We will present at the next Machine Learning Dublin (Ireland) Meetup @Zalando

Speakers at the Machine Learning Dublin Meetup @ Zalando Ireland

The next Machine Learning Dublin Meetup will take place on 30th April 2018 at Zalando Dublin, 3 Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. I am one of the three presenters:

1. Joeran Beel, Assistant Professor at ADAPT Centre
   The Potential of Meta Recommender-Systems at Macro- and Micro Level
   We introduce the concept of “macro” and “micro” recommender systems. Both systems can be considered as meta recommender systems for recommendation algorithms. A macro recommender system recommends the potentially best performing recommendation algorithm to an organization that wants to build a recommender system. This way, an organization does not need to test dozens or even more algorithms to find the best one for their particular platform. A micro recommender system recommends the potentially best-performing algorithm for each individual recommendation request. This concept is based on the premise that there is no single-best algorithm for all type of users, items, and contexts.
2. Sergio Gonzalez Sanz, Senior Research Engineer / Data Scientist @ Customer Data Platform, Zalando
   The personalisation of the Zalando Web Experience using customer data in real time with Cassandra and Flink
3. Alice Lynch, Research Engineer / Data Scientist @ Customer Data Platform, Zalando
   Predicting Customer Spend Behaviour for Personalisation of the Zalando Web Experience using SparkML

Zalando opens at 18:00 for networking and registration (pre-registration at the Meetup web page is required I believe). At 18:30, the organizers of the meetup will begin with an introduction and welcome note. At 18:40 the three presenters will start and from around 20:00 to 21:00 there will be time for networking and discussions.
