From the Lab to Production: A Case Study of Session-Based Recommendations in the Home-Improvement Domain
In this paper, we discuss the approach and lessons learned from the process of identifying and deploying a successful session-based recommendation algorithm for a leading e-commerce application in the home-improvement domain.

E-commerce applications rely heavily on session-based recommendation algorithms to improve the shopping experience of their customers. Recent progress in session-based recommendation algorithms shows great promise. However, translating that promise to real-world outcomes is a challenging task for several reasons, but mostly due to the large number and varying characteristics of the available models. In this paper, we discuss the approach and lessons learned from the process of identifying and deploying a successful
session-based recommendation algorithm for a leading e-commerce application in the home-improvement domain. To this end, we initially evaluate fourteen session-based recommendation algorithms in an offline setting using eight different popular evaluation metrics on three datasets

Named Entity Recognition in the Legal Domain
Named entity recognition is a difficult challenge to solve, particularly in the legal domain. Extracting ground truth labels from long, hierarchical documents is often slow and prone to error. RelationalAI proposes a new, scalable algorithm based on the principles of data-centric AI, designed to meet this challenge and generate high-quality annotations with minimal supervision.
