background, its main results and impact, both…
Most modern recommendation algorithms are data-driven: they generate personalized recommendations by observing users' past behaviors. A common assumption in recommendation is that how a user interacts with a piece of content (e.g., whether…
While large language models (LLMs) are increasingly adapted for recommendation systems via supervised fine-tuning (SFT), this approach amplifies popularity bias due to its likelihood maximization objective, compromising recommendation…
