Seminar: Data Science at Netflix

Data science at Netflix is much more than just personalized recommendations (e.g. the 2006-2009 Netflix Prize) – it is also a critical aspect of streaming, quality control, and content development and buying decisions. This talk surveys the breadth of data science work at Netflix, with a specific focus on how the Content Science & Algorithms team (based in Hollywood CA) uses machine learning for valuation and programming of Licensed & Original content.
