AWS User Group Singapore - 2024-04-03
2024-04-03 17:00 - 18:00
Save the Date for an Exciting AWS Meetup!
Get ready to add an amazing and insightful AWS special meetup to your calendar happening on Wednesday, 3 April 2024, at the fabulous AWS Singapore Office!
Three exciting topics including:
“Common pitfalls in OpenSearch and Data analytics tooling usability” by Senior Researcher, AWS – Aparna Sundar, PhD
In this session, we will discuss common pitfall of usability and accessibility that AWS analytics customers commonly face. Apart from low-code usability such as curated experiences of dashboards, Q-experience (AI/ML), or data plane curations that our users need to enable for their users across AWS services, we will address the importance of a robust design system, prioritization of accessibility, curated experiences and it’s usability, how to structure information architecture across various data services and more importantly is there a common thread across AWS analytics that allows us to define the common denomination for all things data.
This topic would appeal to the subject matter experts of both time series and warehouse data analytics to discuss predicable customer use cases that makes navigating the domain of data analytics on the cloud seamless, intuitive and productive.
See Meetup Event for full details.

FOSS Asia Summit 2024 - 2024-04-09
2024-04-09 17:00 - 18:00
Be sure to catch the talk from Senior Researcher, OpenSearch Project – Aparna Sundar, PhD
“User Perception as it Informs AI Perception of Performance”
Testing is an important aspect of improving AI models. An untapped and less understood area of product development is to test results in a way that provides greater opportunities to frame AI responses. In this talk, I offer an example of user testing, take aways and how we improved the user experience of an AI Assistant. I cover discoveries at the early stages of development, the way in which users use design heuristics in evaluating AI. Users make judgments on information presented by AI in a way that can overwhelm, undermine or boost trust or confidence in the AI model. I conclude by providing design decisions that can help the user disambiguate the information offered by the AI model.

Community Over Code Europe 2024 – Documentation to Use Open Source Design Templates
In this session, Aparna Sundar shares best practices on the way to create bar raising documentation to guide users to use Figma and GitHub templates. To scale best practices in UX Research, designers of open source software create various design artifacts that can help software builders use and improve on the open source code and curated experience offerings. In this talk, she offers examples of OpenSearch research processes that can scale, documentation and creation of templates that designers and developers in the open source community can utilize in developing experiences for their users. Finally, she outlines best practices in developing documentation for the use of design templates such as the ones shared on Figma and GitHub. In this talk, Aparna shares examples of Figma templates offered to the open source community, and a way in which the open source community has utilized these in creating their software solution.

Berlin Buzzwords 2024 – Rediscover your keyword search: Expand, Enrich and Rewrite
Praveen Mohan Prasad & Hajer Bouafif
This presentation discusses about advanced methods to enhance keyword search by leveraging machine learning and large language models. The techniques involve utilising sparse models for document and query expansion, implementing metadata enrichment for text and images, and incorporating query rewriting using Large Language models. Through a live demonstration on a retail search scenario, we will illustrate how these approaches provide more relevant results by addressing the challenges of keyword search, such as vocabulary mismatches, unmatched queries against document attributes, and non-contextual search. The goal is to empower your existing keyword search system with semantic search capabilities without totally transforming to a costly and un-explainable, dense vector search system.

Berlin Buzzwords 2024 – Elevating AI Applications with OpenSearch’s Flow Framework and RAG Tool
Mingshi Liu & Owais Kazi
This talk introduces OpenSearch’s Flow Framework and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) Tool, enabling developers to create AI-augmented agent, queries, and ingestion flows, integrate ML models, and streamline app development through a no-code/low-code builder. The Flow Framework offers a template for composing AI-augmented flows and integrating ML models. The RAG Tool combines large language models with relevant data from your indexes, enabling question-answering that truly understands and reasons over your proprietary data. Attendees will gain insights into building chatbots, question-and-answer search systems, and other AI-driven applications by leveraging the capabilities of OpenSearch’s Flow Framework and RAG Tool.
