Will Neural Networks kill the Inverted Index?

Will Neural Networks kill the Inverted Index? With search engines like Solr and Elasticsearch becoming mainstream, limitations become apparent. In this talk, you’ll learn about well-known limitations for the inverted index. Limitations like language detection, searching images, finding answers instead of documents.

What fun is there in discussing limitations if you’re not discussing improvements. For each limitation, you’ll learn about a possible solution based on Neural Networks. Meet Neural search. In the end, we’ll see if Neural Search and Inverted indexes are at war, who’s winning, or if they can live together.
