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.

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.
