Haystack US 2023 - The Search Relevance Conference
2023-04-24 09:00 - 10:00
Haystack is the conference for improving search relevance. If you’re like us, you work to understand the shiny new tools or dense academic papers out there that promise the moon. Then you puzzle how to apply those insights to your search problem, in your search stack. But the path isn’t always easy, and the promised gains don’t always materialize.
Haystack is the conference for organizations where search, matching, and relevance really matters to the bottom line. For search managers, developers, relevance engineers & data scientists finding ways to innovate, see past the silver bullets, and share what actually has worked well for their unique problems. Please come share and learn!
Featuring talks from AWS OpenSearch, Getty Images, Elsevier Health, Delivery Hero, Pinecone, Weaviate & a raft of other search experts!

Efficient Vector Search with OpenSearch - Webinar with BigData Boutique and MyPart
2023-07-25 10:00 - 11:00
Join MyPart’s CEO and Chief Architect Matan Kollnescher, and Itamar Syn-Hershko, CTO and Founder of BigData Boutique, to learn how MyPart revolutionized song search by using Vector Embedding and OpenSearch.
In this session, we’ll discuss MyPart’s unique use-case and multi-dimensional approach that slices up sounds, lyrics and musical compositions into vectors that make sense to a computer. With that information stored in a Vector Database, MyPart can run intelligent, low-latency queries on huge music catalogs, without compromising accuracy or functionality.
We will then dive into the intricacies of Vector Search with OpenSearch, learning ML techniques that apply to a wide range of projects. As we get more technical, we’ll discuss how OpenSearch makes searching through vector data easy and efficient.

Amsterdam OpenSearch Launch Event with Zeta Alpha
2023-11-10 18:00 - 19:00
Zeta Alpha is inviting the OpenSearch community in Amsterdam to join the launch event of the Amsterdam User Group. We start at 18:00, we’ll have Pizza, Refreshments, Talks, and Networking (this is an in-person only event).
What our group is about:
We are a group of people in the Amsterdam area with keen interest in search engineering, open-source search technology, and search relevancy. If you’ve utilized or are simply curious about core search technologies like OpenSearch, Lucene, or Solr, and their application in fields such as enterprise search, vector search, and generative AI, this is the space for you!
We embrace all skill levels. Even if search is just a small part of your day-to-day duties, come learn and connect with other smart engineers. We cover and welcome talks on topics including: search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for Large Language Models (LLM), data connectors and data visualization.
Time and location:
November 10th, 2023 from 18:00 to 19:30. Room L3.36 at Lab 42, Science Park 900, Amsterdam.
Schedule:

18:00 – Arrival with food, drinks.
18:30 – OpenSearch and Generative AI – Nate Boot.
18:50 – OpenSearch vector capabilities – Jettro Coenradie.
19:10 – Retrieval Augmented Generation: Lucene based vs Vector databases – Fernando Rejon Barrera.
19:30 – Networking with drinks.
20:00 – Closing.

Talks:
OpenSearch and Generative AI
Experiences with OpenSearch and generative AI as a developer advocate for the OpenSearch Project.
Speaker: Nate Boot, Developer Advocate – OpenSearch Project.
OpenSearch vector capabilities
Lexical search is powering the majority of search engines today. It works for eCommerce, the legal domain, the medical domain, etc. However, you must know what you are looking for to find something. Without the right terms, you must be lucky if someone added a synonym for your term. What if you can search for concepts rather than terms?
During this presentation, you step into the semantic or vector search world. You get introduced to the vector search capabilities of OpenSearch. Together, we explore the different options OpenSearch has for Vector Search. Through a demo, you see the difference between lexical and vector search.

*Speaker: Jettro Coenradie, Information Retrieval Specialist
Coach
Architect at Luminis.*

Retrieval Augmented Generation: Lucene based vs Vector databases
Selecting the right retrieval backend for Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems can be the decisive factor between success and failure. In this talk, I’ll share insights gained from building RAG systems for enterprise applications, highlighting the critical factors for ensuring quality, performance, and security. Join me for practical advice on moving your RAG system beyond the POC phase.
Speaker: Fernando Rejon Barrera, CTO at Zeta Alpha.
