Editor's Notes
- What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the words: Artificial. Intelligence?
- For some people its images and ideas like these: The Singularity, and the detruction it may bring The inabilkity to tell whats real And dark illustrations of science fiction It can instill a sense of fear, uncertainty and doubt
- Others tend to think about the transformation it may bring. New ways of life, news of taking care of our loved ones. communicating with our devices. Traveling in our cars. Even Forcing us into New ways of thinking about society and our relartionshops to income and jobs I was debating with a friend once about the practical applications of AI in the real world.
- And of course he gave me the joke me that, in order for something to be considered machine learning – it had involve python If its called AI. It’s simply marketing And While that isn’t far from the truth – the reality is there are far more obtainable and practical uses for AI than most people realize. -The key to applying AI is to leverage its capabilities in order to a unlock users intention. -Leveraging smarter data to delight. Users at every moment -As we explored last year – this era of digital transformation is about obtaining digital success. -Success is defined by mastering every digital moment that our users present to us. -Using Data and the power of search – we can unlock value with some of th emost nartrual and himan intentions. -We can delight users by Saving them time - Aiding in the discovery of new information - And driving the right outcomes.
- How many of you used a ride share to get here to the hotel? 1.) Well isn’t wasn’t that long ago that navigating your way to something like a hotel a series of manual steps and analog devices such as maps
- Even during the beginings of the digital transformartion era it didsn’t get much better. How m any of you remember mapquest and having to remember to print directions and hotel confirmations, and airline ticket!
- Today the. Experience of getting from A-B can be achieved takes seconds Companies like uber have distilled planning, logistics and even Cartography down to a push of a button. And with these outcomes the expectations of user has risen dramatically
- It’s no secret that More and more of our shopping is taking place online. Whats more interesting is how much of our fashion and clothes are being purchased through a digital channe. The most personal items being purchased with without even being able to experience them in person Lululemon makes this experience delightful by ensuring that when we make mistake in our purchases we can simply walk into one of the hundreds of stores and exchange sizes or return items. That experts who understand the intention of users. Be it there hobbies, climates and activities can map those perfect translate that desire into experiences whether your in person or througha digital channel.
- I remember as a kid I used to subscribe to mad magazine. Some of the funniest images and aritcles were in those pages. I would snip clippings to mail to share with friends,. And if no one was paying attention I could sneak off a few photo copies. On Reddit the entire internet is curated for consumption. The memes, jokes, articles and other insights are discoverable and shareable in seconds. Reddit has distilled the ENTIRe internet into a single delightful experience \ <CLICK>
- These great brands achieve these great outcomes because they make use of ALL of their data. Their content. Their signals,. And there people, who can develop rules, polices and provide context that only domain experts can. What I love about our customers like lululemon, Reddit and Uber is the they teach not only about what experience can be but what it should be
- At work – there’s been a revolution in users expectations and an increasing demand for better experience. Whether its xellinails, millennials or digital natives, folks are showing up to work and expecting to be productive. Productive in finding expertise within the firm, Productive in locating information. Or leveraging new insights. Our goal is to deliver these these experiences which can inspire our collogues. <CLICK> can drive creativity, and promote collaboration
- As we move towards the consumer world. Convience, discovery and natural experience with data have become tables stakes. Our customers our looking to leverage our domain knowledge. Become informed throhgh various channels. And more and more so the expectation to capture the users intent has risen dramatically. <XCLICK> The goals are to map people to the things they desire in a seamless and easy fashion Don’t make it work for me to do business with you. Don’t make it work for me to engage with you
- Creativity, Desire , Ease, collaboration These are the building blocks of great experiences. The DNA of end user delight. Because they’re what connect People. Connect them with experts in the organization Connect them with they Information need Connect them with insights so they be productive in obtaining their goals
- But making these connections are hard One of the biggest benefits of being at Lucidworks is how much we get to learn from customers like Uber, Reddit and Lululemon. What they have done is they have mastered the ability to orchestrate the symphony required to deliver experience Levering internal domain knowledge and experts for curation. Turning data into information Making insights discoverable .- Predicting intent. - And fully operationalizing the delivery of the next generation of end user exp What they have done is they have mastered thewability to orchestrate the symphony required to deliver experience Levering internal domain knowledge and experts for curation.

Predicting intent And fully operationlzing the exp
- The spectrum goes from operationalizing content and end user behavior data sources like logs at scale to Not only captureing but Successfully predicting the users intent. At each stage of maturity we are. Faced with new challenges and up against a new set of priroties. In your organizations , Personalizing results and predicting intent. May come second to simply deploying better relevancy across a dozen workplace applications. In others the need to deliver on the most advanced and delightful experience can be the difference between beating your competition or fading away into an oblivion.
- This challenge is why we developed Lucidworks Fusion. We took the worlds most trusted an realiable open source projects, and combined them with the capabities that enterpises need most to deliver on the next generation of user experience. The data experience. Because Data experience is the new user experience. By bringing these capabilities together we asre transforming the way people do their jobs and meeting the expectations they have when they come to work. We are enabling our customers to deliver on the highest of consumer expectations that have been set by some of the giants like Netflix and Amazon. And Today Very excited to announce a number of evolutions of our product line this morning at Activate.
- Operations are not only hard, but cumbersome – Difficulty spans from delivering impact and value from the start of the journey all the way towards successfully mastering the digital moments, This is why we are proud to announce availability of Lucidworks Managed Search, powered by solr.
- This SaaS offering provides cost effective and simple operations to the worlds most realizable and trusted open source search platform. In addition to autoscale and high availability. Provided by the service All the major tenants needed for security, push button deployments and a variety of developer tools and integrations are available. With LWMS Deploying and Managing solr has never been easier.
- I often find the true intersection of end user delight comes from mastering art and science. Building sophisticated applications and delivering them through beautiful workflows and interfaces.
- With Fusion 5 extends the data science paradigm, with the data science Toolkit, This enabling access and leverage of data models trained in and out of fusion including deep learning models. This enables applications for Question and Answering, chat bots, image recognition and much more. Fusion 5’s cloud native architecture breaks fusion down to a series of microservices which can be independetly deployed, scaled and upgraded.
- By delivering these capabilities in a cloud native format we are are increasing the speed and value you get in bringing data driven Applications to market. And speaking of applications We continue to evolve the paradigm around App Studio. In addition to the tag libraries and IDE for building bespoke applications App Studio will become the foundation for delivering widgets and full blown appicaitons on the platform Applications which can reduce the technical overhead required for domain experts to tune and impact the data experience
- Applications such as our predictive merchandiser. The final mile in ecommerce search, empowering a new set of users directly impact the online shopping experiences With Predictive Merchandiser - We’re freeing customers from the repetitive grunt work of having IT maintain business rules And we’re letting merchandisers focus their creativity on improving conversions, increasing revenue, and delighting shoppers.” We’re putting the power in the hands of the people who understand their domains best, and can make the most impact
- Over the last few years, in addition to our HQ in San Francisco - we have expanded our presence and support operations to cover evey time zone. With offices in Raleigh, the United Kingdon and Hong Kong And We of course can’t do this alone. We have a develpped global partner network – many who are here today that help us deliver success and support customers across the globe. These reach ensures that we can continue our Mission to help our customers delight their users with smart and sophisticated data experinces.
- Onix one of our long time and most strategic partners has recently collaborated with Google to bring Fusion Ready to the Google Cloud
- Fusion Ready combines the power of Fusion with the pre built configurations , storage and compute necessary to quickly drive value in the google cloud. Onix has worked with closely with Google to deliver Fusion ready as a Enterprise Grade Alternative to the Google Cloud Search offering, enabling enterprises, state, local and federal agencies to harness the power of better search and better experience You can learn more about Fusion ready at Onix’s session or at the URL below.
- What's the next mile in our journey towards seamless delivery of delight and productive experiences? I don’t know about you – but as a user I find it odd, and frankly frustrating that whether I’m engaging my favorite brands, or showing up to work. Different applications and different channels seem to treat me as a different person. Its as if I’m one person when I’m on a mobile device, Another when I log into a website Another when I show up in person, or on the phone. Or receive an email. This disconnect between the person and the experience makes personalization a difficult one for most of our users to appreciate Most personalization today treats users as if their one of a million others., Nt one in a million.
- The final mile is to connect experiences across channels. To treat different applications and channels not as silos of experience and insight – But instantiations of me. A person. A person who doesn’t change who they are, or what their intent simply by exsiting across multiple dimensions of your business. Exploring this final mile. Learning from eachother. That’s why we’re here this week.
- This need to bring experiences to the next level and eliminate insight silos is why we have so many people in attendance today. This conference started as a small event for the open source search community and has grown to attracting people from across the world Today there is over 1000 of you in attendance
- And it’s no secret that The demand that we see in the market today is unprecedented. We’ve heard about the need for more data scientist, but the success that we are seeing with data science is driving the need for more engineers who can operationalize this work and bring these models to life
- We’ve expwerinced explisvive growths in Growth in community Open source continues to lead the charge in the evolution and adoption of data platforms. Solr as the leader in high velocity high availability data applications has seen a hiuge increase in contributors over the past year with and AI jobs continue to be at the forefront of new opportunities
- And of course that means growth for you as individuals And from a personal growth standpoint this couldn’t be a better time to come together and network with this community. As more and more enterise applications shift towards AI, the 100’s of organzations present today are looking for indivdiduals who can deliver on this future promsies. It’s a great time to taka advantage of the massive increase sin investments enterprises are making into this space.
- At lucidworks it’s a real privlage for us to host this event. Its not so we have an opportunioty to tell you more about ourselves.
