Presentation: Dynamic Moments: Weaving LLMs into Deep Personalization at DoorDash

Sudeep Das, Pradeep Muthukrishnan — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:35:00 GMT

Sudeep Das and Pradeep Muthukrishnan explain the shift from static merchandising to dynamic, moment-aware personalization at DoorDash. They share how LLMs generate natural-language "consumer profiles" and content blueprints, while traditional deep learning handles last-mile ranking. This hybrid approach allows the platform to adapt to short-lived user intent and massive catalog abundance.

Article: Redesigning Banking PDF Table Extraction: A Layered Approach with Java

Mehuli Mukherjee — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 09:00:00 GMT

PDF table extraction often looks easy until it fails in production. Real bank statements can be messy, with scanned pages, shifting layouts, merged cells, and wrapped rows that break standard Java parsers. This article shares how we redesigned the approach using stream parsing, lattice/OCR, validation, scoring, and selective ML to make extraction more reliable in real banking systems.
