Hello Everyone,

The June Elastic Meetup will be on June 8th! Shoutout to Go-Jek for hosting us this time!

Come join us and ask us all the questions you have on Elastic Stack :)

Agenda

Talk 1:
Title: What's new with Elasticsearch?
Speaker: Aravind Putrevu
Abstract:

With 6.8 and 7.1, Elastic has reached a significant milestone and released something that you, our community would enjoy learning and playing with. Here are things that I'm going to discuss.

1. Configuring Security with Elasticsearch - Elastic made it free.
2. Running Elasticsearch on Kubernetes
3. Few other updates on stack

Talk 2:
Title: Learning to Rank plugin with Elasticsearch and its uses at Go-Jek
Speaker: Jewel James, Data Scientist
Company: Go-Jek
Abstract:

This talk summarizes the approaches considered and lessons learnt during the design and successful experimentation of a search system that uses ML to personalize the restaurant results based on the user’s food and taste preferences .

We formulated the estimation of the relevance as a Learning To Rank ML problem which makes the task of performing the ML inference for a very large number of customer-merchant pairs the next hurdle.
The talk will cover our learnings and findings for the following:
a. Creating a Learning Model for Food Recommendations
b. Targetting experiments to a certain percentage of users
c. Training the model from real time data
d. Enriching Restaurant data with custom tags

Talks will be followed by AMA (Ask me Anything!) and networking session.

Thanks and regards
