About Divy Murli

Artefacts] I have a SIGIR-IR paper and two patents to my name, see divymurli.github.io/publications.html for more details.[About] I\'m a scientist specialising in retrieval and generative search systems (training, deployment, and some backend with Go). My primary interest is in (post)training robust retrieval models and this is where I am shifting my focus. Most recently, I\'ve started pursuing in RL at the intersection of search. I\'ve started a blog and contribute as and when I have time: https://divymurli.substack.com/. This blog represents me alone and not any of my employers. If these topics interest you, feel free to reach out.[Nationality] I am American PS - I\'m quite happy in Seattle :) Not looking to move.

Experience

1. Mle

   Pryon

   Jan 2024 — Present

   I build production grade enterprise search and knowledge management systems utilising keywords and {small, medium, large} language models. I designed and productionized an accurate and efficient hybrid search system for retrieval that drastically increased the accuracy of Pryon\'s first stage retrieval system.I extensively use vector indices and build/optimise search pipelines to upgrade retrieval infrastructure for enhanced RAG. More recently, I\'ve worked on backend services for retrieval APIs.Tech stack: haystack, pytorch, helm, kubernetes, golang, gRPC
