• Predict whether someone will have a heart attack on the basis
of demographic, diet and clinical measurements
• Identify the risk factors for prostate cancer (lpsa), based on clinical
and demographic variables.
ESL Chap1 - Introduction
• Classify a recorded phoneme, based on a log-periodogram.
A restricted model
(red) does much
better than an
unrestricted one

• Customize an email spam detection system.
X = which words appear and how much
Y = Spam or not?
• Identify the numbers in a handwritten zip code, from a digitized image
X = color of each pixel
Y = which digit is it?
• Classify a tissue sample into one of several cancer classes, based on a
gene expression profile.
X = expression levels of genes
Y = which cancer?
• Classify the pixels in a LANDSAT image, according to usage:
Y = {red soil, cotton, vegetation stubble, mixture, gray soil, damp gray
soil, very damp gray soil}
X = values of pixels in several wavelength bands
October 2006 Announcement
of the NETFLIX Competition
USAToday headline:
“Netflix offers $1 million prize for better movie recommendations”

•
Beat NETFLIX current recommender model ‘Cinematch’ by 10% based on
absolute rating error prior to 2011
$50K for the annual progress price (relative to baseline)
Data contains a subset of 100 million movie ratings from NETFLIX including
480,189 users and 17,770 movies
Performance is evaluated on holdout movies-users pairs
NETFLIX competition has attracted 45878 contestants on 37660 teams from
180 different countries
Tens of thousands of valid submissions from thousands of teams
Conclusion: in 2009, an international team attained the goal and won the
prize! More later…

Netflix and us
• We will have a modeling challenge in our course which will use the
Netflix data. The winners will get a grade boost!
• The $1M was won in 2009 by a collaboration of several leading
teams
– The strongest team, which won both yearly $50K prizes, was founded at
AT&T, with an Israeli participant (Yehuda Koren)
– Yehuda was one of the major driving forces on the final winning team
– He is now back in Israel, and may come give us a talk!
• While I was at IBM Research, our team won a related competition in
KDD-Cup 2007 (same data, more “standard” modeling tasks)
– We may have a “case study” lecture on that as well
