Collecting accurate and fine-grain information about the music people like, dislike and actually listen to has long been a challenge for sociologists. As millions of people now use…
A dominance tree approach to systems of cities
Thomas Louail, Marc Barthelemy
Characterizing the spatial organization of urban systems is a challenge which points to the more general problem of describing marked point processes in spatial statistics. We prop…
Follow the guides: disentangling human and algorithmic curation in online music consumption
Quentin Villermet, Jérémie Poiroux, Manuel Moussallam +2
The role of recommendation systems in the diversity of content consumption on platforms is a much-debated issue. The quantitative state of the art often overlooks the existence of…
