Agenda

10:30 PM ‐ 10:50 PM

Abstract: We will describe best practices and implementation patterns for integration of modern neural search techniques into production digital commerce product discovery systems. We’ll focus on practical approaches to hybrid traditional and vector search retrieval and ranking. We will also discuss leveraging state-of-the-art text-to-image models to achieve true multi-modal search experience, especially effective for marketplace search with unreliable content quality.

Key Takeaway: Attendees will get an overview of recent trends in multimodal neural search and a comprehensive review of technical approaches and benefits for building hybrid combinations of traditional and neural search product discovery systems.
