Enter [http://odin-project.eu/ ODIN], The ORCID and DataCite Interoperability Network. ODIN is a two-year project to unleash the power of persistent identifiers for researchers and the research they create. This talk will present recent work from the ODIN project, including several tools that can be used to unleash the godlike power of identifiers at your institution.

Many of us are using the excellent Lucene library (or SOLR appliance) to provide search functionality. These systems contain number of features to adjust relevancy ranking of hits, but we may not know how to use them. In this presentation, I'll present the available options - eg. what is the default ranking 'Vector space model, what are the alternatives (eg. BM25) and what are the other options we have to tweak and adjust the ranking of the hits (eg. boost factors, functions). But even if we know how to deploy these adjustments and tweaks, we are still left in dark. We do not know whether the change we've just rolled out had a significant (statistically significant) effect or maybe it was just a waste of time and resources? A/B testing is one option, but there may be a much better one - so called "Multi-Armed Bandits Approach". And in this talk I'd like to show how we are experimenting with this strategy to adjust [http://labs.adsabs.harvard.edu/adsabs/ ADS search engine].
