This multi-speaker talk will trace the life of a query through various AI-powered information retrieval strategies that are gaining traction in the search field today. Technical experts from the Women of Search community will discuss AI-driven IR techniques such as fine-tuning ML models, constructing sophisticated RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines, and reranking methods. They will provide an in-depth analysis of the advantages and limitations of each strategy, with a focus on identifying the optimal use cases for each. We invite you to join us for what promises to be an educational and inspiring presentation.

Followed by Q&A on both the talk and the Women of Search initiative.
