Netflix Prize – The Ensemble interview

There are two teams that beat the 10% improvement goal set by the Netflix Prize – million dollar challenge. Tonight, I had the great pleasure to chat with four members of The Ensemble team. Thanks to Lester Mackey, Joe Sill, Ces Bertino, and Bo Yang for a wonderful chat. (note: links from team bio page)

It will take me some time to process the audio recording, research and write up this interview. I will try to post it soon. Stay tune.

Here is a link to a New York Times article, “Netflix Competitors Learn the Power of Teamwork“

Here is Lester’s recount the “Final Submission Countdown“.
