Retrieval and Retrievers 🐕 🔍

​Calling all creatures in search! Whether you’re retrieving document embeddings or your favorite tennis ball, you’re invited to an afternoon of fetch with mission-aligned peers (AKA retrieval researchers & retriever puppies).

​We'll have a whole bunch of adorable puppies for guests to play with. Expect conversations about embeddings, rerankers, and most of all, which puppy is gonna grow up to be a good boy (hint: return torch.ones_like(puppies)).

​Food and refreshments and Molly Tea for all guests.

Puppy Partner: We are excited to be partnering with a local shelter! There will be a variety of puppy breeds including retrievers. Puppies are 6-8 weeks old and available for adoption after the event.

​Exa Labs Inc is building knowledge infrastructure for humanity. We train embedding models to semantically understand hundreds of billions of documents on the web and built our in-house high performant vector database to search over them.
