Production recommendation systems in large social and commerce platforms pose complex and unprecedented challenges. The aim of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers and practitioners in related fields to share knowledge and explore opportunities for research collaboration between academia and industry.

“Every day, We help over a billion people connect on Instagram with their friends, interests, businesses, and YouTubers who love them. In order for a community of this size to find new and inspiring content, we need to constantly develop our recommendation system technology. Working with like-minded experts from industry and science enables us to do just that“, says Aameek Singh, Technical Director, Instagram.
