Like us, you’re probably both encouraged by the potential of ML to improve lives and occasionally disenchanted by the breathless hype it receives. At Spotify, we work to find ways of applying Machine Learning at scale to deliver the best experience for all of our users.
Join us for a discussion on how we build recommendation systems in to our platform to create marketplaces and deliver personalized content to nearly 250 million users. We will discuss how we centralized an ML tooling team to speed development and democratize modeling decisions, and celebrate the success (and failures) we had along the way.
Come check out our brand new office space! Our offices at The Adelphi Building, 4 Savoy Place, London WC2N 6AT.
The easiest way to our space is through the Victoria Embankment Gardens if you're coming from Embankment / Charing Cross, and through Carting Ln from Covent Garden. Please note that Spotify has its own entrance to the building, so if you arrive to the main entrance on John Adam Street, go around to the side of the Adelphi building and down the steps on the left onto Savoy Place.
