Abstract: Serving over 150M listeners every month, SoundCloud is the world’s leading audio platform. We have a vibrant community of creators uploading new and unique content every second of the day. To capitalise on the volume and variety of content on the platform, we must rely on a number of tools, techniques and approaches to building products.
In this talk we will present the general framework of how we approach building data products at SoundCloud. We will review two case studies of recent work as examples of applying our approach to the topics of discovering new content with personalised recommendations and applying structured metadata using genre classification.
