In this session, I’m excited to delve into the fascinating world of search and information retrieval systems, especially as they play a pivotal role in the cutting-edge field of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). I’ll be sharing the ins and outs of how we measure success in search systems, touching on those all-important metrics like precision, recall, and beyond – but all with a friendly, accessible twist.

Get ready for a journey through some engaging examples that highlight the importance of getting retrieval just right, not only for the sake of user satisfaction but also for the integrity and usefulness of the information being served.

But that’s not all – I’ll also guide you through the evolving landscape of search evaluation, from traditional methods to the latest innovations that are reshaping how we understand and improve search functionalities in the era of AI and machine learning. Expect practical advice, thought-provoking insights, and maybe a few laughs as we explore how to keep our search systems on the cutting edge and truly responsive to user needs.

Join me for a session filled with valuable takeaways, whether you’re deeply embedded in the tech world or just curious about how modern search technologies are shaping our access to information. Together, we’ll uncover the secrets behind making search systems more effective, intuitive, and, ultimately, more human.
