Event Highlights
- Welcome words from our host – Arpeely

- Ronny Ahituv: Supercharging CTR (Click-Through Rate) with Plug-and-Play AI Capabilities
explore a fully AI-driven pipeline designed to boost click-through rates (CTR) using adaptable, off-the-shelf tools. The pipeline leverages:
Generative AI and genetic algorithms for creating diverse ad creatives.
Contextual multi-armed bandits to select the best creatives based on real-time data, powered by built-in regressors.
ARIMA models to capture and adjust for seasonal trends.
Multimodal embeddings to efficiently handle and cluster high-cardinality features.
This session will demonstrate how integrating readily available AI solutions can help achieve more effective, streamlined CTR optimization.

- Yuval Feinstein: Georgia on my Mind: NLP Meets Social Network Analysis for Exploring New Domains
How do you choose your focus when entering a new domain?
I suggest a method combining social network analysis (SNA) with natural language processing (NLP).
We'll utilize the networkx, spaCy and wikipedia Python packages to get from search terms to insights.

- Mike Erlihson: State-Space Models and Deep Learning: Is there a new revolution on our doorstep?
State-space models (SSMs) have advanced from dynamic system tools to deep learning architectures like Mamba (S6),
which combine parallel training with efficient inference for long sequences. This lecture covers SSMs' evolution and impact on sequential data modeling
