Abstract:

There will be 2 independent parts to the talk: In the first part, I will present some algorithms and results of applying matrix factorization techniques to computer vision. The second part will describe large-scale AI-based defenses to identify fraudulent entities in online ad traffic. I will present deep learning based solutions to supervised and unsupervised use cases from the advertising domain. Along the way, I will also discuss how we handle some practical challenges faced in creating such systems.
