Jose Del Rio - Infrastructure, data preparation, machine learning supported as a service and automated delivery.
Summary: Ease of access to the range of contents and services provided by any company is fundamental in order to satisfy the increasing requirements of the customers. To achieve this goal we are going to explore how we can use NLP, recommendation systems and other current technologies applied to user commands to improve the support of complex queries as well as to provide a degree of personalisation in the user queries. The initial approach to provide access to existing content tends to rely on the internal structure and classification embedded on the system holding the contents. This structure tends to be rigid and not always straight forward compared to the way a customer may think about a query. To overcome this gap between the internal structure and a user friendly interface it becomes necessary to create an extra layer that will seemingly translate the query as per the system requirements. More interestingly the discovery service must provide support for a wide range of inputs from the specific search of titles to general queries with genres, time frame, actors or rating…. This session will go over the infrastructure, data preparation, machine learning supported as a service and automated delivery.

Caroline Zimmermann - From Soloist to Orchestral Player: How to Scale Big Data Products
Summary: When we first start out working on data products (adashboard, a predictive model), we're often in a prototype environment-- or at least a relatively simple one -- where our success is largelydependent on our skills as a solo player. As long as we master ourtools, we do a good job creating a useful viz or an accurate model.However, when we try to scale that model, we may find that we are farless successful. This is because scaling data products requires notjust mastering our own technical skills, but orchestrating lots ofother moving parts -- the business users, the data architecture andengineering teams, the infrastructure and software we run our modelson. Being a maestro, making music out of all those differentinstruments, is a very different skillset than simply playing thepiano, so to speak. This talk takes you on BMG's journey from soloistto maestro, and what it took to make that transition successfully.
Bio: I lead the data team (anayltics, data science, data engineering)at BMG (Bertelsmann Music Group), the world's fourth-largest musiccompany. Before that, I worked on various analytics initiatives acrossdifferent media businesses within Bertelsmann's portfolio (they arethe largest media company in Europe). Previous to that, I got my MBA,where I focused on stats and big data coursework. Before then, I was aliterary agent!
