Building Better Product Search with Fine-Tuned Retrieval Models
Thu, Jun 4, 9:00 PM# **NOTE: REGISTER [HERE](https://luma.com/nyc-i97h)** ***PLEASE REGISTER ON LUMA TO BE ACCEPTED.*** Generic embedding models get you "kind of similar." Real product search needs the right brand, size, color, and variant. That gap is where fine-tuned retrieval models earn their keep. In this hands-on workshop, you'll build a product search lab around a custom fine-tuned retrieval model trained on realistic e-commerce data. You'll see where the baseline embedding model breaks, what fine-tuning fixes, and how to measure the lift with real relevance metrics. You'll also see how the fine-tuned model fits alongside sparse and hybrid search in a production retrieval stack. We'll dig into the failure modes generic models can't fix: semantically close but commercially wrong results, missed attributes, weak exact-match behavior, irrelevant substitutes, and bad ranking. You'll learn how hard negatives and domain-specific training data drive most of the quality gains, and how to tell whether a fine-tuned model is actually pulling its weight in production. The same model also powers "similar products" and preference-based recommendations, so we'll cover that path too. No pre-work required. Every participant gets a ready-to-use VM with the environment, data, models, and tools already installed. *** # **AGENDA** **5:00 – 5:40 PM** \| **Arrival, Registration & Networking** Check-in, refreshments, and access to the demo environment **5:40 – 6:00 PM** \| **Introduction** **6:00 – 6:20 PM** \| **Talk: TBC** **6:20 – 7:20 PM** \| **Talk: TBC** **7:20 – 7:50 PM** \| **Talk: TBC** **7:50 – 8:30 PM** \| **Q&A** **8:30 – 9:00 PM** \| **Wrap-Up & Networking** Key takeaways, Q&A, and networking *** # **What You’ll Learn** * How a fine-tuned retrieval model outperforms generic embeddings on real product data * How hard negatives and domain-specific examples drive the quality gains * How to evaluate a fine-tuned model with practical relevance metrics * How to diagnose retrieval failures and tell "similar" apart from "relevant" * Where sparse, dense, and hybrid search fit alongside the fine-tuned model * How the same model supports recommendations, RAG, and agentic workflows *** # **WHO SHOULD ATTEND** Builders with hands-on experience in RAG, vector search, semantic search, or retrieval pipelines who want to go deeper on fine-tuning and search quality. *** **PLEASE REGISTER ON LUMA** [https://luma.com/nyc-i97h](https://luma.com/nyc-i97h) [https://luma.com/nyc-i97h](https://luma.com/nyc-i97h) [https://luma.com/nyc-i97h](https://luma.com/nyc-i97h) **Seats are limited: register now to secure your spot!**
Brooklyn Mourners Common
Mon, Jun 15, 11:00 PMBrooklyn Mourners Common is a monthly in-person gathering for people who have experienced the death of a loved one — a space to share, reflect and find support in the company of others who understand. While there’s no roadmap for grief, there is community. The Brooklyn Mourner’s Common invites all grievers – no matter who they lost or when – to join this circle where we express, acknowledge, and process grief together. This event is facilitated by **Jennifer Bleyer, LMSW.** A psychotherapist, social worker and longtime Brooklynite, she is passionate about fostering a sense of community and connection among those who have experienced loss; normalizing and honoring grief, and creating spaces where all feelings are welcome. Join us in person at: Brooklyn Ethical 269 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215
