Talk Abstract:
The “Streaming Wars” have reached their peak in the last few months as several new streaming services have launched, including NBCU’s Peacock. As a consequence, user’s have thousands of hours of content to choose from on multiple platforms. Recommendation systems and personalization models have therefore never been more important. Unfortunately, in the race to develop the best recommendation system, the models in industry are sinking further and further into “black boxes”. Our team will discuss how Peacock is building a personalization framework that not only delivers accurate models, but also provides actionable insights to other relevant business units.
