Talk Abstracts:
Machine Learning for Ecommerce Advertising by Jordy Kieto, Machine Learning Engineer at Pepsi: E-Commerce Market Attribution is a framework designed to determine how advertising / marketing affects sales across E-Commerce platforms. Corporations spend millions of dollars advertising on platforms such as Amazon & Instacart. This process is often done manually, and we’re often blind to the impact of our marketing actions. Our neural network quantifies the multiplicative effect of specific ads on sales for specific products, and also allows us to calculate the ROI for particular actions, telling us the optimal amount to spend.
