Abstract

“Personalisation is a typical Big Data problem. However, the ability to leverage data to produce suggestions that will be both relevant and interesting is a difficult task. This presentation looks at some of the algorithms we use for making good product recommendations in the e-commerce industry.

The Hut Group aims to be the World ’s leading Online Health & Beauty Destination. We are currently the UK ’s leading multi-website online retailer with rapidly growing international operations and a unique proprietary technology platform supporting our websites including market leaders www.myprotein.com, www.coggles.com and www.iwoot.com

Finally, the presentation will end with an announcement of The Hut Group Recommendation Challenge, a machine learning challenge with a £5000 prize up for grabs.”
