NVIDIA Sweeps KDDCup 2023 Recommender Algorithm Challenge
Today, we're delving into the world of e-commerce data science, focusing on the monumental achievement of the NVIDIA-Merlin team at the Amazon KDD Cup 2023. The challenge? To model customer shopping intentions with a highly complex "Multilingual Shopping Session Dataset," consisting of millions of user sessions from six different locales with a focus on six languages 🌐 The dataset posed a unique challenge, with an imbalance in the distribution of product languages and encouraged the use of transfer learning techniques. The NVIDIA-Merlin team, including Chris Deotte, Benedikt Schifferer, Jean-Francois Puget, Kazuki Onodera, and Gilberto Titericz, took the world by storm, conquering all three tracks of the competition 🏆
The challenge:
1️⃣ How they predicted the next engaged product for sessions from English, German, and Japanese,
2️⃣ Their approach to predicting the next engaged product for sessions from French, Italian, and Spanish,
3️⃣ Their unique method of predicting the title for the next engaged product.
