Spotify uses various machine learning models to power personalized playlist and track recommendations for its over 100 million active users. Latent factor models represent users and songs as vectors in a shared dimensional space to predict listener preferences. Deep learning models analyze audio features to learn song representations. Natural language processing models like Word2Vec represent user listening histories as sequences to predict future interests. While current models are effective, future work includes incorporating more contextual data into embeddings to remove biases and better capture long-term user intents.

Algorithmic Music Recommendations at SpotifyChris Johnson
In this presentation I introduce various Machine Learning methods that we utilize for music recommendations and discovery at Spotify. Specifically, I focus on Implicit Matrix Factorization for Collaborative Filtering, how to implement a small scale version using python, numpy, and scipy, as well as how to scale up to 20 Million users and 24 Million songs using Hadoop and Spark.
These are the slides of a talk about some of our research at Spotify, as part of the celebration kickoff of Chalmers AI Research Centre in Gothenburg. I always like to make a story in my talk, and this time I wanted to reflect on the "push" (think recommender system) and "pull" (think search) paradigms. I am using this quote from Nicholas Belkin and Bruce Croft from their Communications of the ACM article published in 1992 to frame my story: "We conclude that information retrieval and information filtering are indeed two sides of the same coin. They work together to help people get the information needed to perform their tasks."
Spotify Discover Weekly: The machine learning behind your music recommendationsSophia Ciocca
In this presentation, I give an overview of the machine learning algorithms behind Spotify’s extraordinarily popular Discover Weekly playlist. I provide a brief introduction to what the playlist is, explain how music recommendation engines have evolved over time, then break down the three main algorithm types powering Spotify’s recommendations: (1) collaborative filtering, (2) Natural Language Processing (NLP), and (3) Raw audio analysis.
Video of the presentation can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUtYNjInopA
At the BCS Search Solutions 2018, I gave a talk about work on search we are doing at Spotify. The talk described what search means in the context of Spotify, how it differs what we know about search, and the challenges associated with understanding user intents and mindsets in an "entertainment" context. The talk also discussed various efforts at Spotify to understand why users submit search queries, what they expect, how they assess their search experience, and how Spotify responds to these search queries. This is work done with many colleagues at Spotify in Boston, London, New York and Stockholm, and our wonderful summer interns.
Scala Data Pipelines for Music RecommendationsChris Johnson
Are you still building data pipelines with Java and Python? Are you curious about the current buzz in the Big Data community surrounding Scala as a data processing environment? In this talk I'll discuss how Spotify migrated its music recommendations pipeline from Python to Scala. I'll dive into the language specific features that make Scala the ideal candidate for big data processing as well as highlight the rich set of tools and APIs that we take advantage of to process music recommendations for our 50 Million active users including Scalding, Breeze, Kafka, Spark, Parquet, Driven and Zeppelin.
Music Recommendations at Scale with SparkChris Johnson
Spotify uses a range of Machine Learning models to power its music recommendation features including the Discover page, Radio, and Related Artists. Due to the iterative nature of these models they are a natural fit to the Spark computation paradigm and suffer from the IO overhead incurred by Hadoop. In this talk, I review the ALS algorithm for Matrix Factorization with implicit feedback data and how we’ve scaled it up to handle 100s of Billions of data points using Scala, Breeze, and Spark.
How Spotify uses large scale Machine Learning running on top of Hadoop to power music discovery. From the NYC Predictive Analytics meetup: http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Predictive-Analytics/events/129778152/
Today, I had the big honor to give the opening keynote at the 8th AAAI Conference on Human Computation and Crowdsourcing (HCOMP 2020), being held virtually. HCOMP is the home of the human computation and crowdsourcing community working on frameworks, methods and systems that bring together people and machine intelligence to achieve better results. I decided to totally revamp a previous talk to focus on so-called "human in the loop" and showed how we incorporate human in the loop to personalise at scale, with some of the research at Spotify. Sharing the slides for general interests.
Part of my guest lecture on Data Driven Business Models at Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship. I spoke about how Data is core to the Spotify business and it drives Spotify forward.
The Evolution of Hadoop at Spotify - Through Failures and PainRafał Wojdyła
The quickest way to learn and evolve infrastructure is by encountering obstacles and being forced to overcome limitations that keep you inches away from project goals. At Spotify, we’ve encountered many of these obstacles and frustrations as we grew our Hadoop cluster from a few machines in an office closet aggregating played song events for financial reports, to our current 900 node cluster that plays a large role in many features that you see in our application today.
Two members of Spotify’s Hadoop ‘squad’ will weave in war stories, failures, frustrations and lessons learned to describe the Hadoop/Big Data architecture at Spotify and talk about how that architecture has evolved.
We’ll talk about how and why we use a number of tools, including Apache Falcon and Apache Bigtop to test changes; Apache Crunch, Scalding and Hive w/ Tez to build features and provide analytics; and Snakebite and Luigi, two in-house tools created to overcome common frustrations.
Interactive Recommender Systems with Netflix and SpotifyChris Johnson
Interactive recommender systems enable the user to steer the received recommendations in the desired direction through explicit interaction with the system. In the larger ecosystem of recommender systems used on a website, it is positioned between a lean-back recommendation experience and an active search for a specific piece of content. Besides this aspect, we will discuss several parts that are especially important for interactive recommender systems, including the following: design of the user interface and its tight integration with the algorithm in the back-end; computational efficiency of the recommender algorithm; as well as choosing the right balance between exploiting the feedback from the user as to provide relevant recommendations, and enabling the user to explore the catalog and steer the recommendations in the desired direction.
In particular, we will explore the field of interactive video and music recommendations and their application at Netflix and Spotify. We outline some of the user-experiences built, and discuss the approaches followed to tackle the various aspects of interactive recommendations. We present our insights from user studies and A/B tests.
The tutorial targets researchers and practitioners in the field of recommender systems, and will give the participants a unique opportunity to learn about the various aspects of interactive recommender systems in the video and music domain. The tutorial assumes familiarity with the common methods of recommender systems.

Human presence detection based room light controller using pir2.pptx [repaired]nikhilsinghia
Intelligent Energy Saving System can be used in places like where lighting is very important. The libraries will be well illuminated with many lamps. When people are not present at a reading place the lighting can be made OFF and when they are present, the lighting made ON. All these can be done through by Dimming circuit and PIR sensor.
If a person entering to the monitored area, the PIR sensors activates and sense the person, gives to the micro controller. The Infrared energy emitted from the living body is focused by a Fresnel lens segment. Then only the PIR sensor activates. After sensing the person LDR checks the light intensity of the monitored area, whether it is bright or dark. Depending on the LDR output, the lamp may be ON / OFF by using Dimmer circuit.
By using this system we can adjust the speed of Fan according to the room temperature measured by Thermostat, which is connected to the micro controller. To display the room temperature of PIR mode operation we are using the LCD display.
Approximate nearest neighbor methods and vector models – NYC ML meetupErik Bernhardsson
Nearest neighbors refers to something that is conceptually very simple. For a set of points in some space (possibly many dimensions), we want to find the closest k neighbors quickly.
This presentation covers a library called Annoy built my me that that helps you do (approximate) nearest neighbor queries in high dimensional spaces. We're going through vector models, how to measure similarity, and why nearest neighbor queries are useful.

Invited talk at USEWOD2014 (http://people.cs.kuleuven.be/~bettina.berendt/USEWOD2014/)
A tremendous amount of machine-interpretable information is available in the Linked Open Data Cloud. Unfortunately, much of this data remains underused as machine clients struggle to use the Web. I believe this can be solved by giving machines interfaces similar to those we offer humans, instead of separate interfaces such as SPARQL endpoints. In this talk, I'll discuss the Linked Data Fragments vision on machine access to the Web of Data, and indicate how this impacts usage analysis of the LOD Cloud. We all can learn a lot from how humans access the Web, and those strategies can be applied to querying and analysis. In particular, we have to focus first on solving those use cases that humans can do easily, and only then consider tackling others.
The ability to take data, understand it, visualize it and extract useful information from it is becoming a hugely important skill. How can you turn all those logs, histories of purchases and trades or open government data, into useful information that help your business make money?
In this talk, we’ll look at doing data science using F#. The F# language is perfectly suited for this task – type providers integrate external data directly into the language – your language suddenly _understands_ CSV, XML, JSON, REST services and other sources. The interactive development style makes it easy to explore data and test your algorithms as you’re writing them. Rich set of libraries for working with data frames, time series and for visualization gives you all the tools you need. And finally – F# easily integrates with statistical environments like R and Matlab, giving you access to the industry standard libraries.
Presentation done at WWW 2009 Conference in Madrid, Spain introducing our work in using Linked Open Data as a way to add semantic descriptors to those coming from low-level signal analysis.
Babar: Knowledge Recognition, Extraction and RepresentationPierre de Lacaze
Babar is a research project in the field of Artificial Intelligence. It aims to bridge together Neural AI and Symbolic AI. As such it is implemented in three different programming languages: Clojure, Python and CLOS.
The Clojure component (Clobar) implements the graphical user interface to Babar. Examples of the Clojure Hiccup library and interfacing Clojure to Javascript will be presented. The Python module (Pybar) implements the web crawling and scraping and the Neural Networks aspect of Babar. The Word Embedding and and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) components of Pybar will be described in detail. Finally the Common Lisp module (Lispbar) implements the Symbolic AI aspect of Babar. This latter includes an English Language Parser and Semantic Networks implemented as an in-memory Hypergraph.
We will present each of these components and target individual aspects with code examples. Specifically we will first present the web developments and Neural Networks components. Then the English Language parser will be examined in detail. We will also present the knowledge extraction aspect and bridge this with the Neural Network component.
Ultimately we will argue what can be termed "Neural AI" and "Symbolic AI" are at not at odds with each other but rather complement each other. In summary Artificial Intelligence is not a question of "brain" or "mind", but rather a question of "brain" and "mind".

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

7. Today, we’ll talk about 3 types of models
‣ Latent Factor Models
‣ Deep Learning Audio models
‣ NLP models (which are also latent factor models …)
8. Lets start off with Latent Factor Models
“Compact” representation for each user and items(songs): f-dimensional
vectors

9. If we were to visualize a few Artist Latent Factors
10. Implicit Feedback (Hu et al. 2008)
‣ If a user u, listens to an item i, dot product of the user vector and
item vector should be as close to 1 as possible.
‣ Also takes into account confidence of a user liking an item i
‣ Solve with Alternating Gradient Descent or Alternating Least
squares.
11. Logistic Matrix Factorization (Johnson 2014)
‣ Model the probability of a user clicking on an item as the logistic
function.
‣ Maximize the likelihood of observations R, given ….
12. Recent Advances in MF
‣ Different loss functions (rank loss)
‣ Use of side information (demographics, metadata)
‣ Use of context (where, when)
‣ Deep Learning CF models
13. Deep Learning on Audio

14. Document : User Session
Word : Song
NLP Models For Recommendations
15. Word2Vec (Mikolov et al. 2013)
‣ Each word / track has an input
and output vector
representation.
‣ Output is a vector space with
similar items living close to each
other in cosine distance. (and
awesome vector algebra
property)
Softmax
skipgram
16. Sequential Data? RNN ?
‣ Output layer is same as word2vec, softmax. Make a prediction of
the next item based on hidden state
‣ Recurrent connection
‣ Learning output weights and b’s for each item

17. User Representations?
‣ Word2vec can output word / track representation but what about user
representations.
‣ Simple Aggregation (Bag of words) ?
Averaging problems
‣ Doc2Vec ?
Retrain every time there is new user activity
‣ Clustering?
Losing vector addition information
‣ Learn user vector through RNN ?
18. Another RNN approach
‣ Assume item vectors are fixed
‣ Try to learn the next item vector in the sequence
‣ Long term intents, train RNN to predict longer ahead in the future
19. Challenges, what lies ahead
Side information in embedding models, remove regional
biases, external genre information, lyrics, Facebook /
Twitter account data, [ cover art, who knows :) ]
Deep Learning
Transfer Learning
Outlier Detection
