Recommendation analytics

Abstract

This talk will cover how businesses perceive the value of analytics and recommendation analytics in particular. Amidst the tremendous progress in the techniques of recommendation analytics, businesses are noticing that effective recommendations must take into account the product type, inventory constraints, and delivery conditions. An effective recommendation must integrate context about the customer, the selection channel, and the particular timing. The ongoing revolutions in payment mechanisms and multi-channel shopping systems are introducing new, and often ignored, challenges to recommendation systems which this talk hopes to expose.
