Crucial to Deezer’s ecosystem are recommender systems. These are algorithms that help users navigate the seemingly endless music catalog by directing them towards content they are likely to enjoy. Conditional to effective recommendation is the identification of the users’ musical taste. Effective modeling musical taste is quite challenging. Users continuously discover new music while revisiting old known preferences from time to time. All this takes place in an ever changing environment where new songs are introduced continuously.
