Excited to share insights from Walmart's groundbreaking semantic search system that revolutionizes e-commerce product discovery! The team at Walmart Global Technology(the team that I am a part of 😬) has developed a hybrid retrieval system that combines traditional inverted index search with neural embedding-based search to tackle the challenging problem of tail queries in e-commerce. Key Technical Highlights: • The system uses a two-tower BERT architecture where one tower processes queries and another processes product information, generating dense vector representations for semantic matching. • Product information is enriched by combining titles with key attributes like category, brand, color, and gender using special prefix tokens to help the model distinguish different attribute types. • The neural model leverages DistilBERT with 6 layers and projects the 768-dimensional embeddings down to 256 dimensions using a linear layer, achieving optimal performance while reducing storage and computation costs. • To improve model training, they implemented innovative negative sampling techniques combining product category matching and token overlap filtering to identify challenging negative examples. Production Implementation Details: • The system uses a managed ANN (Approximate Nearest Neighbor) service to enable fast retrieval, achieving 99% recall@20 with just 13ms latency. • Query embeddings are cached with preset TTL (Time-To-Live) to reduce latency and costs in production. • The model is exported to ONNX format and served in Java, with custom optimizations like fixed input shapes and GPU acceleration using NVIDIA T4 processors. Results: The system showed significant improvements in both offline metrics and live experiments, with: - +2.84% improvement in NDCG@10 for human evaluation - +0.54% lift in Add-to-Cart rates in live A/B testing This is a fantastic example of how modern NLP techniques can be successfully deployed at scale to solve real-world e-

It’s 2nd of December , here’s your Cyber Monday present 🎁 !

We’re cutting our price down on Hugging Face Inference Endpoints and Spaces!

Our folks at Google Cloud are treating us with a 40% price cut on GCP Nvidia A100 GPUs for the next 3️⃣ months. We have other reductions on all instances ranging from 20 to 50%.

Sounds like the time to give Inference Endpoints a try? Get started today and find in our documentation the full pricing details.
