Elasticsearch: Vector and Hybrid Search - Susan Chang (Principal Data Scientist I | Security Machine Learning @ Elastic) and Jessica David (Principal Data Engineer I | Threat Data Services @ Elastic)

Search is not just traditional TF/IDF anymore: the current trend of machine learning and models has opened another dimension for search. This talk gives an overview of:

• “Classic” search and its limitations
• What is a model and how you can use it
• How to use vector search or hybrid search in Elasticsearch
• Where OpenAI’s ChatGPT or similar LLMs come into play with Elastic
