In this episode of Data Skeptic, we dive deep into the technical foundations of building modern recommender systems. Unlike traditional machine learning classification problems where you can simply apply XGBoost to tabular data, recommender systems require sophisticated hybrid approaches that combine multiple techniques. Our guest, Boya Xu, an assistant professor of marketing at Virginia Tech, walks us through a cutting-edge method that integrates three key components: collaborative filtering for dimensionality reduction, embeddings to represent users and items in latent space, and bandit learning to balance exploration and exploitation when deploying new recommendations. Boya shares insights from her research on how recommender systems impact both consumers and content creators across e-commerce and social media platforms. We explore critical challenges like the cold start problem—how to make good recommendations for brand new users—and discuss how her approach uses demographic information to create informative priors that accelerate learning. The conversation also touches on algorithmic fairness, revealing how her method reduces bias between majority and minority (niche preference) users by incorporating active learning through bandit algorithms. Whether you're interested in the mathematics of recommendation engines or the broader implications for digital platforms, this episode offers a comprehensive look at the state-of-the-art in recommender system design.

In ths special edition of the Gold & Blue Breakdown Show, Couz and Jonathan will talk about the class and give an overview. They will touch on the surprises, some last minute flips, and some disappointments along the way. Four-star safety Matt Sieg was one of the major surprises of the class. Rich Rodriguez and WVU were able to flip the former Penn State commit at the last minute, even though he did not even take an official visit to Morgantown. The guys will touch on that and how WVU was able to get him away from schools like Pitt and Virginia Tech. West Virginia signed three quarterbacks in the class. Is that too many? Does that symoblize their future plans at the position? The guys will discuss that as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Penn State coaching search is a disaster. Where does Penn State go? Brian Hartline goes to USF and Kalani Sitake is staying at BYU. WPIAL legend Matt Sieg was going to pick between Pitt and Virginia Tech, but committed to West Virginia. Pat Freiermuth is frustrated with his lack of snaps and lack of targets.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani: The Penn State coaching search is a disaster. Where does Penn State go? WPIAL legend Matt Sieg was going to pick between Pitt and Virginia Tech, but committed to West Virginia! Pat Freiermuth is frustrated with his lack of snaps and lack of targets. There is a real chance that Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow could all miss the playoffs. The Penguins should trade Tristan Jarry to play Sergei Murashov and Arturs Silovs.

Something else Ben Roethlisberger suggested was Mike Tomlin going to Penn State. After Tomlin was asked about coaching at the college level a few years ago, we can say pretty confidently that this won't happen. Would Tomlin want to do everything that is required to be a college coach? The guys questioned if Tomlin would be as good at recruiting as everyone assumes. James Franklin happily trolled Penn State on X after pulling in a pretty good first recruiting class at Virginia Tech. We are enjoying the fall from grace in real time from State College.

Jeff Brohm is the latest college football coach to stay put instead of going to Happy Valley to become the HC at Penn State. Something else Ben Roethlisberger suggested was Mike Tomlin going to Penn State. After Tomlin was asked about coaching at the college level a few years ago, we can say pretty confidently that this won't happen. Would Tomlin want to do everything that is required to be a college coach? The guys questioned if Tomlin would be as good at recruiting as everyone assumes. James Franklin happily trolled Penn State on X after pulling in a pretty good first recruiting class at Virginia Tech. We are enjoying the fall from grace in real time from State College. In how many years with Ben Roethlisberger did Mike Tomlin make a ‘deep' run in the playoffs? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said something just feels different this time with the Steelers in regards to Mike Tomlin being back next season. He referenced the times changing a bit and them going about their business differently the last few years in the off-season. Mike said the Steelers are stuck in a rut with a lot of people making a lot of money. Mike thinks Art Rooney II will sit back on this until he starts noticing more and more empty seats in the stadium because that means dollars lost. He said if he was a season-ticket holder, he would not attend the next home game (MNF 12/15 vs MIA) if they lose in an ugly way to the Ravens on Sunday. Mike thinks it's a complicated reality with coaches thinking about the greener pastures that could be out there. Could Mike see Penn State making a play for Tomlin? Mike talked about the current cycle of coaches in the NFL and another reason why Tomlin might be the hottest candidate out there if he and the Steelers move on. Mike said we don't know for sure that the Giants are interested, but there is some dot-connecting being done.

Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Newport Hospitality Group, Whitney Altizer, joins the Suite Spot in the latest episode of TMG Hospitality Trailblazers to give audiences a close look at what makes the Newport portfolio and brand unique in the hospitality industry and why social media is critical to a hotel's success in the digital age. Ryan Embree: Welcome to Suite Spot, where hoteliers check in, and we check out what's trending in hotel marketing. I'm your host, Ryan Embree. Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of The Suite Spot. This is your host, Ryan Embree. Welcome to another edition of our TMG Hospitality Trailblazers series. I got a fantastic guest. We actually had an opportunity to meet with someone from the, the Newport Hospitality Group just a couple weeks ago at the Hospitality Show, but we got a brand new guest here with us today, senior Vice President, Chief Commercial Officer, Whitney Altizer. Whitney, thank you so much for joining the Suite Spot today with me. Whitney Altizer: Hey, Ryan, thanks so much for having me. Appreciate it. Ryan Embree: We're gonna have a fun conversation today. A lot of exciting stuff and news about Newport Hospitality, but as tradition here on the Suite Spot, hospitality, as we know, is one of those things where people can come from all different places, brands, management companies, and unique journeys that led you to where you are. So let's hear about yours, Whitney. Talk to us a little bit about your hospitality journey and what led you to Chief Commercial Officer at Newport Hospitality Group. Whitney Altizer: Yeah. Well, I always joke that Newport raised me. You know, I went to Virginia Tech for business and hospitality, and then I moved to Atlanta and worked with Darden restaurants for a stint. You know, and I love the experience, but I just decided I needed a new perspective on food and beverage and the industry in general. So I ended up back in Blacksburg at a full service Holiday Inn that Newport actually owned and managed at the time. So 22 years ago, I walked into that Holiday Inn as a director of catering and sales, worked there on property, and then, moved up to the corporate director of sales, a corporate revenue manager. Then I was the director of Revenue and Digital. Then came along the Vice President of Comms Stratt, which catapulted me to where I am today which is the Chief Commercial Officer. Ryan Embree: Your story is a genuine reflection of our industry, of how many facets there are to hospitality, from everything from food and beverage to sales, to all the positions that you, that you held in, in between. You know, it's one of the reasons a lot of people love hospitality is because you can really do anything within it, right? It's almost its own ecosystem within our industry, and it's really cool to see, and I'm sure that was, you had some incredible experience, which lends you to where you are right now and knowing different people's positions. That's what we hear is sometimes the most successful hospitality people are the ones that got exposure to those different aspects of hospitality and kind of use that in their experience today. Some of those, hospitality professionals maybe even had to, you know, during that, that 2020 era had to get into some of those departments that they hadn't done in a minute, and certainly shared some experience there. But, we won't talk about that time, but doing some research for this episode, I wanna talk about Newport Hospitality and their story. Right? I always find it so fascinating when we talk about to these management companies and brands about how they first got into hospitality and fun little facts. That the origin story really dates back all the way to the 1850s. It goes back way, way far. Could you give a little background on the early days, maybe not take us that far, but a little bit early days of Newport Hospitality and how it's led to the amazing growth that you gu...

“You can't put a price on life!” say politicians, pretending to be compassionate, spending other people's money.But Kenneth Feinberg, Special Master of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, says you CAN put a price on life.

In this electrifying episode of Hardcore Penn State Football, we celebrate a resilient Senior Day triumph as the Nittany Lions claw back with a 27-20 victory over Nebraska on November 22nd at Beaver Stadium—boosting Penn State to 5-6 and keeping faint bowl hopes alive in a season of upheaval! We start with a full recap of the gritty win: Ethan Grunkemeyer's poised performance stepping in at QB, going an efficient 11/12 for 181 yards and a touchdown, the defense's crucial 4th down stops, and how the ground game powered through. Then, we spotlight the historic milestones: RB Kaytron Allen shattering the all-time career rushing yards record with a 160-yard outburst, surpassing Evan Royster's mark in emotional fashion. Plus, RB Nick Singleton's two-score day tying Saquon Barkley's legendary all-time touchdowns record—could he break it in the finale? Finally, the big debate: With James Franklin now at Virginia Tech, should interim head coach Terry Smith—a PSU lifer with recruiting chops and defensive expertise—get the full-time gig? We weigh his steady hand in this turnaround win against other candidates like Lincoln Riley, Bob Chesney, Kalen DeBoer, and Brent Key, plus fan polls and insider buzz.

On their weekly Penn State football podcast, host Adam Bittner and Post-Gazette/Daily Collegian Nittany Lions insider Isaiah Maldonando tackle the latest buzz from the coaching search to replace James Franklin. This show is presented by FanDuel. Does interim coach Terry Smith have momentum after the home win against Nebraska? With many players and fans vocally supporting him? Why is there so much buzz around James Madison's Bob Chesney? Would he really be an upgrade on Franklin? And why do the rumors around Alabama's Kalen DeBoer not seem to be going away? Is there real smoke there? Or are Penn State fans wishcasting for a plausible big name to take over? Our duo tackles those questions; Franklin's arrival at Virginia Tech and his early recruiting win against Penn State with four-star prospect Messiah Mickens; Ethan Grunkemeyer's growth at QB; the regular season finale at Rutgers; and Nick Singleton's pursuit of the program touchdown record.

On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock discusses how the Dallas Cowboys played last night and showed signs of life against the Los Angeles Raiders. While there would typically be chatter about the game and its implications for the season, social media remains fixated on Shedeur Sanders. Whitlock likens Sanders to a black Tim Tebow in the way he overshadows the NFL and also analogizes him to late rapper Tupac Shakur. Former NFL quarterback Danny Kanell joins the show to discuss Shedeur Sanders' debut for the Browns last weekend and makes predictions about him starting in Cleveland's upcoming game against the Raiders. Whitlock and Kanell also discuss Ja'Marr Chase being suspended for one game for spitting on Jalen Ramsey; Michael Penix suffering another injury that could be the fifth to end his season in eight years; Seth Joyner hinting that the Eagles might over their heads with Jalen Hurts at QB; Virginia Tech hiring James Franklin; whether Ole Miss Coach Lane Kiffin is a true difference-maker; and Bomani Jones being outraged by the Texas A&M state trooper incident and tying it to police brutality.
