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.
