Hey everyone, I wanted to let you know we've been working on an [Elasticsearch Learning to Rank plugin](https://github.com/o19s/elasticsearch-learning-to-rank) as announced in this [blog post](http://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2017/02/14/elasticsearch-learning-to-rank) What is Learning to Rank? Learning to Rank uses machine learning to build self-learning search systems. With enough work, a learning to rank solution can self-learn relevance based on user behavior. You may have heard recently that Bloomberg released a [learning to rank plugin for Solr](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8542). This plugin brings comparable functionality to Elasticsearch. It comes in two parts: - A script plugin for accepting learning to rank models (in this case models generated by the library [Ranklib](https://sourceforge.net/p/lemur/wiki/RankLib/)) - An ltr query used to rescore top N results using the learning to rank model There's a full example included in the [scripts](https://github.com/o19s/elasticsearch-learning-to-rank/tree/master/scripts) directory, as walked through in detail in the [blog post](http://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2017/02/14/elasticsearch-learning-to-rank/). As always, feedback on our contribution would be very valuable. We'll be writing a lot more about using Learning to Rank with Elasticsearch in the weeks and months ahead. ---

A couple of guys were talking about this internally and I haven't really seen a proper LambdaMART implementation so I'll definitely check it out 👍 Thanks for sharing! ---
