Overview: Walmart has multiple susbsidiaries and each one of them generates a unique customer id. Our goal is to identify our customers across channels and provide a 360 degree view of the customer. For example, when a customer shops in walmart store and then happen to login to walmart.com, Walmart must be able to identify that customer as an existing store customer. Not only between stores and online world but also across channels, we need the same capability.

I will also discuss the common technical challenges of executing A/B tests on ML algorithms, such as infrastructure requirements, connecting online and offline metrics, and handling ramp up periods for online learning algorithms. Overall, the goal of this talk will be to motivate ML practitioners to use A/B testing when evaluating their algorithms and provide them with high-level guidelines on how to do it.
