Enhancing User Experience Using AI for Adaptive A/B Testing
When and Where
Speakers
Description
This talk will consider how we can continuously enhance and personalize any real interface using AI for adaptive A/B testing. The use of Bayesian multi-armed bandit algorithms to automatically conduct and improve A/B testing, as well as the necessary statistical techniques to analyze and draw valid inferences from this data will be discussed. Illustrations for using AI for social good by incorporating cognitive, social, and clinical psychology, in learning on mental and physical health will be provided. The application of these techniques to solving business problems, such as improving websites, emails, recommender systems and other specific user interfaces and products will also be discussed.
