INSEAD Lunchtime Talks - How Lazada uses Data
Eugene Yan
A Lazada VP of Data Science spoke at INSEAD about how the e-commerce platform applies machine learning to business problems, including two case studies in automated review classification and product ranking. The review classification system reduced manual work by over 90% and saved five figures monthly, while product ranking improved conversion rates by 3-8% and revenue by 5-20%. The talk also covered the speaker's career path in data science and practical advice for students interested in the field.
