• Abstract summary: We propose a system which can generate a situational playlist for a user at a certain time by leveraging user-aware music autotaggers. Experiments show that such a context-aware personalized music retrieval system is feasible, but the performance decreases in the case of new users.

• Abstract: 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 considering the user's situation when recommending music to users. Previous works have proposed user-aware autotaggers to infer situation-related tags from music content and user's global listening preferences. However, in a practical music retrieval system, the autotagger could be only used by assuming that the context class is explicitly provided by the user. In this work, for designing a fully automatised music retrieval system, we propose to disambiguate the user's listening information from their stream data. Namely, we propose a system which can generate a situational playlist for a user at a certain time 1) by leveraging user-aware music autotaggers, and 2) by automatically inferring the user's situation from stream data (e.g. device, network) and user's general profile information (e.g. age). Experiments show that such a context-aware personalized music retrieval system is feasible, but the performance decreases in the case of new users, new tracks or when the number of context classes increases.

  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.

  Sequential recommender models learn to predict the next items a user is likely to interact with based on his/her interaction history on the platform.

Intent modeling is thus critical for understanding users and optimizing long-term user experience.
