On November 11, a workshop by Yandex on the topic "Search ML Technologies" was held at KBTU. During the event, participants learned how algorithms impact people, products, and businesses.

The opening speech was delivered by Sergey Yudin, the Head of the ML Department at Yandex Browser, who also served as the workshop's speaker.

The goal of the workshop was to deepen students' knowledge in the fields of machine learning and search technologies, as well as to demonstrate how modern algorithms optimize information retrieval and help businesses achieve better results. Participants learned how Yandex applies ML technologies to improve its services and how these developments can be beneficial in various industries.

For their active participation in the competition "Ask a question at the workshop and win Alice," three students were named winners:

- Olga Ten

- Aruzhan Shamsheeva
 

At the end of the event, awards were presented to the winners. After the main part of the workshop, a coffee break was held where participants could not only network but also discuss pressing questions with experts, exchange experiences, and establish new professional connections.

We believe this event was an important step in preparing students for modern challenges in the IT field!
