Welcome to RS_c, the central platform for the RecSys community. We provide curated lists of recommender-systems datasets, algorithms, books, conferences and many resources more. Maybe most importantly, we publish the latest recommender-system news. If you want your news to be reported on RS_c, read here.
Spotify is rolling out a new feature in the UK and Australia. Users can create “AI Playlists”, i.e. a user types a prompt such as “English karaoke songs suitable to be sung by a shy German researcher who cannot sing”, and then Spotify gives you precisely that. This may be a game changer for the yearly karaoke session at the ACM RecSys Conference.
I am the founder of Recommender-Systems.com and head of the Intelligent Systems Group (ISG) at the University of Siegen, Germany https://isg.beel.org. We conduct research in recommender-systems (RecSys), personalization and information retrieval (IR) as well as on automated machine learning (AutoML), meta-learning and algorithm selection. Domains we are particularly interested in include smart places, eHealth, manufacturing (industry 4.0), mobility, visual computing, and digital libraries.
We founded or maintain, among others, LensKit-Auto, Darwin & Goliath, Mr. DLib, and Docear, each with thousand of users; we contributed to TensorFlow, JabRef and others; and we developed the first prototypes of automated recommender systems (AutoSurprise and Auto-CaseRec) and Federated Meta Learning (FMLearn Server and Client).
