DESCRIPTION:The Ithaca Music Forum presents Prof. Doug Turnbull of the Itha
 ca College Computer Science Department on Friday\, 12/4\, at 5 pm via Zoom
 .  Prof. Turnbull will present a talk titled "Locally-focused Music Recomm
 endation."\n\nThere are talented musicians all around us.  They play amazi
 ng live shows at small venues in every city all around the world.  Yet mus
 ic services like Spotify\, Apple Music\, YouTube\, and Pandora do a poor j
 ob of helping listeners discover these artists for a variety of commercial
  and technical reasons.  In this talk\, Prof. Turnbull wil provide a brief
  introduction to music recommendation\, the long-tail consumption model\, 
 and popularity bias.  He will then describe recent efforts at Ithaca Colle
 ge to investigate fairness in music recommendation and to develop apps (e.
 g.\, Localify.org\, MegsRadio.fm) that are designed to support locally-foc
 used music discovery.\n\nDouglas Turnbull is an Associate Professor in the
  Department of Computer Science at Ithaca College.  His research focuses o
 n music information retrieval\, computer audition\, and machine learning. 
  He is currently working on Localify.org which explores using music event 
 recommendations and playlist generation on Spotify to support local music 
 communities.  This project is funded by the National Science Foundation an
 d is being developed by a large team of undergraduate students at Ithaca C
 ollege.  More information about his research can be found at dougturnbull.
