Just a notice that RFP for haystack,
https://haystackconf.com/ , has gone
out. Proposals due jan 9th. Conference april 24th and 25th.
I'll probably submit the recent autocomplete work as a talk. Something like
the following. I don't like any of these titles yet and the abstract surely
needs help too, but will ponder on it.
Titles?
Running millions of hits per second on a laptop
Elasticsearch and Tensorflow, an offline evaluation story
Exporting explains
Abstract:
What if we could export the scoring equation along with all the inputs and
variables, and run this equation outside of elasticsearch? Simple queries
can then be run on a laptop at a rate of several million hits per second.
This opens up a variety of optimization techniques such as coordinate
ascent or hyperopt to tune the query variables including boosts, tie
breakers, similarity parameters, etc.
