Facebook: Product Optimization with Adaptive Experimentation - F8 2019

Explore adaptive experimentation techniques for product optimization in this 21-minute conference talk from Facebook's F8 2019 event. Learn how Facebook AI applies weakly supervised learning and multimodal understanding at scale to improve computer vision research. Discover the process of raising awareness for blood donation features and the shift from static to personalized configurations. Examine Bayesian models' ability to capture possible realities and their application in optimizing HHVM's Just-In-Time Compiler. Understand how Ax empowers developers to tune configurations and the practical implementation of adaptive experimentation. Gain insights into the adaptive experimentation ecosystem and the flexible research platform Bo Torch for Bayesian optimization.
