Synopsis

"This book delves into the practical applications of vector search in Elastic and embodies a broader philosophy. It underscores the importance of search in the age of Generative Al and Large Language Models. This narrative goes beyond the 'how' to address the 'why' - highlighting our belief in the transformative power of search and our dedication to pushing boundaries to meet and exceed customer expectations." Shay Banon Founder & CTO at Elastic

• Develop a practical understanding of vector search, including a review of current vector databases
• Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description

While natural language processing (NLP) is largely used in search use cases, this book aims to inspire you to start using vectors to overcome equally important domain challenges like observability and cybersecurity. The chapters focus mainly on integrating vector search with Elastic to enhance not only their search but also observability and cybersecurity capabilities.

The book, which also features a foreword written by the founder of Elastic, begins by teaching you about NLP and the functionality of Elastic in NLP processes. Here you’ll delve into resource requirements and find out how vectors are stored in the dense-vector type along with specific page cache requirements for fast response times. As you advance, you’ll discover various tuning techniques and strategies to improve machine learning model deployment, including node scaling, configuration tuning, and load testing with Rally and Python. You’ll also cover techniques for vector search with images, fine-tuning models for improved performance, and the use of clip models for image similarity search in Elasticsearch. Finally, you’ll explore retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and learn to integrate ChatGPT with Elasticsearch to leverage vectorized data, ELSER's capabilities, and RRF's refined search mechanism.

By the end of this NLP book, you’ll have all the necessary skills needed to implement and optimize vector search in your projects with Elastic.
