Luuk Kaandorp

My name is Luuk Kaandorp, 25 years old, and I've been working at Albert Heijn as a Data Scientist in the Search time for about 1.5 years. I previously did a Bachelor in Information Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), and a Master in Artificial Intelligence at the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA). During my master's, I specialised mainly in Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval. After my master's thesis on Diversity in Personlised News Recommendations at RTL, I joined Albert Heijn as my first full-time job. Since then, I've been trying to apply all the knowledge I gained during my studies on the product search domain, to deliver our customers with the most relevant search experience on our website and app.

The Power of the Bonus Card: Road to Personalised Search
Luuk Kaandorp, Vincent Peijnenburg

Everyone is unique, and that is especially true for what they eat. At Albert Heijn, we are moving away from popularity-based search for the broader customer base, in favor of tailoring search to our unique customers' tastes. We will tell you all about this transition.
