The Jambo Team is psyched to announce that Amazon.com’s former Chief Scientist Dr. Andreas Weigend will be Jambo Networks’ Chief Scientist. At Amazon.com, Andreas was responsible for personalization/recommendations and helped customers identify new items based on their own past behavior and the behavior of others (i.e. if you like this book, you may like this one too. . . ) His expertise is in machine learning, data mining, and discovery algorithms.
At Jambo, Andreas will focus on personalizing the user experience and on enhancing the algorithms matching users. These recommendations matching people together locally is one of the most important aspects of what we do. Andreas has already started working with us, so we will be releasing some exciting new features over the next few months that I can’t wait to tell you about!
