Multimedia recommender systems
No full textThis tutorial introduces multimedia recommender systems (MMRS), in particular, recommender systems that leverage multimedia content to recommend different media types. In contrast to the still most frequently adopted collaborative filtering approaches, we focus on content-based MMRS and on hybrids of collaborative filtering and content-based filtering. The target recommendation domains of the tutorial are movies, music and images. We present state-of-the-art approaches for multimedia feature extraction (text, audio, visual), including deep learning methods, and recommendation approaches tailored to the multimedia domain. Furthermore, by introducing common evaluation techniques, pointing to publicly available datasets specific to the multimedia domain, and discussing the grand challenges in MMRS research, this tutorial provides the audience with a profound introduction to MMRS and an inspiration to conduct further research
Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin
MuRS 2024: 2nd Music Recommender Systems Workshop
No full textMusic recommendation has been relevant to the Recommender Systems (RecSys) community since the early days. With the growth of music streaming platforms, algorithmic recommendations have become critical in the music industry. However, many challenges are still wide open in the area of music recommender systems. Such challenges are currently being addressed in several research communities, including and beyond the RecSys and the Music Information Retrieval (MIR) communities. The RecSys conference has traditionally not focused very much on music content understanding. In contrast, while music content understanding is central to the MIR community, research on recommender systems is not prominent in MIR research. The Music Recommender Systems Workshop (MuRS) aims at bridging the existing gap between the diverse research communities focused on the specific challenges of music recommender systems. The workshop provides a space for researchers and practitioners from multiple disciplines to jointly discuss and exchange perspectives and solutions, and to promote discussion from both academia and industry upon future research directions in the area of music recommender systems

Film of men walking with backpacks, from experiments done by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a short film of experiments conducted by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The film shows two men walking. One man wears a backpack with most of the weight up on the shoulders, the other wears a backpack with most of the weight on the lower back. In both, the men have little dots on their knees, hips, shoulders and ankles and they are walking on a treadmill in front of graph with numbers on it. The film is not dated, though these experiments may have been conducted when Dr. Karpovich served as the Chief of the Laboratory of Physical Fitness at the School of Aviation Medicine, Army Air Force. He held this position from 1941-1945. The film is a digital copy of the original 16mm black and white silent film. There are no markings on the reel.For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/571This file is shown in 30 frames per second
Content-driven music recommendation: Evolution, state of the art, and challenges
No full textThe music domain is among the most important ones for adopting recommender systems technology. In contrast to most other recommendation domains, which predominantly rely on collaborative filtering (CF) techniques, music recommenders have traditionally embraced content-based (CB) approaches. In the past years, music recommendation models that leverage collaborative and content data – which we refer to as content-driven models – have been replacing pure CF or CB models. In this survey, we review 55 articles on content-driven music recommendation. Based on a thorough literature analysis, we first propose an onion model comprising five layers, each of which corresponds to a category of music content we identified: signal, embedded metadata, expert-generated content, user-generated content, and derivative content. We provide a detailed characterization of each category along several dimensions. Second, we identify six overarching challenges, according to which we organize our main discussion: increasing recommendation diversity and novelty, providing transparency and explanations, accomplishing context-awareness, recommending sequences of music, improving scalability and efficiency, and alleviating cold start. Each article addresses one or more of these challenges and is categorized according to the content layers of our onion model, the article's goal(s), and main methodological choices. Furthermore, articles are discussed in temporal order to shed light on the evolution of content-driven music recommendation strategies. Finally, we provide our personal selection of the persisting grand challenges which are still waiting to be solved in future research endeavors
