Building Taxonomies with Large Language Models [Microsoft]

Building Taxonomies with Large Language Models [Microsoft]

In this episode, we look at how companies deal with large volumes of unstructured text and why traditional clustering methods often fall short at scale. We explore two LLM-powered approaches shared by data scientists from Microsoft: a bottom-up pipeline that builds structure from data using embeddings and clustering, and a top-down pipeline that starts with LLM-generated categories and refines them recursively into a hierarchy.

Fraud Detection with Multi-Agent AI Architecture [Razorpay]

In this episode, we discuss a classic scaling problem in fraud and risk operations: too much manual review, inconsistent judgments, and growing complexity. We explore the team’s solution, Bumblebee, a multi-agent AI architecture that separates planning, evidence gathering, and analysis into specialized roles, enabling a robust and scalable system to solve the problem.

Hybrid Search for Improved Content Discovery [OLX]

In this episode, we explore how OLX improved discovery by combining keyword search and vector search instead of forcing a choice between the two. Keyword systems remain excellent for precision, while vector systems add semantic understanding. Together, they create a smarter and more user-friendly marketplace experience.

Localization-Led Generative AI Product [Udemy]

In this episode, we explore how Udemy built a multilingual AI platform to bring its generative AI features to learners around the world. The team approached localization across three levels: a translation-first approach for broad and fast coverage, a fully native multilingual system for markets where fluency and cultural precision are essential, and a hybrid solution in between that intelligently routes between the two depending on the situation For more details, you can refer to their published tech blog, linked here for your reference: https://medium.com/udemy-engineering/from-zero-to-hero-localization-led-generative-ai-at-udemy-a422e4f968d4 [https://medium.com/udemy-engineering/from-zero-to-hero-localization-led-generative-ai-at-udemy-a422e4f968d4]

Ladder of Evidence to Understand Product Effectiveness [Meta]

In this episode, we explore how Meta uses the “Ladder of Evidence” framework to evaluate the effectiveness of new product features. Instead of relying on a single analytical method, this framework helps teams choose the right type of evidence based on real-world constraints, leading to better and more informed product decisions.
