620, 10, 5

Michael Fingerhut announced today on the music-ir list that his complete list of ISMIR papers now contains 620 entries (including this year’s papers). That’s an impressive pile of papers that the ISMIR community has produced since 2000... Btw, there have been only 10 papers so far which contained “recommend” in the title. 5 of those will be presented this year... Given that there will also be a tutorial on recommendation, and that I've mostly been blogging about recommendations recently makes me wonder if recommendations is about to establish itself as one of the core topics of MIR?
