Vector Similarity Search at Scale // Dave Bergstein // MLOps Coffee Sessions #52

Coffee Sessions #52 with Dave Bergstein, Vector Similarity Search at Scale. //Abstract Ever wonder how Facebook and Spotify now seem to know you better than your friends? Or why the search feature in some products really “gets” you while in other products it feels stuck in the '90s? The difference is vector search— a method of indexing and searching through large volumes of vector embeddings to find more relevant search results and recommendations. Dave Bergstein, the Director of Product at Pinecone, joins us to describe how vector search is used by companies today, what are the challenges of deploying vector search to production applications, and how teams can overcome those challenges even without the engineering resources of Facebook or Spotify. // Bio Dave Bergstein is Director of Product at Pinecone. Dave previously held senior product roles at Tesseract Health and MathWorks where he was deeply involved with productionalizing AI. Dave holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Boston University studying photonics. When not helping customers solve their AI challenges, Dave enjoys walking his dog Zeus and CrossFit. --------------- ✌️Connect With Us ✌️ ------------- Join our slack community: https://go.mlops.community/slack Follow us on Twitter: @mlopscommunity Sign up for the next meetup: https://go.mlops.community/register Connect with Demetrios on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dpbrinkm/ Connect with Vishnu on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vrachakonda/ Connect with Dave on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/pinecone-io/mycompany/
