Just Ask: Designing intent driven algos

Presented by Anna Schneider, Data Science Manager at Stitch Fix

Classic recommender systems are great for answering the question “what does a user want in general?”. However, they only get you partway to an answer to “what does a user want right now?”. To close the gap, it helps to capture and act on real-time user intent. I’ll share two examples of this paradigm, and the resulting changes to our algorithms and architectures at Stitch Fix.
