Talk Abstracts:
Elasticsearch in the United States House - Ari HershowitzThe Parliamentarian of the United States House stores more than two hundred years of precedents. These were written down on index cards and eventually transferred to SQL Server. The search was done with a SQL query, and -- even though there are only a few thousand records -- it could take up to a minute to retrieve a result. We built a customized user interface and index using Elasticsearch, that brought down search latency to milliseconds. As an application, it is pretty run-of-the-mill. But it wholly transformed the workflow in the office and allowed the Parliamentarian to do much more extensive research than before on their records. There are small applications like this throughout government, where indexing alone can make a big difference. I'll discuss this opportunity, and the challenges of building a custom UI and facets for the Parliamentarian and similar use cases.

Elastic's platform has the Elastic Learned Sparse Encoder Representations (ELSER) (an advanced NLP model) built in aid in handling various NLP tasks like search, text classifications, entity extraction. Elastic Observability uses ELSER to help find the proper contextual information when analyzing issues as an SRE. Github issues, runbooks from wikipedia or other places, customer tickets, and more can be ingested, indexed, and run through ELSER to help aid in adding contextual internal information when an SRE is analyzing issues with Elastic Observability's AI Assistant. We will show you how this works in various features such as APM & Universal Profiling.
