Practical Bandits: An Industry Perspective

no code implementations2 Feb 2023 Bram van den Akker, Olivier Jeunen, Ying Li, Ben London, Zahra Nazari, Devesh Parekh

The research literature on these topics is broad and vast, but this can overwhelm practitioners, whose primary aim is to solve practical problems, and therefore need to decide on a specific instantiation or approach for each project.

Sequential Recommendation via Stochastic Self-Attention

1 code implementation16 Jan 2022 Ziwei Fan, Zhiwei Liu, Alice Wang, Zahra Nazari, Lei Zheng, Hao Peng, Philip S. Yu

We further argue that BPR loss has no constraint on positive and sampled negative items, which misleads the optimization.

The Engagement-Diversity Connection: Evidence from a Field Experiment on Spotify

no code implementations17 Mar 2020 David Holtz, Benjamin Carterette, Praveen Chandar, Zahra Nazari, Henriette Cramer, Sinan Aral

We also observe evidence that our treatment affected streams from sections of Spotify's app not directly affected by the experiment, suggesting that exposure to personalized recommendations can affect the content that users consume organically.
