Session: Democratizing Deep Learning with Vector Similarity Search
Deep learning is responsible for most of the breakthroughs we have seen in AI/ML in recent years, yet most companies' models in production use classic or traditional ML. In this talk we will explore how deep learning is being democratized today, thanks to the rising use and availability of vector embeddings from giant pre-trained neural networks. We will see how these embeddings can be combined together with vector similarity search to address different use cases covering any modality and applied to any type of object. Finally, we will discuss the many opportunities this presents as well as the tools that are required to successfully deploy these applications into production.
