If you missed the deadline for submitting your talk for The Fifth Elephant 2019 -- to be held in Bangalore on 25 and 26 July -- you can propose a talk here.
We are accepting talks on:
##Perks for submitting proposals:
Submitting a proposal, especially with our process, is hard work. We appreciate your effort.
We offer one conference ticket at discounted price to each proposer.
We only accept one speaker per talk. This is non-negotiable. Workshops may have more than one instructor.
In case of proposals where more than one person has been mentioned as collaborator, we offer the discounted ticket and t-shirt only to the person with who the editorial team corresponded directly during the evaluation process.
##Selection criteria:
The first filter for a proposal is whether the technology or solution you are referring to is open source or not. The following criteria apply for closed source talks:
The criteria for selecting proposals, in the order of importance, are:
No one submits the perfect proposal in the first instance. We therefore encourage you to:
Our editorial team helps potential speakers in honing their speaking skills, fine tuning and rehearsing content at least twice - before the main conference - and sharpening the focus of talks.
##How to submit a proposal (and increase your chances of getting selected):
The following guidelines will help you in submitting a proposal:
To summarize, we do not accept talks that gloss over details or try to deliver high-level knowledge without covering depth. Talks have to be backed with real insights and experiences for the content to be useful to participants.
##Passes and honorarium for speakers:
We pay an honorarium of Rs. 3,000 to each speaker and workshop instructor at the end of their talk/workshop. Confirmed speakers and instructors also get a pass to the conference and networking dinner. We do not provide free passes for speakers’ colleagues and spouses.
##Travel grants for outstation speakers:
Travel grants are available for international and domestic speakers. We evaluate each case on its merits, giving preference to women, people of non-binary gender, and Africans. If you require a grant, request it when you submit your proposal in the field where you add your location. The Fifth Elephant is funded through ticket purchases and sponsorships; travel grant budgets vary.
You must submit the following details along with your proposal, or within 10 days of submission:

Aayushi Pathak
Matching the same and similar products is a problem fundamental to the online retail industry with multiple applications spanning across price optimization, recommending similar or substitute products to customers, understanding gaps in product assortments, and counterfeit product detection.
Given that that there are no standard product identifiers, catalog data is often noisy, incomplete and nonstandard, product matching is a challenging problem at scale. In this talk we will define the problem of product matching and discuss what makes it a hard problem. We will then discuss our approaches towards addressing it.
We use an ensemble of text and image-based approaches: content-based image retrieval (that uses a novel hashing technique that we developed), CNN, language model based word embeddings (BERT and Transformer), and techniques from classical machine learning.
We have built an automated pipeline that adapts based on the category of products it is handling.
