Learning to Rank Datasets for Search with Oscar Castaneda
2 likes•1,079 views
Oscar Castañeda presented on learning to rank datasets for search using Elasticsearch's learning to rank capabilities. He discussed extracting relevance judgements during data pipelines to bootstrap a dataset ranking model, and leveraging click-through data on dataset profiles to continuously improve the model. The demo showed ranking movie datasets based on a relevance judgement file, with movie profile pages representing dataset profiles. Next steps included describing datasets in a structured way, building a knowledge graph to extract insights, and using topic models to understand datasets.

Next Steps (1)
• Describe Datasets in a structured schema.org way
using Data Catalog Vocabulary [2].
• Build a knowledge graph and use GraphX to extract insights.
(Useful e.g. for column concept determination (Deng et al. 2013)).
• Build topic models based on structured Datasets using
Glint to perform scalable topic model extraction in Spark
(Jagerman and Eickhoff, 2016) [1].

- 43. 43 • Alon et al (2016) advocate finding data in a post- hoc manner by collecting and aggregating metadata after datasets are created or updated. • We propose a so-called “a posteriori” approach where metadata is generated as part of running pipelines using Spark. A posteriori vs. Post-hoc #SAISDS8
- 44. 44 • Alon et al (2016) advocate indexing • We prefer indexing A posteriori vs. Post-hoc #SAISDS8 after the fact immediately after the fact
- 45. 45 Pros • “Relevance judgements” can be extracted and leveraged to bootstrap a ranked dataset index. • In a feedback loop leveraging click-through data on Dataset profile pages. • More granular metrics available to evaluate metadata regeneration. #SAISDS8 immediately after the fact
- 46. 46 Cons • Offline model development is disconnected and only indirectly part of feedback using click-through data. • Looking at trees instead of the forest. • Need to replay indexing pipeline when things change (per data pipeline). #SAISDS8 immediately after the fact
