Walmart operates one of the world’s largest private cloud infrastructures on OpenStack.

7:00pm-7:15pm: Retail at Internet Scale – Data Science at Work (Tech Talk)

E-commerce customers expect to be provided with rich, relevant, multi-device shopping experiences, with an ever-increasing product assortment. Naturally, this has accelerated the adoption of data science techniques outside of typical data science-heavy functional areas such as logistics, recommendations, personalization, and product search. In this talk we present some of those areas, with a particular emphasis on pre-purchase events and processes.
