I was priviliged to speak at MICES 2024 in Berlin. I gave a talk about the importance of rapid, data-informed prototyping of e-commerce relevance ideas. Add a new feature to your ranking solution, train and study new features to include, with an e-commerce dataset. The idea is to get quick signals to plan next steps, not go super deep and heavily invest without some validation.

Of course SearchArray was used heavily!

Enjoy!
