Algorithmic Responsibility
Research in algorithmic responsibility at Spotify combines machine learning research with social science to ensure high quality data decisions and equitable algorithmic outcomes. We carry out in-depth research, perform product-focused case studies, as well as develop practical tools that teams can actually use. We do this by taking deep-dives into the characteristics of large-scale datasets, including understanding which creators are less accessible in both existing recommendations and new modalities such as voice, and developing machine learning approaches that combine multiple stakeholder objectives.
