"The Algorithm". "Game the algorithm". "See, here's how the algorithm works..." Let's be honest - when it comes to any algorithm (including Spotify's Recommendation Engine), most people don't know what the f*** they're talking about. Still, people line up to pontificate about the inner workings of "the algorithm"... In this episode Circa and Corrin discuss the work of Spotify's machine learning engineers in creating the Spotify Recommendation Engine. You'll learn how it ACTUALLY works, including everything we know and the things we still can't know. You'll dispel countless mythical book chapters and tutorial videos floating out there on the internet, AND... You'll finally know how the Spotify "Algorithm" works and what it means for YOUR music career. So, if everyone in your music scene can't stop themselves from morphing into armchair data scientists, you're going to want to listen closely to this one!
