How to Integrate Open Source Large Language with Apache Solr
1st december, tokyo
Large Language Models (LLMs) are becoming ubiquitous: everyone is talking about them, everyone wants to use them and everyone claims is getting benefits out of them…
But… is it that simple?
This talk aims to demystify the Open Source landscape of large language models, exploring what it means to use them to improve your search engine ecosystem and what are the most common pitfalls.
The talk starts by introducing the reasons to add LLMs to your search application and the complexities it adds (choosing the right model, measuring success, and rabbit holes).
Building upon the introduction we’ll present how search changes with the advent of this innovative technology, what is ‘fine-tuning’ and what are the areas and components in Apache Solr that could benefit from an integration with such technologies.
We’ll wrap up the session with the list of contributions on our roadmap and a demo of a new Solr Highlighter we are developing.
Join us as we explore this new exciting Open Source landscape and learn how you can leverage it to improve your Apache Solr experience!
