JobsFrom: RSubject: New York area: Chief Scientist at a well-financed and rapidly growing venture
Opportunity Necessary Skill-sets
Our problem deals with users navigating the Internet space: 1) The users: A user has a finite set of characteristics that are each binary in nature. The user pool approaches fifty million and will continue to grow. While we do not know the specific characteristic assignment of each user, we know the approximate distribution of each characteristic within the user pool at large. 2) The world: The Internet is an ever-changing and dynamic system. 3) Observable actions: We can view user behavior on the Internet through click-stream data, but we are limited to an incomplete view for specific domains only. 4) The test set: We have a test dataset containing both the characteristics of each user as well as a complete view of each user�s click-stream behavior. Question: How do we return the X users most likely to have a particular characteristic, where X must exceed 2 million?
Orientation Due to high market demand for our capability, the Chief Scientist will need to have an orientation towards implementation, not long-term theoretical research.
