WHO WE ARE
Spideo started when cinephiles wanted to build a recommender system
for the movie industry in 2010. Today, we are an established 25 people
diverse and gender balanced company. We’re opening up a Product
Owner/Manager position to accelerate our SaaS strategy for creative
industries (Rumo.co).
We are experts in delivering great Personalization for our global
clients and have a firm conviction that Artificial Intelligence creates
wealth and knowledge when combined with Transparency, fair data Control
and outstanding Human expertise.
WHAT WE DO
In the past, recommender systems have been dominated by collaborative
filtering methods. AI and machine learning are at the core of
recommendation models, and the possibilities are endless when including
heterogeneous content information such as text, images, audio and video.
However, the limit of probabilistic approaches versus what we are
building at Spideo, is their opacity. They behave as black boxes.
Providing explainable predictions is an arduous task. But that’s the
beauty of it. People define themselves by the movies they watch, what
music they listen to, where they travel, and all cultural traits that
make us who we are. This feeling of identification is the main
specificity of cultural and creative industries. Individuals engage
when they can rely on a trusted source that understands who they are,
respects their integrity and their data. We use semantics and natural
language to provide accurate, trustworthy and highly relevant
suggestions.
Backed by 7 years of interactions with our customers, we are driving our product development with two simple statements:
> Explanations matter as much as recommendations.
> Data Protection is a great opportunity for personalization.
