Enabling Cross-Screen Advertising with Machine Learning and Spark

With content now viewed seamlessly across multiple screens, this shift in consumer behavior/consumption has come to a head with the way advertising is sold - separately in TV and online silos - creating an opportunity to make advertising more effective using data and machine learning. This talk explores technological developments at VideoAmp that bring together data from disparate mediums and creates cross-screen audience models using ML methods for cross-screen bid optimization, and graph based audience models for 150 Million users, across over a billion unique device IDs, as well as behavioral insights gleaned from observing such a large variety of data.
