Talks:
Improving the User Search Experience at Adyen
In this talk we will talk about one of the use cases for Elasticsearch at Adyen. We will show how we drastically improved the user search experience for our internal knowledge base. We will go over what problems we have encountered, how we used the Elastic stack to solve them and what our next steps are.

Speaker: Sanchit Bhatnagar (Backend Developer @Adyen)

Vector Search with Elastic: Redefining Similarity
Similarity between elements in a dataset has traditionally been measured based on appearance - simple measures such as word counts and other lexical similarities have been the state of the practice. Vector Search goes beyond appearances and lets you define similarity based on meanings and deeper representations of content. Image recognition and comparisons, audio comparisons and recommendations, and relevance ranking based on Natural Language Processing (NLP) are just a few of the applications that Vector Search enables.

Speakers: Abdon Pijpelink (Tech Writer @Elastic) and Arno van de Velde (Senior Solution Architect @Elastic)

RSVP closes September 4th, Sunday, EOD.
