Digitalsmiths Workshop: Using Big Data to Enable Personalized Search, Recommendations and Browsing

Today's pay-TV subscribers have approximately 20,000 linear titles and over 80,000 VOD titles available to them over any given 30-day period. To deliver personalized search, recommendations and browsing experiences that will help their subscribers navigate this mountain of content, service providers must first address the data-integrity issues associated with the growing volume, velocity and variety of big data.

This session will discuss the relationship between big data and personalized search, recommendations and browsing experiences, and cover the technology requirements for aggregating, normalizing and leveraging disparate data sources in real time. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of not only how to manage big data, but also how to harness it to personalize the discovery experience in ways that drive
revenue. Presenter:

• Ben Weinberger, CEO, Digitalsmiths
