DESCRIPTION:The development of the World Wide Web over the last 15 years h
 as utterly transformed the publishing landscape. The shift towards digital
  media has compressed the timescales for journalists and allowed publisher
 s to vastly increased distribution. The Guardian has successfully embraced
  the digital era\, overtaking New York Times as the world’s second most 
 popular English-language newspaper website. In a highly competitive landsc
 ape where publishers can obtain direct feedback from readers at scale\, it
  has become clear that data literacy is key for success. To address this c
 hallenge Guardian began building the Data Science Group in 2015. In this t
 alk\, Felix will illustrate some of the machine learning challenges that h
 is team faces to fulfill both the editorial and commercial needs of the 19
 5-years-old publisher.
