Neural Search and Benchmarking Information Retrieval

For the event on August 12th, 7pm CEST, we have two talks scheduled that present open source frameworks for building neural search pipelines and for benchmarking information retrieval models. The event will be streamed and the link to the stream will be shared before the event.

Agenda

Talk 1:
Branden Chan, Machine Learning Engineer at deepset, will present how to get beyond keyword search with the neural search framework Haystack: https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack

Talk 2:
Nandan Thakur, Research Assistant at UKP Lab at Technical University of Darmstadt, will present his framework for benchmarking information retrieval models, BEIR: https://github.com/UKPLab/beir

Virtual Networking
We will make sure that there is enough time and virtual space to chat with other attendees after the two talks.
