Talk: The Art of Relevance and Recommendations

Track: Art of Relevancy and Recommendations

Location: Pacific LMNO

Day of week: Monday

Duration: 10:35am - 11:25am

The age of artificial intelligence is upon us. Whether you know it or not, we interact with systems powered by machine learning on a daily basis. If you ever wondered how social networks, online retailers, and video streaming sites seem to know exactly what content and products you desire, this session is for you.

In this talk, we will walk you through the creation of a real-world relevance and recommendation system from scratch. We will cover the machine learning theory powering such systems, focusing on useful hacks and techniques that are not typically covered in standard machine learning courses. Through this crash course on the black art of relevance and recommendation systems, you will be on well track to using artificial intelligence to maximize your product’s user retention, engagement, and conversion rates.
