Make a step change in search quality
Poor search destroys user experience. It frustrates users in e-commerce, legal, medical, and nearly every domain. Now with AI, we see agentic and RAG applications sink or swim on the accuracy of search results.
In this workshop we uncover what's holding you back. What key problem areas prevent you from making progress on search? Why haven't you gotten to the next level?
We'll stack-rank the highest impact changes you could make to your search.
Workshop agenda
- 9:00AM EDT
Quantify search's business value
For search to serve the organization, it must be measured and quantified. How do you measure and evaluate search quality
- 10:30AM EDT
Experimentation and feedback
Accurate experimentation sits at the foundation of good search. Do you A/B test? Do you evaluate search by hand labeling results? Or do you just say "LGTM"?
- 12:00PM EDT
L0 Retrieval - vector, lexical, and other
Initial retrieval casts a wide net. The smartest downstream ranker will fail with nothing to rank farther down the stack
- 1:00PM EDT
Reranking + Learning to Rank
Do you rerank search results after your initial retrieval? If so, is that a model you train? Or something off the shelf? Let's see what opportunities you might have to improve result accuracy
- 2:00PM EDT
Query Understanding
If you accurately understand the user's request, you can reflect their intent back to them. We'll dive into your query (+content) understanding and how to improve it.
