AI and Your Shopping Habit

Saturday, March 12
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Westin Austin Downtown
Continental 3
310 E 5th ST

In this session, ecommerce experts from Zappos and Pinterest will explore how machine learning has transformed the shopping experience and made it easier than ever to predict customer's preferences, even before the consumer recognizes them. The uber-curated shopping experience has shaped consumer expectations and engineers are constantly reimagining ways to personalize experiences at scale. Speakers will discuss examples of how ecommerce companies are using machine learning to create the best customer experience (e.g. Amazon reviews), the difference between personalization and customization and how machine learning can ensure the content we’re delivering is actually relevant to consumers.
