Just spent a day at MLConf where I was talking about how we do music recommendations. There was a whole range of great speakers (actually almost 2/3 women which was pretty cool in itself). Here are my slides: Justin Basilico from Netflix talked about how they deliver a personalized start page using lots of ranking Claudia Perlich also had a great presentation about ad targeting.
