What do "Software Developer", "MTS", and "Code Monkey" have in common? No, it's not the start to a bad joke. It's actually a situation where many unique entities turn out to have a small number of distinct semantics. This talk will present new techniques for mapping millions of such entities into a common semantic space with just a few thousand labels. We'll discuss how these techniques have been applied to job titles, skills, majors, and degrees to build candidate recommendation systems.

Vlad is a Sr Director at Workday responsible for building prediction and recommendation systems for the company's cloud HR and Financial Management products. He was previously CTO at Identified, a data and analytics startup, which was acquired by Workday in early 2014. Vlad holds a Bachelor's in Computer Science from UC Berkeley.
