Causal personalization?
Dima did not love computers enough to forget about his passion for understanding people.
His work at Booking.com focuses on recommender systems and personalization, and their intersection with AB testing, constrained optimization and causal inference.
Dima's passion for building things started early in his childhood and continues up to this day, but recent events in his life also bring new opportunities to learn.
In the episode, we discuss:

What can we learn about human psychology from building causal recommender systems?
What it's like to work in a culture of radical experimentation?
Why you should not skip your operations research classes?
