DESCRIPTION:# Abstract\nIn India's offline markets\, shopping is always ab
 out having an interactive dialogue. Yet\, as e-commerce platforms evolved\
 , dense UI interfaces clouded and removed conversational experience. With 
 GenAI\, we at Flipakrt have revitalized this dialogue. We called it *Conve
 rsational Commerce*\n\nThis talk will dive into the technical nuances of t
 he GenAI implementation\, from semantic understanding\, to its seamless in
 tegration with Flipkart's vast product ecosystem. \n\n# Broad outline\n1. 
 Touch upon the various use-cases where GenAI is used in Flipkart.\n1. Dive
  deep into how LLMs are used to **Understand User messages** better in *Co
 nversational Commerce*.\n    1. **Decoding Queries:** Use ChatGPT-like LLM
  models to interpret and act on user queries.\n    1. **Clarifying Ambigui
 ties:** Generate questions to gain clarity on ambiguous or vague inputs.\n
     1. **Contextual Conversations:** Maintain continuity throughout dialog
 ues\, identifying when users switch topics.\n1. Deep dive into the importa
 nce of **Conversation Design** and how its  used in-conjuction with LLMs t
 o provide a rich chat experience to the user.\n1. The challenges faced\, h
 ow they were overcome and the road forward.\n2. Finally\, our insights on 
 LLMs\, how and when to use them\, and how local in-house models can augume
 nt large deployed models such as ChatGPT.\n\n# Target Audience\nData scien
 tists and Software Architects building Chat Assistants for large organisat
 ions with diverse use-cases.\n\n# Unique Value Proposition\nThe talk focus
 ses on building large scale **production** GenAI applications\, solving a

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\nIn this session\, we'll deep-dive into Recommendatio
 n Systems\, with a special focus on two critical stages: Retrieval and Ran
 king. We'll begin by examining how different industries implement large-sc
 ale Retrieval Systems tailored to their specific needs. To illustrate our 
 points\, we'll take a closer look at the Retrieval Systems used by Twitter
  and Instagram\, even though both are social networks\, their Recommender 
 Systems are unique. We'll explore Twitter's follow suggestions and how Ins
 tagram recommends interactive media content to its users. We'll uncover th
 e strategies these companies use to create effective Retrieval Systems and
  identify common approaches.\n\nNext\, we'll shift our attention to Rankin
 g Systems\, where we'll explore how companies strategically order items to
  maximize conversions. We'll discuss the use of multi-objective ranking fu
 nctions\, a common approach in many companies. Additionally\, we'll also e
 xamine how other companies fine-tune their rankings using feedback loops t
 o align with multiple objectives. In this context\, we'll take a closer lo
 ok at the ranking systems of Instagram and Pinterest.\n\nThroughout this s
 ession\, we aim to provide insights into the world of Recommendation Syste
 ms and how in Meesho we have used some of these learnings to create high-q
 uality Recommender Systems.\n\nAbout the Speaker\nAbhishek Mungoli is a se
 asoned data scientist with over 7 years of experience\, holding a master's
  degree in Computer Science from IIIT-Hyderabad. He has worked with promin
 ent companies such as Walmart and currently serves as a Lead Data Scientis
 t at Meesho. Abhishek's expertise spans various domains of data science\,

DESCRIPTION:Samsung Ads is an intuitive audience platform that delivers me
 aningful experiences reaching the right audience across screens\, formats 
 and devices. With more than 900M Mobiles and 150M Smart TVs\, and the larg
 est first party data set powered by ACR\, we help marketers reach targets 
 and enhance experiences that span digital landscapes. The business has gro
 wn 10x since 2015. Our foundation is based on Samsung’s strength as a ma
 nufacturer in two key connected consumer device spaces: Mobiles & Smart TV
 s ...from which we derive two critical components that power our Samsung A
 ds businesses today: Data and Ad Impressions. We combine these assets to c
 reate powerful Ad offerings that drive reach\, performance\, and return on
  Ad spend for the world’s leading marketers.\n\nSamsung Ads needs to sel
 l to advertisers in advance to show advertisements. The Ad opportunities d
 epend on user behaviour – users turning the TV on and going to specific 
 screens. Having an automated way to forecast availability opportunities is
  critical to:\n• Ensure we do not over-commit to advertisers (monetary i
 mplications + hurts reputation)\n• Ensure we do not under-commit (opport
 unities are wasted\, potential revenue wasted)\n• Ensure users are able 
 to self service the forecast process (tap into a larger market segment tha
 t wants self service\n\nOur goal is to predict how many impression events 
 will be received for a specific campaign over the duration of the campaign
 . The campaigns are setup to target opportunities based on various criteri
 a including Location\, Time of day\, TV Model\, Type of ad opportunity and
  User identifiers.\nForecasting is a complex problem that typically involv
 es a single time series\, and to predict for one step ahead. We have many 
 different time series patterns\, and multi-step forecasts with a long fore
 cast horizon (over 90 days). This requires the use of sequence to sequence
  models and modern techniques such as transformer architectures. We are bu
 ilding this solution using the state of the art Temporal Fusion Transforme
 r models. We will go over the different type of Ads such as Roadblocks\, A
 udience Take overs\, Rotationals and Video Ads and the factors affecting f
 orecasting.\n\nWe will go over the key challenges faced in coming up with 
 a working model architecture\, such as erroneous ground truth data\, data 
 availability & quality issues and data understanding gaps\, and our approa
 ches to deal with these challenges. We will go over the use of data sketch
 es and an OLAP DB like druid to get past data and use that and other featu
 res as inputs to a TFT model. For modeling external competition\, we will 
 explain how we estimate price dependence of win rates using survival model
 s. We will also introduce the evaluation framework built to evaluate the f
 orecasting accuracy at three different phases - during development\, pre-r
 elease and post release. Earlier\, the analysis was done manually which ha
 d many challenges like lack of consistency\, delays\, lack of historical d
 ata etc. which were solved with the evaluation framework.

DESCRIPTION:### Abstract\nRoposo is a live video platform with over ~200 m
 illion end users with ~1000 live videos getting uploaded every day\, each 
 lasting 15 minutes to 3 hours. In order to increase engagement and improve
  user experience\, we are trying to create a central video feed which will
  have assets that can easily consumed. This requires converting our events
  and creator led videos to shorter formats like trailers and short clips\,
  for which\, we process the videos with help of AI to get the most importa
 nt segments.\n\n### Broad Outline\nVideos can be very diverse as their con
 tent can vary from:\n - people having arguments\, dancing or singing (**Bi
 g Boss\, Glance being smart lock screen partner**)\n - just having convers
 ations like in an interview (**Creator Led Shows\, Exclusive content for R
 oposo**)\n - a fashion show where a supermodel just walk a runway (**Lakme
  Fashion Week\, Glance being a partner**).\n\nAs a solution to this\, we b
 ifurcated videos based on the density of speech happening in them and crea
 ted separate solutions for a speech-heavy and a visual-heavy video.\n\nFor
  a speech-heavy video\, we are use transcription to select the most import
 ant segments of a video while for a visual-heavy video\, we break videos i
 nto shots and generate visual descriptions of the shots to select the most
  important segments.\n\nWe are leveraging the following for our use-case:\
 n - Faster [Whisper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2212.04356) using CTranslate2 f
 or audio transcription.\n - [BLIP](https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.12086) and [
 Git](https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.14100) for Image Captioning.\n - [Vilt](ht
 tps://arxiv.org/pdf/2102.03334.pdf) for Visual Question Answering.\n - Col
 or Histograms for Shot boundary detection.\n - gpt3.5-turbo for text highl
 ights and summarisation.\n - [Sentence-BERT](https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.10
 084) embedding and cosine similarity for retrival.\n - All the above model
 s optimised to run on a single T4 GPU using a custom dataloader for parall
 el processing.\n\nTo enhance the viewer experience\, we are post-processin
 g our short videos with AI-generated music\, custom transitions between sh
 ots\, animations\, stickers\, subtitles and a lot more.\n\nThe end-to-end 
 processing runs at 5-10 mins for 30 min long video.\n\n### Impact\n - Incr
 eased content liquidity on our platform by 300%.\n - Increased average pla
 y duration (APD) on short videos by 44%.\n - Increased viewership for orig
 inal content by 23%.\n\n### Future Work\n - Introduction of multi-modality
  for describing segments.\n - Generalization across on more diverse videos

DESCRIPTION:# Title\nShiksha copilot- Empowering teachers to create best l
 earning experiences \n\n## Overview\nShiksha copilot is a research project
  at Microsoft Research\, India. The project aims to improve learning outco
 mes and empower teachers to create comprehensive\, age-appropriate lesson 
 plans combining the best available online resources\, including textbooks\
 , videos\, classroom activities\, and student assessment tools. To help cu
 rate these resources\, the project team built a copilot—an AI-powered di
 gital assistant—centered around teachers’ specific needs.\n\n## Proble
 m\nTeachers are the backbone of any educational system. They are not just 
 educators\; they are indispensable navigators\, mentors\, and leaders. Tea
 chers around the world face many challenges\, which vary from country to c
 ountry or even within a city or town. But some challenges are universal\, 
 including time management\, classroom organization\, and creating effectiv
 e lesson plans\, personalizing content for henetrogenous student-base in t
 heir class and eventually improving the learning outcomes.\n\n## Solution\
 nShiksha copilot is a copilot experience for teachers to generate personal
 ized and engaging learning experiences for their studnets in just a few mi
 nutes. Shiksha copilot addresses various societal and technical challenges
  in developing inclusive and accessible copilots such as improved multilin
 gual and multimodal interactions. Educational content is mainly multimodal
 \, including text\, images\, tables\, videos\, charts\, and interactive ma
 terials. Therefore\, for developing engaging learning experiences\, it is 
 essential to build generative AI models which have unified multimodal capa
 bilities. Also\, these experiences are most impactful when delivered in na
 tive languages\, which requires improving the multilingual capabilities of
  generative AI models. \n\nThis copilot is being developed as part of Proj
 ect VeLLM (Universal Empowerment with Large Language Models) at Microsoft 
 Research India. VeLLM’s goal is to make inclusive and accessible copilot
 s available to everyone by building a platform for developing population-s
 cale copilots. Inclusive copilots must address various real-world challeng
 es\, such as a multilingual user base\, varied skillsets\, limited devices
  and connectivity\, domain-specific understanding\, guardrails\, and safet
 y principles. Shiksha is the first copilot developed using the VeLLM platf
 orm. The VeLLM team is working with collaborators across diverse domains\,
  such as agriculture and healthcare\, to develop tailored domain-specific 
 copilot experiences utilizing the platform and addressing associated resea
 rch problems.  \n\n## Speaker\nTanuja Ganu\, Principal Research SDE Manage

DESCRIPTION:Building AI models/systems *doesn't* come cheap. Data\, Comput
 e Talent\, Time - it all comes at a high price in the AI world. Given the 
 size of the investment\, be it a 0-1 startup or MNC\, it is important to u
 nderstand the ROI (Return On Investment) upfront.\n\nIn this talk\, we wil
 l look at "AI Maturity Continuum" - a framework that helps to conceive\, b
 uild & mature AI systems while keeping business outcomes in mind. To expla
 in the framework\, we will use the ROI curve in AI. \n\nWe will see how & 
 why the *ROI curve in AI* is *very different* from the *ROI curve in tradi
 tional software/IT development*. This explains why the age-old corporate w
 isdom of "early wins" does not work in AI. Above all\, the framework guide
 s you on the kind of AI talent you must hire and how this changes with tim
 e. This directly impacts your AI hiring strategy!\n\n**Takeaways**\n1. A c
 oncrete yet simple framework to conceptualize "ROI" in AI projects\n2. Und
 erstand why ROI in traditional Software/IT behaves very differently for AI
 \n3. Understand how & why ROI for AI systems changes with time.\n4. Why wh
 ere you are on the ROI curve in AI has the greatest bearing on the kind of
  AI talent one needs to hire and How this changes with time\n5. Why contri
 butions margins in AI business are low and will never be anything like Saa

DESCRIPTION:# Abstract\nWith Conversational Commerce becoming more popular
 \, the way people search for products on a Conversational (Chat) Interface
  is very different from the way they search on a traditional "Search Text 
 Box" based interface. This talk is around the differences\, the challenges
  they pose and the solutionn to those challenges based on our learnings in
  Flipkart.\n\n# Broad Outline\nConversational Search is different from Tra
 ditional Search for the follwoing reasons.\n1. **Long\, descriptive and su
 bjective** queries - Eg. *“Show me best camera phones with good battery 
 life”*. This is very different from traditional search queries which are
  keyword based. Eg. *"5g phones"*\n2. Suffer from **Articulation gap** - E
 g. *"Show me phones for daily use for my father*. Here\, we will need to u
 nderstand what features of a phone are required for daily use and for elde
 rs. These queries are not performed on traditional search methods and its 
 not natural.\n3. Lots of **Comparison** queries  - Eg. *"is vivo v15 bette
 r than oppo k10"*.\n4. Required **high relevance** - Since lesser results 
 are are shown in a chat based search\, the results needs to be extremely r
 elevant.\n\nWe used LLMs for solving for articulation gap and query re-wri
 te. We also used different labelling techniques such as using LLMs to labe
 l the results rather than relying on metrics such as CTR to get high quali
 ty labelled results to train our models.\n\nWe will cover all of the above
  in the talk.\n\n# Target Audience\nSoftware Engineers and Data scients wh
 o are working on AI solutions for  Search\, Comparison and Recommendation

DESCRIPTION:It is widely believed that the next few unicorns and decacorns
  will come from AI. This should hardly be surprising - AI is one of those 
 once-in-a-lifetime technological advances that can change the life of ever
 y human on earth. Its impact on mankind will be no less than the impact of
  industrialization or electricity. \n\nBut building AI is one thing and bu
 ilding the business of AI is completely another beast. Building successful
  companies requires a solid business model and not just game-changing tech
 nology. The unit economics must work out well. \n\nIn this talk\, we will 
 look at why the business of AI so far is super tricky. We will closely und
 erstand: \n1) How n why AI is a very expensive technology\n2) We will look
  at its various components from a cost lens\n3) We will understand why\, u
 nlike SaaS\, cost margins for AI business is expected to be super low\n\nW
 e hope that this talk will help founders\, leaders\, AI teams\, look at AI
  from a PnL lens and develop a more pragmatic view of the business of AI s
 o as to enable the broader AI community to make much more informed decisio
 ns.\n\nThanks\nAnuj\nhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/anujgupta-82/

DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nIn the realm of audio processing and music product
 ion\, automated genre-based audio morphing is an emerging field that merge
 s the creative boundaries of different music genres through the power of m
 achine learning and natural language processing (NLP). This innovative app
 roach leverages textual prompts to drive the transformation of audio conte
 nt\, transcending traditional genre constraints and enabling new forms of 
 musical expression. This can then be used as an isolated content for perso
 nalized recommendation\n\n\nApproach\n\nLeveraging state of the art models
   \n\n1. MusicGen (by Meta) - To drive the music conditioning based on pro
 mpts\n2. LP-MusicCaps: LLM-Based Pseudo Music Captioning - Retrieve taggin
 g based on music attributes\n\nWe finetune them on our dataset\, which we 
 created weakly using ChatGPT and in house annotations. We also used 3P dat
 asets like WavCaps to augment our dataset iwth real world examples. We ach
 ieve audio morphing in ~30 seconds for a 5 min video.\n\n\nDeployment at s
 cale\n\nWe are deploying at scale in near future\, but this will directly 
 impact the liquidity\, we have atleast 5-6 variants for the same audio (wh
 ich would mean 5-6x liquidity) which then we can use in downstream tasks (
 like personalised recommendation\, etc)\n\n\nKey Points to be discussed in
  the talk- \n\n1. End to End pipeline for music morphing\n2. Finetuning on
  our dataset\n3. Challenges faced in terms of deployment (multi GPU) + red
 ucing latencies.\n4. How this can be used as a personalised content for re

DESCRIPTION:# Abstract (Problem)\nScaling digital ads heavily relies on te
 sting new ads. Many brands are unable to scale even though they have budge
 ts due to lack of ads to test. The biggest challenge for any advertiser is
  to come up with new Ad ideas\, design those Ads and track them at a fast 
 pace so that the ad costs can be reduced.\n\n# Broad Outline (Solution)\nT
 here are several steps an advertiser needs to take to overcome the Ad crea
 tion challenge\n1. Generating new ideas - Advertisers need to come up with
  new ideas ever so often. This creates a roadblock in generating new ads. 
 We use LLMs to generate new ideas for a brand that have a high chance of c
 onverting the audience into customers.\n2. Creating Ads - Based on the new
  ideas - generating high converting copy and creatives is a challenging an
 d time consuming task. We help generate new high converting Ad copy and cr
 eatives using a range of AI tools to speed up the process.\n3. Tracking Ad
 s - While we generate new Ads\, it is important to track every Ad and meas
 ure its performance at a much deeper level so that we can drive actionable
  insights for our next iteration of Ad Creatives. Our Deep AI Attribution 
 model helps Advertisers with a dashboard on providing deeper insights abou
 t their Ad’s performance.\n4. Audience Suggestions - Selecting the right
  target audience is a crucial part in ensuring the performance of ads. How
 ever\, most targeting options are hidden behind API calls which makes adve
 rtisers unaware of untapped markets. Using the power of LLMs\, we provide 
 tailored targeting options based on the offer so that the advertisers find
  the message to market fit.\n\n\n# Target Audience\nAdvertisers and Data S

DESCRIPTION:### Abstract\nIn traditional BPOs\, training sales representat
 ives is challenging\, primarily due to limited visibility into the univers
 e of knowledge that the representatives have to stay on top of. This limit
 ation often results in suboptimal sales interactions with customers. Furth
 ermore\, the creation of thorough and timely training materials is a time-
 consuming endeavor\, even before the actual training can commence. Consequ
 ently\, this extended preparatory phase delays sales representatives from 
 promptly engaging in customer calls on behalf of the business\, resulting 
 in missed opportunities.\n\nAs a solution to this problem\, [SquadStack](h
 ttps://www.squadstack.com/) is in the process of creating an in-house tool
 \, we call **Intel Assist**\, to streamline the extraction of content\, fo
 r faster and accurate generation and querying of training material for a v
 ariety of businesses at a very low cost.  This as a result\, is empowering
  our sales representatives to access and utilize this information seamless
 ly during customer calls.\n\nAt its core\, we aim for source-agnostic know
 ledge integration\, gathering information from a wide range of sources to 
 enhance documentation and streamline the process of querying this knowledg
 e. While we have initially applied this approach to enhance our internal b
 usiness processes at SquadStack\, it can also benefit other enterprises se
 eking to bolster their own knowledge management capabilities.\n\n### Featu
 res\n**Step 1 - Knowledge Onboarding** \n- Extracting asked Questions\, Qu
 estions & Answers (QnAs)\, and Summaries from a variety of raw data source
 s\, including Call Recordings\, Word Documents\, PDFs\, Spreadsheets\, and
  Presentations.\n- Our comprehensive logging of each question and objectio
 n during calls has resulted in a valuable data repository\, opening the do
 or to a multitude of analytical insights.\n- By identifying frequently ask
 ed questions and objections\, we equip our representatives with the means 
 to improve their preparedness and performance.\n  \n**Step 2 - Knowledge S
