Jacopo Tagliabue on Recommender Systems

On April 20, Jacopo Tagliabue joined us at Arthur HQ to talk about the recommender systems, MLOps, and his recent research which sits at the intersection of language, learning, and retrieval.

Educated in several acronyms across the globe (UNISR, SFI, MIT), Jacopo was co-founder and CTO of Tooso, a NLP startup in San Francisco acquired by TSX:CVO. He led Coveo’s A.I. and MLOps roadmap from scale-up to IPO, and built out Coveo Labs, an applied R&D practice rooted in collaboration (Stanford, Outerbounds, Netflix, Farfetch, Microsoft, NVIDIA), open source and open science.

Co-creator of the RecList library for trustworthy evaluation of recommender systems, his research work appeared in venues such as NAACL, RecSys, WWW, SIGIR. While building his new company, he is teaching ML Systems at NYU, which is mostly notable because it is the only job he ever had that his parents understand.
