From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view?

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
In our second session, we shall learn all about the main features and fundamentals of UiPath Studio that enable us to use the building blocks for any automation project.
📕 Detailed agenda:
Variables and Datatypes
Workflow Layouts
Arguments
Control Flows and Loops
Conditional Statements
💻 Extra training through UiPath Academy:
Variables, Constants, and Arguments in Studio
Control Flow in Studio
Connector Corner: Seamlessly power UiPath Apps, GenAI with prebuilt connectorsDianaGray10
Join us to learn how UiPath Apps can directly and easily interact with prebuilt connectors via Integration Service--including Salesforce, ServiceNow, Open GenAI, and more.
The best part is you can achieve this without building a custom workflow! Say goodbye to the hassle of using separate automations to call APIs. By seamlessly integrating within App Studio, you can now easily streamline your workflow, while gaining direct access to our Connector Catalog of popular applications.
We’ll discuss and demo the benefits of UiPath Apps and connectors including:
Creating a compelling user experience for any software, without the limitations of APIs.
Accelerating the app creation process, saving time and effort
Enjoying high-performance CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations, for
seamless data management.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Editor's Notes
Unemployment has occurred as many jobs involving car workers have been replaced by robots. Many clerical duties involved with applications such as payroll are now performed by computers. Car park attendants have been replaced by microprocessor operated machines. Many shop workers and bank workers have lost their jobs because of on-line services. Many jobs have been lost because: ICT can make someone more efficient at their job, a company can therefore employ less people to complete that job.
For example: In a factory , skilled technicians and machinists have been replaced by computer-controlled robots which can work faster, for longer and more consistently. In a factory , many dirty and dangerous monitoring jobs have been replaced by data-logging equipment using sensors. In a factory , many quality control jobs involved routine sampling and were very boring, many have now been replaced by automatic machines. In a warehouse , many loading and sorting jobs have been replaced by a few staff running a computer-controlled warehouse.
In an office , many typists can be replaced by one person using a word processor. This is a lot more efficient, for example documents can be saved and reloaded for editing rather than being re-typed and mail merging can be used to create apparently custom-typed documents. In an office , many payroll clerks using calculators and paper-based records can be replaced by one person using a spreadsheet to calculate a company's payroll. In an office , many clerks updating paper-based files in filing cabinets can be replaced by one person using a database. In a telephone exchange , operators have been replaced by computer systems that make the phone connections automatically. In a car park, the car park attendant can be replaced by automatic ticket machines and barriers using control technology. In a shop , online shopping means sales staff and cashiers etc. are replaced by staff selecting and sending out goods from a warehouse etc. In a shop , stock control staff can be replaced by automated with bar-code readers recording items entering the building and being sold. In a bank , ATM machines mean less cashiers are needed inside the bank to deal with customers. Working with ICT requires new skills and many workers found it difficult to retrain because they found the new skills to hard to learn. Converting a business to make use of ICT can be very expensive and many small companies could not afford to make the change and could not compete against those that had.
The use of ICT obviously makes more jobs available for technically qualified people such as computer programmers, systems analysts, computer technicians and people who can perform robot maintenance. In addition, call centres have created fresh opportunities particularly for women in the developed countries and for men and women in developing countries. Many jobs have been created because: Computerisation has created many new jobs or radically changed existing jobs. For example: Engineers are needed to build the new computerised machines. Programmers are needed to write the new programs that the computers run. Systems analysts are needed to design the new computerised systems. Skilled workers are needed to operate the new computerised machinery. Skilled workers are needed to use new software such as graphics packages, web-design software and CAD programs. More staff may be needed because of the increased business generated by improved efficiency.
