Artificial intelligence takes advantage of many kinds of data to generate more nuanced and accurate results, but how does it do that? One way is through vector search.
Vector search has a wide range of applications including eCommerce, recommendation engines, chatbots, image and video search, and chemistry.
In this talk, you’ll learn how to implement vector search in Spring applications using Redis Stack enhanced search capabilities. You’ll also learn how to create embeddings for your data, about vector databases, vectorization of your data, similarity metrics, and more.

The LJC is delighted to announce our Unconference 2023! Join us for a full day of discussions, knowledge sharing, learning, and networking with other developers in the industry.What is an Unconference? An unconference is a loosely structured, participant-driven meeting. You decide what you want to talk and hear about and which topics you want to discuss. It starts with an empty schedule - no topics are mandated and no separations are made between speakers and the audience. All participants work out a schedule by suggesting, planning, holding, and evaluating sessions, collaboratively. We’re also excited to welcome a well-known keynote speaker to kick the day off. Above all else, it's great fun, whether you want to learn or share it's a supportive and safe space to do it in.
This is an in-person event, kindly supported by IBM, with the minimal ticket price covering catering and booking fees.
Book your place now at the biggest LJC Event of the year!
Huge thanks to our Unconference sponsors, Fusion Auth and Vonage.
