Wandering Scholar

Informaticist and researcher focused on music and music signal processing. Especially interested in predictive modeling of song sequences for recommendation and discovery (you know, a playlist). Lately I've also been exploring the intersection of physical consumption and the Web of Data. Food and drink is rife with questions that 'big data' approaches can answer, if only the data is there. Also, if you're throwing party I can DJ (or I could try and get an algorithm to sub for me) Specialties: music informatics, digital signal processing, filter design, music signal processing, recommender systems, automatic music analysis, web development, scipy, python, SQL, noSQL, linked data, rdf, .
