Deep Learning for Recommender Systems
(Presented at the Deep Learning Re-Work SF Summit on 01/25/2018)
In this talk, we go through the traditional recommendation systems set-up, and show that deep learning approaches in that set-up don't bring a lot of extra value. We then focus on different ways to leverage these techniques, most of which relying on breaking away from that traditional set-up; through providing additional data to your recommendation algorithm, modeling different facets of user/item interactions, and most importantly re-framing the recommendation problem itself. In particular we show a few results obtained by casting the problem as a contextual sequence prediction task, and using it to model time (a very important dimension in most recommendation systems).

Lessons Learned from Building Machine Learning Software at Netflix
Talk from Software Engineering for Machine Learning Workshop (SW4ML) at the Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) 2014 conference in Montreal, Canada on 2014-12-13.
Abstract:
Building a real system that incorporates machine learning as a part can be a difficult effort, both in terms of the algorithmic and engineering challenges involved. In this talk I will focus on the engineering side and discuss some of the practical issues we’ve encountered in developing real machine learning systems at Netflix and some of the lessons we’ve learned over time. I will describe our approach for building machine learning systems and how it comes from a desire to balance many different, and sometimes conflicting, requirements such as handling large volumes of data, choosing and adapting good algorithms, keeping recommendations fresh and accurate, remaining responsive to user actions, and also being flexible to accommodate research and experimentation. I will focus on what it takes to put machine learning into a real system that works in a feedback loop with our users and how that imposes different requirements and a different focus than doing machine learning only within a lab environment. I will address the particular software engineering challenges that we’ve faced in running our algorithms at scale in the cloud. I will also mention some simple design patterns that we’ve fond to be useful across a wide variety of machine-learned systems.

Déjà Vu: The Importance of Time and Causality in Recommender Systems
This document discusses the importance of time and causality in recommender systems. It summarizes that (1) time and causality are critical aspects that must be considered in data collection, experiment design, algorithms, and system design. (2) Recommender systems operate within a feedback loop where the recommendations influence future user behavior and data, so effects like reinforcement of biases can occur. (3) Both offline and online experimentation are needed to properly evaluate systems and generalization over time.
An introduction to Recommender Systems
Recommender systems are software agents that analyze a user's preferences through transactions and provide personalized recommendations accordingly. There are several recommendation paradigms including non-personalized rules, personalized rules based on user data, and transaction-based collaborative filtering that learns from user interactions. Context-based recommender systems also consider additional information like time, location, or device to provide adaptive recommendations. Common techniques used in recommender systems include content-based filtering that recommends similar items, collaborative filtering that finds users with similar tastes, and demographic-based recommendations.
Making Netflix Machine Learning Algorithms Reliable
This document discusses making Netflix machine learning algorithms reliable. It describes how Netflix uses machine learning for tasks like personalized ranking and recommendation. The goals are to maximize member satisfaction and retention. The models and algorithms used include regression, matrix factorization, neural networks, and bandits. The key aspects of making the models reliable discussed are: automated retraining of models, testing training pipelines, checking models and inputs online for anomalies, responding gracefully to failures, and training models to be resilient to different conditions and failures.

Calibrated Recommendations
This document proposes a calibrated recommendations approach that aims to provide recommendations that reflect all of a user's interests in correct proportions. Standard recommender systems trained for accuracy can lead to unbalanced recommendations that amplify a user's main interests and crowd out lesser interests. The calibrated recommendations approach uses a post-processing re-ranking step to optimize a submodular calibration metric, balancing accuracy and fairness by recommending items from all a user's interests in their correct proportions. Experiments on MovieLens data show that calibration can be improved significantly without degrading accuracy much.
Artwork Personalization at Netflix Fernando Amat RecSys2018
For many years, the main goal of the Netflix personalized recommendation system has been to get the right titles in front of our members at the right time. But the job of recommendation does not end there. The homepage should be able to convey to the member enough evidence of why a title may be good for her, especially for shows that the member has never heard of. One way to address this challenge is to personalize the way we portray the titles on our service. An important aspect of how to portray titles is through the artwork or imagery we display to visually represent each title. The artwork may highlight an actor that you recognize, capture an exciting moment like a car chase, or contain a dramatic scene that conveys the essence of a movie or show. It is important to select good artwork because it may be the first time a member becomes aware of a title (and sometimes the only time), so it must speak to them in a meaningful way. In this talk, we will present an approach for personalizing the artwork we use on the Netflix homepage. The system selects an image for each member and video to give better visual evidence for why the title might be appealing to that particular member.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
