SUMMARY:Unlocking the Power of Transfer Learning: Meeting the Challenge of
  Mobile App Predictions in Data-Scarce Environments - Bending Spoons

DESCRIPTION:We'll explore the world of predictive modelling at Bending Spo
 ons. In our suite of apps\, each with distinct traits\, accurate predictio
 ns on user renewals drive rapid app improvement and translate into increas
 ed profits. However\, for some apps we don't have sufficient data to make 
 reliable predictions. Transfer learning is a technique that can allow pred
 ictive models to learn generic features of all apps\, and fine-tune those 
 models on the unique behaviour of each app. I'll delve into the problems a
 nd potential solutions that empower us to acquire and rapidly scale new ap
 ps to their full potential.\n\n
