Speaker: Kobi Abayomi, Head of Science, Gumbel Demand Acceleration Title: Sound Information is All You Need Abstract: It turns out that affinity for a song is predictable from its sound. We explore the statistical predictability of aggregate song demand from an informational representation. ___________________________ Bio: Dr. Abayomi is the Head of Science for Gumbel Demand […]
