About Conference Talks
Conference sessions on production search, retrieval at scale, hybrid ranking, and applied AI—where correctness and economics meet operations.
Talks at industry conferences on how search behaves under real constraints—hybrid retrieval, alerting and inverse query patterns, scaling economics, and operational correctness.

Patterns from Shipped Migrations
Searchplex founder Ravindra Harige presented Patterns from Shipped Migrations at the London Information Retrieval & AI Meetup on September 9, 2026. The talk shared practical patterns from shipped Vespa migrations across Lucene-based search systems such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, and Solr, covering schema modeling, query translation, parity testing, and tooling for getting to a working Vespa v0.1 faster.
- Technical programme with Philippe Bouzaglou and Radu Gheorghe.

The Three-Body Problem of Inverse Hybrid Search
Saved searches and visual alerts flip retrieval on its head: documents trigger queries, and every true match must be returned—combining vectors, boolean filters, and lexical constraints with fetch-all semantics. This session explains why cost and instability track match cardinality and burstiness more than raw QPS, and why traditional search scaling intuition breaks down.
