  • Online Experimentation at Microsoft
    This is a public version of a Microsoft ThinkWeek paper that was recognized as top-30 in late 2009 Online Experimentation at Microsoft Ronny Kohavi Thomas Crook Roger Longbotham [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Brian Frasca Randy Henne Juan Lavista Ferres Tamir Melamed [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Controlled experiments, also called randomized experiments and A/B tests, have had a profound influence on multiple fields, including medicine, agriculture, manufacturing, and advertising. Through randomization and proper design, experiments allow establishing causality scientifically, which is why they are the gold standard in drug tests. In software development, multiple techniques are used to define product requirements; controlled experiments provide a valuable way to assess the impact of new features on customer behavior. At Microsoft, we have built the capability for running controlled experiments on web sites and services, thus enabling a more scientific approach to evaluating ideas at different stages of the planning process. In our previous papers, we did not have good examples of controlled experiments at Microsoft; now we do! The humbling results we share bring to question whether a-priori prioritization is as good as most people believe it is. The Experimentation Platform (ExP) was built to accelerate innovation through trustworthy experimentation. Along the way, we had to tackle both technical and cultural challenges and we provided software developers, program managers, and designers the benefit of an unbiased ear to listen to their customers and make data-driven decisions. A technical survey of the literature on controlled experiments was recently published by us in a journal (Kohavi, Longbotham, Sommerfield, & Henne, 2009).

  • Linkedin Corporation 10-K
    10APR201419231192 April 2016 To Our Stockholders: In 2015, we delivered a strong year of innovation focused on further connecting our members and customers to opportunity. For members, we made significant progress by focusing on two core value propositions: staying connected and informed, and advancing members’ careers. • In December, we launched our re-imagined flagship mobile application, the culmination of a year-long focus to create a dramatically simplified core LinkedIn experience. Since launch, we have seen meaningful increases in feed engagement, messages sent, and content interaction. • With respect to careers, we spent much of the year working on fundamental building blocks including doubling the number of jobs on LinkedIn to more than six million, improving jobs relevance, and re-launching the jobs experience on the desktop. This work resulted in a significant increase in overall engagement with jobs throughout 2015 compared to 2014. For customers, we focused on innovating the core value drivers in each product line: • Within Hiring, we announced the re-launch of Recruiter, the first full refresh of our flagship product since its original launch. The new Recruiter will rollout to customers throughout 2016 alongside the new Referrals product. The goal is that these products will further strengthen and extend our competitive position within the talent acquisition space in the coming years. • Within Marketing Solutions, Sponsored Updates increasingly evolved into the core of our advertising business, contributing approximately half of total ad revenue in 2015. Digital marketing remains a fast-evolving and competitive landscape, evidenced by the significant decline in our display ad revenue in 2015. To that end, we believe our primary focus on Sponsored Updates will continue to make LinkedIn the most effective platform for marketers to engage professionals.
