  • Chapter: Music Recommender Systems
    Chapter 13 Music Recommender Systems Markus Schedl, Peter Knees, Brian McFee, Dmitry Bogdanov, and Marius Kaminskas 13.1 Introduction Boosted by the emergence of online music shops and music streaming services, digital music distribution has led to an ubiquitous availability of music. Music listeners, suddenly faced with an unprecedented scale of readily available content, can easily become overwhelmed. Music recommender systems, the topic of this chapter, provide guidance to users navigating large collections. Music items that can be recommended include artists, albums, songs, genres, and radio stations. In this chapter, we illustrate the unique characteristics of the music recommen- dation problem, as compared to other content domains, such as books or movies. To understand the differences, let us first consider the amount of time required for ausertoconsumeasinglemediaitem.Thereisobviouslyalargediscrepancyin consumption time between books (days or weeks), movies (one to a few hours), and asong(typicallyafewminutes).Consequently,thetimeittakesforausertoform opinions for music can be much shorter than in other domains, which contributes to the ephemeral, even disposable, nature of music.

  • Mise En Page 1
    SEXTANT ET PLUS, associée à IKSV et CULTURESFRANCE, présente EMPLOI SAISONNIER "Emploi saisonnier" est un projet proposé par Celenk Bafra et Véronique Collard Bovy, basé sur un en - semble de recherches et d’échanges initié en 2008 dans les villes d’Istanbul, Izmir, Antakya, Diyarbakir, Paris et Marseille. Le point de départ était de rendre compte de manière précise des questions urbaines, sociales et culturelles des villes du pourtour Méditerranéen, et plus particulièrement de Turquie. Ces recherches se sont concentrées sur les différentes problématiques socio-culturelles de ces cités et sur les modalités de production collectives comme autant de solutions pour les artistes d’exister ensemble en inventant des systèmes d’échanges et de solidarité. De ces recherches découle l’élaboration de trois propositions artistiques, trois expositions présentées à la Friche Belle de Mai, à Marseille. Il était crucial, concernant le programme de résidence, d’y intégrer des artistes de Turquie familliers avec la dimension collective, le vivre et travailler ensemble. Venus d’Izmir, une des grandes villes de Turquie et un des plus important port de la côte asiatique, quatre artistes, par ailleurs figures emblématiques d’une des plus importantes initiatives d’artistes contemporains à Izmir, nommée K2, ont mené leurs résidences à Marseille. Bien que leurs propositions artistiques se soient formalisées de manière individuelle, une approche commune et une filiation spirituelle existe par ce passé partagé. Le processus de leur résidence jusqu'à la production de leur travaux, traitant des questions du quotidien et des modes de vie, a contribué au contenu de l'exposition "Arrangements" au même titre que les oeuvres des autres artistes invités qui, par leurs positions et leurs approches des questions du quotidien, viennent la nourrir et l'enrichir.
