- Model Performance Monitoring & Improvement: Implement tools for real-time model monitoring, evaluate performance, and drive continuous improvements to models and pipelines
- Experimentation & Innovation: Explore emerging ML techniques, deep learning methods, and advanced algorithms to enhance model capabilities and introduce new solutions
- Knowledge Sharing & Mentorship: Present findings to stakeholders (both technical and non-technical) and contribute to the development of best practices. Mentor junior team members and foster a collaborative team environment
- Continuous Learning: Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies in data science and machine learning to identify new opportunities and techniques
Our take
Powered by artificial intelligence, Qloo is aiming to understanding taste and cultural correlations. While giants like Spotify, Expedia and Netflix dominate their sectors, they inadvertently create "data silos", where valuable information remains isolated. A unified system, however, could help understand and predict diverse personal tastes across various domains.
To confront this, Qloo provides companies with AI-generated correlation data spanning numerous cultural and entertainment domains. Leveraging its platform, a user's taste in one category or genre can seamlessly inform recommendations in another, leading to more personalized experiences. For example, Starbucks is using Qloo to create in-store music playlists tailored to specific neighborhoods, enhancing customer engagement.
With an influx in funding over 2023 and 2024, Qloo plans to introduce an accessible self-service interface, aiding small and mid-sized enterprises in charting consumer and taste analytics. Additionally, it has introduced the "multi-person recommendation AI", capable of matching profiles based on individual preferences stored in its database, which further solidifies its position as a leader in personalized recommendation solutions.
