Opening remarks: The Future of Search and Recommendation
Search and recommendation is core to many Microsoft offerings—such as Microsoft 365, Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft Bing—and it’s crucial to a growing range of industries, such as biomedicine, retail e-commerce, and legal. Underlying technologies are transforming what we know about search and recommendation and the ability to understand and represent knowledge as embeddings extends beyond text to code, images, and more. This track discusses how these technologies will transform every profession for everyday searchers.
