The 34th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) in 2017, took place in Sydney, Australia on August 6-11. ICML is one of the most prestigious conferences in machine learning which covers a wide range of topics in machine...

At Criteo we a run a large-scale recommender system, capable of generating billions of relevant recommendations daily. Deep Learning  provides powerful models that shine when applied to data-rich problems, so we evidently study this class of algorithms in...

Following the success of previous editions, Criteo AI Lab is co-organizing the joint AdKDD & TargetAd workshop in conjunction with KDD 2017. The Workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial practitioners in computational advertising. This year the...

Tell us about your background and how you ended up at Criteo. I started out as an intern building behavioral targeting models in Yahoo Labs and got to experience a variety of exciting applications of machine learning from...

Our researchers enjoyed attending the 5th International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) in Toulon, France.  Criteo AI Lab was a Gold Sponsor of the conference this year.  ICLR ran for three days, covering a variety of topics, including...

Criteo AI Lab announced the Criteo Faculty Research Award (CFRA) program a couple of months ago with the intention of fostering better collaboration in solving complex machine learning challenges in the space of computational advertising. At Criteo AI...

The fifth edition of the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR 2017) is happening in a few days at Toulon, France. ICLR has fast grown to be the conference to attend for anyone working in Deep Learning and...

Our Research Scientists had the privilege to attend the 10th International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM) in Cambridge, UK. The conference lasted 5 days with 3 days dedicated to papers presentations spanning a broad range...

Criteo AI Lab is proud to announce the launch of the Faculty Research Award program. The award is provided as an unrestricted gift to universities engaging in machine learning research. Details on the program are here. The call...

In computational advertising, evaluating click-through rate (CTR) is one of the most important tasks.  The most widely used model for CTR prediction is called logistic regression, which learns a model [latex]\boldsymbol{w}[/latex] by solving the following optimization problem.   where...
