Machine learning powers a range of features at Spotify, including the Discover page, the radio feature, and much more. We will go through how Spotify uses collaborative filtering for music recommendations, and in particular how we use a lot of latent factor models. We will also discuss a lot of real-world challenges around how to optimize for user engagement, how to learn from user feedback, and how to scale algorithms to 100s of billions of data points.
