The Elastic Berlin User Group hosts an evening of two technical talks on visual retrieval. A senior AI research engineer at Elastic explains teaching models to search PDFs with tables, charts and complex layouts, and how larger models can help train smaller search models when labels are imperfect. A principal software engineer at Zalando describes building image discovery for a fashion AI assistant, covering intent detection and the retrieval strategies each intent is routed to. Each talk is followed by a Q&A, and pizza, drinks and networking close the evening.
