Cédric Mesnage, from the University of Lugano, will give a research seminar on "Social Shuffle" on Friday February 10th at 13:00h in room 55.410.

Abstract: In this talk I present my understanding on Music Discovery. First the work carried out during my PhD studies in web engineering and social media, particularly web based experiments on the concepts of tag navigation and social diffusion for Music Discovery using Last.fm data, Facebook and Youtube. Second I list problems I see with the discovery of world music from an inter-cultural perspective. Third I give potential directions and outcomes for future work.
