Will search relevance be revolutionized by deep learning? Join Doug Turnbull, author of 'Relevant Search', and Tommaso Teofili, author of 'Deep Learning for Search' as we explore the budding field of Neural Search.
Learning to Rank (LTR) is now available for both Solr and Elasticsearch. Why is this such a hot topic? What does an organization need to leverage a Learning to Rank solution? Liz explains the LTR pipeline in terms of what is available as an off-the-shelf solution and what isn't. She discusses the challenges faced when implementing LTR and some open research areas moving forward.

Database History from Codd to Brewer and Beyond
There are innumerable technical lessons to learn from database history. Its easy to go with what’s new and trendy. Its harder to appreciate technical reasons why one approach suddenly became more favored than another. History highlights the limitations and power behind database solutions. If we don’t learn from history we are doomed to repeat it: – What were the first databases like (Codasyl, etc)? Why did they start out this way? – Why was RDMS the right technical response to the non RDMS databases back in the day? – Why was the move away from RDMS to NoSQL the right technical solution for many problems today? A great introductory to the basic technical scaffolding and historic context for NoSQL, from this talk, you’ll have a deeper appreciation of the transition from vertically scaling Big Metal to horizontally scaling Big Data.
