We are please to invite you to a talk on "Music and Sound Recommendation for Listeners and Creators" by Dr. Peter Knees from TU Wien.

The talk is scheduled for Tuesday, 15 May 2018, 5:00 p.m., and will take place in HS16 (OMP, Oskar-Morgenstern-Platz  1, 1090 Wien, 2nd floor). For details see the abstract below.

Music recommenders are powerful tools that drive music streaming platforms, aiming to deliver the right music at the right time for each user. After giving a brief overview of different recommendation techniques used in today’s services, I will take a look at their applications and perspectives within the music industry. From interviews carried out in the context of a past project dealing with the role of intelligent machines in the process of music creation, I will highlight scenarios and implied challenges for introducing recommenders in composition. I will conclude the talk with a speculative outlook on the future of the music industry landscape and the roles of music technology and music creators therein.
