• Abstract: Podcast recommendation is a growing area of research that presents new challenges and opportunities. Individuals interact with podcasts in a way that is distinct from most other media; and primary to our concerns is distinct from music consumption. We show that successful and consistent recommendations can be made by viewing users as moving through the podcast library sequentially. Recommendations for future podcasts are then made using the trajectory taken from their sequential behavior. Our experiments provide evidence that user behavior is confined to local trends, and that listening patterns tend to be found over short sequences of similar types of shows. Ultimately, our approach gives a450%increase in effectiveness over a collaborative filtering baseline.

  We test for user strategization by conducting a lab experiment and survey. We find strong evidence of strategization across outcome metrics, including participants' dwell time and use of "likes" Our findings suggest that platforms cannot ignore the effect of their algorithms on user behavior.

  We explore the intrinsic relationship between music discovery and popularity bias. We propose a domain-aware, individual fairness-based approach which addresses popularity bias in graph neural network (GNNs) based recommender systems. Our approach uses individual fairness to reflect a ground truth listening experience, i.e., if two songs sound similar, this similarity should be reflected in their representations.

  We assess the feasibility to discover relevant topics from podcast metadata, titles and descriptions, using modeling techniques for short text. We propose a new strategy to named entities (NEs), often present in podcast metadata, in a Non-negative Matrix Factorization modeling framework. Our experiments on two existing datasets from Spotify and iTunes and Deezer, show that our proposed document representation, NEiCE, leads to improved coherence over the baselines.

  Learning from implicit feedback is one of the most common cases in the application of recommender systems. We propose probabilistic and variational recommendation denoising for implicit feedback. We employ the proposed DPI and DVAE on four state-of-the-art recommendation models and conduct experiments on three datasets.

  We propose a method to automatically construct a podcast summary via guidance from the text-domain. Motivated by a lack of datasets for this task, we curate an internal dataset, find an effective scheme for data augmentation, and design a protocol to gather summaries from annotators. Our method achieves ROUGE-F(1/2/L) scores of 0.63/0.53/0.63 on our dataset.
