Hitachi Vantara believes DataOps is the next big wave to hit the IT sector because it can unleash the FULL power and potential of your employees and/or customers and your data. Imagine the number of potential transformations that didn’t come to fruition because 97.5% of your data never made it into the hands of your team. With DataOps these scenarios will be a thing of the past, because your employees and/or customers will be empowered with the right data at the right time. This session is about DataOps, delivering the right data, to the right place at right time to the right person. DataOps achieves the promise of analytics, machine learning, and AI to transform operations and drive innovation. The presentation will go into what DataOps is and how we as Hitachi Vantara solve the DataOps challenges. The demonstration is targeted to the cooperation between data engineers, data scientists and business analysts to remove bottlenecks in training, tuning, testing and deploying predictive models at one side and monitoring, evaluating, comparing and rebuilding these models. Model accuracy degrades over time; monitoring and switching models is cumbersome. Hitachi Pentaho can help here.

Over 90% of today's data was generated in the last 2 years, and the rate of data growth isn't slowing down. In this session, we'll step through the challenges and best practices on how to capture all the data that is being generated, understand what data you have, and start driving insights and even predict the future using purpose built AWS Services. We'll frame the session around common pitfalls of building Data Lakes and how to successful drive analytics and insights from the data. This session will focus on the architecture patterns bringing together key AWS Services and rather than a deep dive on any single service. We'll show how services such as Amazon S3, AWS Glue, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, Amazon Kinesis, and even Amazon Machine Learning services are put together to build a successful data lake for various role including both data scientists and business users.

Big Data means big hardware, and the less of it we can use to do the job properly, the better the bottom line. Apache Kafka makes up the core of our data pipelines at many organizations, including LinkedIn, and we are on a perpetual quest to squeeze as much as we can out of our systems, from Zookeeper, to the brokers, to the various client applications. This means we need to know how well the system is running, and only then can we start turning the knobs to optimize it. In this talk, we will explore how best to monitor Kafka and its clients to assure they are working well. Then we will dive into how to get the best performance from Kafka, including how to pick hardware and the effect of a variety of configurations in both the broker and clients. We’ll also talk about setting up Kafka for no data loss.

Over the past year, the POLITICO team has developed a recommendation system for our users, which recommends not only news content to read but also news topics to subscribe to. This talk will discuss our development path, including dead-ends and performance trade-offs. In the end, the team produced a system based on search technology (in our case, Elasticsearch) and refined by machine learning techniques to achieve a balance between personalization and serendipity.

With the advent of deep learning and algorithms like word2vec and doc2vec, vectors-based representations are increasingly being used in search to represent anything from documents to images and products. However, search engines work with documents made of tokens, and not vectors, and are typically not designed for fast vector matching out of the box. In this talk, I will give an overview of how vectors can be derived from documents to produce a semantic representation of a document that can be used to implement semantic / conceptual search without hurting performance. I will then describe a few different techniques for efficiently searching vector-based representations in an inverted index, including LSH, vector quantization and k-means tree, and compare their performance in terms of speed and relevancy. Finally, I will describe how each technique can be implemented efficiently in a lucene-based search engine such as Solr or Elastic Search.

To optimally interpret most natural language queries, it is necessary to understand the phrases, entities, commands, and relationships represented or implied within the search. Knowledge graphs serve as useful instantiations of ontologies which can help represent this kind of knowledge within a domain. In this talk, we'll walk through techniques to build knowledge graphs automatically from your own domain-specific content, how you can update and edit the nodes and relationships, and how you can seamlessly integrate them into your search solution for enhanced query interpretation and semantic search. We'll have some fun with some of the more search-centric use cased of knowledge graphs, such as entity extraction, query expansion, disambiguation, and pattern identification within our queries: for example, transforming the query "bbq near haystack" into { filter:["doc_type":"restaurant"], "query": { "boost": { "b": "recip(geodist(38.034780,-78.486790),1,1000,1000)", "query": "bbq OR barbeque OR barbecue" } } } We'll also specifically cover use of the Semantic Knowledge Graph, a particularly interesting knowledge graph implementation available within Apache Solr that can be auto-generated from your own domain-specific content and which provides highly-nuanced, contextual interpretation of all of the terms, phrases and entities within your domain. We'll see a live demo with real world data demonstrating how you can build and apply your own knowledge graphs to power much more relevant query understanding within your search engine.

For e-commerce applications, matching users with the items they want is the name of the game. If they can't find what they want then how can they buy anything?! Typically this functionality is provided through search and browse experience. Search allows users to type in text and match against the text of the items in the inventory. Browse allows users to select filters and slice-and-dice the inventory down to the subset they are interested in. But with the shift toward mobile devices, no one wants to type anymore - thus browse is becoming dominant in the e-commerce experience. But there's a problem! What if your inventory is not categorized? Perhaps your inventory is user generated or generated by external providers who don't tag and categorize the inventory. No categories and no tags means no browse experience and missed sales. You could hire an army of taxonomists and curators to tag items - but training and curation will be expensive. You can demand that your providers tag their items and adhere to your taxonomy - but providers will buck this new requirement unless they see obvious and immediate benefit. Worse, providers might use tags to game the system - artificially placing themselves in the wrong category to drive more sales. Worst of all, creating the right taxonomy is hard. You have to structure a taxonomy to realistically represent how your customers think about the inventory. Eventbrite is investigating a tantalizing alternative: using a combination of customer interactions and machine learning to automatically tag and categorize our inventory. As customers interact with our platform - as they search for events and click on and purchase events that interest them - we implicitly gather information about how our users think about our inventory. Search text effectively acts like a tag and a click on an event card is a vote for that clicked event is representative of that tag. We are able to use this stream of information as training data for a machine learning classification model; and as we receive new inventory, we can automatically tag it with the text that customers will likely use when searching for it. This makes it possible to better understand our inventory, our supply and demand, and most importantly this allows us to build the browse experience that customers demand. In this talk I will explain in depth the problem space and Eventbrite's approach in solving the problem. I will describe how we gathered training data from our search and click logs, and how we built and refined the model. I will present the output of the model and discuss both the positive results of our work as well as the work left to be done. Those attending this talk will leave with some new ideas to take back to their own business.

With an increasing amount of relevancy factors, relevancy fine-tuning becomes more complex as changing the impact of factors produces increasingly more unintended side effects. In recent years, there has been a lot of discussion about how learning algorithms can replace manual relevancy fine-tuning in order to manage this complexity. However, discussions about the challenge of relevancy should additionally consider architectural aspects. Especially microservice-based architectures provide many ways to encapsulate and to separate complexities of search solutions, which facilitates optimizing the search as well as locating and fixing problems. Generally, relevancy factors can be assigned to three different groups, each handled at a different stage of the search request processing. The first group contains contextual factors that depend on certain characteristics of a query, such as query-related boosts lifting up top-sellers for queries or category-related boosts to distinguish products from their accessories. Such contextual factors can be handled as a step of the preprocessing of queries. The respective boosting information can simply be appended to the query before it is actually sent to the search engine. Ideally, the normalization of the query is done beforehand. The second group contains factors that are considered for all queries in more or less the same way, e. g. a ranking function basing on keyword occurrences, product topicality or sales in total. Factors related to this group can be handled directly by configuring the search engine. The third group contains situational factors. For instance, a certain product might be a good match for a certain query in general, but for situational circumstances it should not appear among the top five products (e. g. because it is out of stock). Such situational factors can be handled by resorting result sets, after they were returned by the search engine. The handling of the different factors within successive stages of search request processing will be discussed from an architectural perspective. Implications for applying learning algorithms and the implementation of a personalized search will be considered.

Does your search application include a custom query syntax with various search operators such as Booleans, proximity, term or phrase frequency, capitalization, quoted text or as-is operator, and other advanced operators? Although most search applications offer a natural language-oriented search box, some advanced applications may also offer a custom query syntax for advanced users or automated tasks. The Lucene "classic" query operators that are supported by the Solr edismax query parser (Boolean, phrase with slop, wildcard, etc.) cover a good amount of use cases, but they only get you so far. In this talk, we will explore various strategies to support a custom and advanced query syntax in Solr, covering a spectrum of options from leveraging the out-of-the-box Solr query DSL, to a custom Solr query parser, and hybrid solutions in between. We will identify the options' pros and cons, discuss relevancy considerations, and illustrate the options in Java.

For a relevance engineer one of the most difficult tasks in the tuning process is to convince others in the organization that this is a joint effort. Even the brightest search guru doesn't get very far when working in isolation, so establishing cross-collaboration through the organization is essential. But how to get there? On top of that, in a large organization a relevance engineer often works on multiple seemingly unrelated search projects. The challenge is not to get drowned in building custom solutions for each project, but to design generic and re-usable strategies which solve many problems at once. In this session we'll discuss how to build a widely supported basis for search quality improvements in an organization. It is full of practical tips and examples which could help you in establishing a cross-functional culture that is optimal for relevance tuning. It also zooms in on an holistic approach of solving multiple equivalent search issues at once.

The New York Times has had search for a long time but 2018 was the year in which the company engaged with relevance in a deep way. The aim of this talk is to share what we've learned as we've increased our search sophistication and some of the challenges we still face. Some of the techniques we've adopted in this past year include offline metrics testing, reflective testing, and user engagement metrics. We now have a process in place to quickly get mappings changes out to production. As a team we now also have a vocabulary for talking about relevance and can use it to discuss trade-offs and goals in conjunction with our metrics. We hope this talk is of use to those who've put off working on search relevance due to fear, uncertainty, or ambivalence. We will talk about how we went from working on everything but search relevance to finally pulling back the curtain on the search system. We hope what we've learned can help others get started.

Evaluation of search quality is essential for developing effective rankers. Interleaved comparison methods achieve statistical significance with less data than with traditional A/B testing, meaning tests can be run in shorter timeframes and more sensitive changes to the ranker can be evaluated. In interleaved ranking two result lists are combined in a "fair" manner, such that clicks can be interpreted as unbiased judgments about the relative quality of the two rankers. In this talk we will dive into why interleaving can be a superior online evaluation method, along with how it could be added to your own evaluation toolset.

Due to a variable inventory and an ephemeral data set, users often search for terms that are outside of our corpus. This leads to empty search result sets, despite often having relevant content for our users. In order to improve relevancy, we moved beyond the search engine and implemented a number of Query Expansion techniques, including spell correction, category identification and synonym matching. In this talk, we will outline how we used machine learning and heuristics to improve the search experience for our users while highlighting successes and failures along the way.
