Solr Relevance Engineer Training, Sept 25 & 26

[Doug Turnbull <dt...@opensourceconnections.com>]

Hey everyone,

Many may know me, in the words of Will Hayes, as "Mr. Relevance". I'm the
author of the book Relevant Search, and prolific blogge
<http://o19s.com/doug>r about all things Solr relevance.

I want to share I'll be running a Solr 'Think Like a Relevance Engineer'
course Sept 25 and 26
<https://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2018/09/25/think-like-relevance-training/>.
It's a great way to learn to build intelligent, relevant Solr search
experiences with topics ranging from measuring search quality, to
taxonomy-based semantic search, to introducing learning to rank.

It's also a chance to just hang out with our team (and maybe if we can
convince some Lucidworks folks ;) ) in Charlottesville in beautiful autumn
near the Blue Ridge mountains.

We had a succesful training course mixing open source Solr and
Elasticsearch in early July. Based on feedback, we decided to focus the
content of our course to go deep on one search engine. Some pics here :)

(if you'd like this course in Elasticsearch, please let me know and we may
schedule it with enough interest)

Hope to see you there
-Doug
