Tech Talk: Assessing Embedding Quality
Speaker: Ben Yi (Intuit)
Description: Embedding models are critical to the QuickBooks experience, yet current evaluations focus only on downstream classification outcomes and are slow to run. We introduce a faster, standalone method to assess embedding quality. Results show JINA-v2 with fine-tuning significantly boosts performance.

Tech Talk: Scaling GenAI for Production
Speaker: Peter Werner
Description: In this presentation, Pete will discuss taking an MVP or research project and scaling to tens of millions of users. It will touch on organisational and technical aspects, with a focus on the processes, tools and technologies that underpin reliable, robust and scalable AI services.
