The document discusses principles of information architecture and search design. It describes several design patterns for improving search experiences, including auto-complete, best first search results, federated search across multiple sources, and faceted navigation to refine results. The document advocates for applying principles like progressive disclosure, immediate feedback, and direct manipulation to create intuitive, usable search interfaces.

Plan, Adapt, Emerge: Unthinkable keynote to the Arts Marketing Associationlifestooshorter
Justin Spooner & Matthew Shorter from Unthinkable were invited to give the keynote speech to the Arts Marketing Association's Digital Day on 22 November 2012. They invited us to speak about content strategy, and we took the opportunity to outline our thoughts about the balance between planning, adaptation and allowing room for emergence in the creation of digital strategies. These slides will make sense as an aide-memoire to those who were present, and we hope to supplement them in the near future with notes that will make sense of them to everyone else.

How to eliminate ideas as soon as possibleRoman Zykov
Retail Rocket helps web shoppers make better shopping decisions by providing personalized real-time recommendations through multiple channels with over 100MM unique monthly users and 1000+ retail partners. The rapid improvement of the product is important to win on the high-concurrency market of real-time personalization platforms.
The necessity of introducing constant innovations and improvements of algorithms for recommendation systems requires correct tools and a process of rapid testing of hypotheses. It’s not a secret that 9 out of 10 hypotheses actually do not improve the performance at least. We had the task stated as follows: How to detect and eliminate the idea that doesn’t improve as early as possible, to spend a minimum of resources on that process.
In the report we will talk about:
How we make our process of hypotheses testing faster.
One programming language for R&D.
Enmity and friendship of offline and online metrics.
Why it is difficult to predict the impact of changing diversity of algorithms.
What is the benefit of AA/BB online tests.
Bayesian statistics for the evaluation of online tests.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Roman Zykov is the Chief Data Scientist at the Retail Rocket. In Retail Rocket is responsible for algorithms of personalized and non-personalized recommendations. Previous to Retail Rocket, Roman was the Head of analytics at the biggest e-commerce companies for almost ten years. He received Ms.Sc. in applied mathematics and physics from the MIPhT in 2004.
Электронная коммерция: от Hadoop к Spark ScalaRoman Zykov
Как обрабатывать большой объем данных быстро с наименьшими затратами? Мы смогли этого добиться в компании
RetailRocket. Обработка данных – это наш бизнес! У нас много данных: более 100 Тбайт, в сутки нам поступает более 100 млн
событий для обработки. До недавнего времени у нас все работало на кластере на базе Hadoop относительно устаревшего
дистрибутива Cloudera CDH 4.5, программный код был написан на Pig, Hive, Python и Java. Это порождало ряд проблем с
архитектурой, производительностью. Тестирование превращалось в настоящую головную боль. В конце лета RetailRocket
перешел на Yarn на базе CDH 5.1.2. Это открыло путь к более совершенным технологиям семейства Spark. Сейчас мы
находимся в фазе полного перехода на Spark на функциональном языке Scala. Это позволило нам избавиться от зоопарка
технологий, упростив архитектуру решений и автоматизировав тестирование. Первые результаты не заставили себя ждать –
получен прирост производительности на том же железе в три-пять раз. А это значит, что мы будем меньше инвестировать в
расширение парка серверов кластера. В докладе будет рассказано о проблемах, с которыми мы столкнулись, и о том как мы
их решили. Будут примеры исходного кода для оптимизации производительности и повышения удобства работы, который мы
закоммитили в наш публичный GitHub
сервисы персонализации на основе данныхRoman Zykov
Персонализация как сервис на основе данных
Персонализация на основе данных о пользователях играет все большую роль в аналитических CRM системах. Самым первым шагом важно понять, какой продукт или сервис на основе данных вы готовы предложить своим клентам. Далее в докладе будут рассмотрены следующие вопросы:
Достаточно ли у вас данных для персонализации продукта?
Как оценить успешность проекта по персонализации?
Как подружить аналитический и операционный CRM?
Какие основные причины провала таких проектов?
Самостоятельная разработка или outsource?
Насколько важен вопрос правильных технологий?
Где место сегментации клиентов?
В докладе будут вкратце разобраны некоторые примеры российских и зарубежных компаний.
Этот доклад я презентовал на конференции BI тренды 11 октября 2012 года в Москве. http://events.cnews.ru/events/programm/bi_instrumenty_v_rossii__poslednie_trendy.shtml

There is one timeless way of building.
It is thousands of years old, and the same
today as it has always been.
The great traditional buildings of the past,
the villages and tents and temples in
which man feels at home, have always
been made by people who were very close
to the center of this way.
It is not possible to make great buildings,
or great towns, beautiful places, places
where you feel yourself, places where you
feel alive, except by following this way.
And, as you will see, this way will lead
anyone who looks for it to buildings
which are themselves as ancient in
their form, as the trees and hills,
and as our faces are.
The Timeless Way of Building

“When a unique identifier is
attached to an object, it
becomes possible to collect the
metadata about that object into
a single information shadow.”
“The unique identifier is the
leverage point with which to
access and manipulate the
whole information shadow in
relation to similar shadows.”
While Kuniavsky advises that we view information as one of many design
materials (like wood and carbon fiber) from which devices can be made, he
also highlights its role as “the core material in creating user experiences.”
