Title: Creating Listener Segments at Pandora
Author(s): Sam Lendle*
Companies: Pandora
Keywords: sample survey ; misisng data ; covariate shift ; classification
Abstract:

Pandora provides advertisers with proprietary listener segments to better target their audience. Using survey data as ground truth, we classify millions of users based on listening behavior. Viewing this as a missing data problem, we use an inverse probability weighted loss function to correct for survey sample bias. We describe an example segment task and discuss challenges in the implementation.
