I wrote the book [Relevant Search](http://manning.com/books/relevant-search), created the [Elasticsearch Learning to Rank Plugin](http://github.com/o19s/elasticsearch-learning-to-rank). I'll be teaching a small class targeted at Solr & Elasticsearch developers wanting to build smarter search applications. We go from TF\*IDF to boosting techniques to semantic search & machine learning (learning to rank). Here's why we created the class: > **[Why We Created Search Relevance Training](https://opensourceconnections.com/blog/2018/06/06/why-relevance-training/)** > > I love Solr and Elasticsearch, BUT… It's a great way to meet other folks working on relevance problems as well and brainstorm tough problems. A great way to get introduced to the larger relevance community. > **[Think Like a Relevance Engineer Training](https://www.eventbee.com/event?eid=187163694#/tickets)** > > 608 Preston Avenue, Suite 300 - Charlottesville Hope to see you there! ---
