چکیده
In absence of individual user information, knowledge about larger user groups (e.g., country characteristics) can be exploited for deriving user preferences in order to provide recommendations to users. In this short paper, we study how to mitigate the cold-start problem on a country level for music retrieval. Specifically, we investigate a large-scale dataset on user listening behavior and show that we can reduce the error for predicting the popularity of genres in a country by about 16.4% over a baseline model using cultural and socio-economics indicators.
