The EBU Products Kaizen and Recommenders groups in collaboration invites all EBU Members (employees of public service media companies) to a webinar on personalization in our digital products.
We’re happy to have three members presenting their work and share their findings on implementing multi-armed and contextual bandits for personalization: ZDF (Germany), VRT (Belgium) and NRK (Norway).
Session Overview
Multi-armed bandits personalize content by balancing exploration of new content to gather data on user preferences and exploitation of known high-performing content to maximize engagement.
Contextual bandits can enhance this process by incorporating contextual information create an even more relevant offering. In this session, representatives from three pioneering PSM members will share their firsthand experiences in implementing and optimizing bandit algorithms.
After the presentations there will be a round table discussion where all participants are welcome to ask questions, share their own experiences and discuss the how bandit algorithms are best applied.
Whether you're a data scientist, a tech enthusiast, or someone curious about the future of personalized recommendations, this session promises valuable insights and practical takeaways.
Secure your spot today and be part of a dynamic discussion that could redefine your approach to algorithmic personalization
