The document discusses the process of creating charts with Raphael.js and SVG. It begins by asking why the author chose to create new charts rather than use existing JavaScript charting libraries, and why SVG and Raphael.js were selected. It then addresses challenges as this was the author's first time developing charts, and considers whether rebuilding from scratch was necessary given the availability of libraries like amCharts and Highcharts.

A/B Testing at Pinterest: Building a Culture of Experimentation WrangleConf
Presenter: Andrea Burbank, Pinterest
A successful experimentation program consists of much more than mere randomization and measurement. How do you help stakeholders understand the right things to measure, avoid common pitfalls, and learn to rely on A/B tests as the best way to measure a new system or feature? In this talk, Andrea will explain how building a culture of experimentation and the right tools to support it is just as important as the statistics behind the comparisons themselves - and potentially much trickier to get right.
For successful innovation its important to first identify opportunities to innovate. If that's not done properly, whatever efforts one might put will not yield any results. The presentation gives insight into how to find innovation opportunities at customer interface and across the value chain.

Zero to 100 is a learning program from David Skok. It is a detailed instruction manual for how to take your startup from zero to $100m, with a particular focus on the area of building a go-to-market machine. So many of today’s founders come from a product or technical background, and have never been involved with sales and marketing. Right after starting their venture, they are hit with the huge problem of how to build their go-to-market organization and processes. It breaks the journey down into 9 steps, and explains why it is crucial not to skip steps in this journey in the rush to get ahead. The major Zero to 100 is a learning program from David Skok.

Panaseer Sr. PM on How to Use Data as a Product ManagerProduct School
Main takeaways:
- Importance of informing your decisions with data
- Know the difference between qualitative and quantitative data, when to use it and how to adjust it
- The importance of knowing how to perform proper usability testing and why to expose this to your entire team so they see first - hand how users interact with your product
Talk with Yves Raimond at the GPU Tech Conference on Marth 28, 2018 in San Jose, CA.
Abstract:
In this talk, we will survey how Deep Learning methods can be applied to personalization and recommendations. We will cover why standard Deep Learning approaches don't perform better than typical collaborative filtering techniques. Then we will survey we will go over recently published research at the intersection of Deep Learning and recommender systems, looking at how they integrate new types of data, explore new models, or change the recommendation problem statement. We will also highlight some of the ways that neural networks are used at Netflix and how we can use GPUs to train recommender systems. Finally, we will highlight promising new directions in this space.
These are the slides of the keynote I gave at UMAP 2019 (User Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization) held in Larnaca, June 2019. The theme of the conference this year was "Making Personalization Transparent: Giving Control Back To The User". I looked at the 1st part for my talk.
When users interact with the recommendations served to them, they leave behind fine-grained traces of interaction patterns, which can be leveraged to predict how satisfying their experience was. This talk will present various works and personal thoughts on how to measure user engagement. It will discuss the definition and development of metrics of user satisfaction that can be used as proxy of user engagement, and will include cases of good, bad and ugly scenarios. An important message will be to show that, to make personalization transparent, it is important to consider the heterogeneity of both user and content to formalise the notion of satisfaction, and in turn design the appropriate satisfaction metrics to capture these. One way to do this is to consider the following angles: 1) Understanding intents; 2) Optimizing for the right metric; 3) Acting on segmentation; and 4) Thinking about diversity.
