Hi Alejandro, I will follow up on the other email to add some cool stuff we are going to do in November!
*Meetups or conferences that will take place in November:*We run the London Information Retrieval Meetup, a free event that this time will take place in London as a satellite event to the annual Search Solution conference. You can read more here: https://www.meetup.com/london-information-retrieval-meetup-group/events/297065775 This one is scheduled for the 20th of November. --- If you want to take a look at past talks we had, you can check our YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDx86ZKLYNpI3gzMercM7BQ one of the most recent ones is about our contribution to Lucene (Word2Vec Model To Generate Synonyms on the Fly in Apache Lucene): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeLTxnXq1CY&t=77s *Blog posts* We publish a lot about Apache Solr/Lucene or search in general. You can find here our blog: https://sease.io/our-blog If you are looking for solr-related articles, here is the page you are looking for: https://sease.io/?s=solr Talking about relevant and recent posts, I would go with these: - https://sease.io/2023/10/apache-lucene-solr-ai-roadmap-do-you-want-to-make-it-happen.html (Apache Lucene/Solr AI Roadmap – Do You Want to Make It Happen?) - https://sease.io/2023/10/apache-lucene-solr-the-top-10-pain-points-community-over-code-2023-edition.html (Apache Lucene/Solr: the Top 10 Pain Points – Community Over Code 2023 Edition) - https://sease.io/2023/02/benchmark-apache-solr-performance-with-apache-jmeter.html (Benchmark Apache Solr Performance with Apache JMeter) - https://sease.io/2023/01/apache-solr-neural-search-tutorial.html (Apache Solr Neural Search Tutorial) - https://sease.io/2022/12/impact-of-large-stored-fields-on-apache-solr-query-performance.html (Impact of Large Stored fields on Apache Solr Query Performance) *Tools compatible with Solr* You may already know this, but we publish two tools for search quality evaluation that are fully compatible with Solr. I'm talking about: Rated Ranking Evaluator (https://github.com/SeaseLtd/rated-ranking-evaluator ) Rated Ranking Evaluator Enterprise ( https://sease.io/rated-ranking-evaluator-enterprise) Plus, we just announced the new Apache Solr Neural Highlighting Plugin, a plugin that empowers your search engine to identify the most relevant paragraphs for a query, right within the search results. ( https://sease.io/apache-solr-neural-highlighting-plugin) *Other* I think Alessandro has already mentioned our efforts to improve the search community by launching a new Information Retrieval Forum! The forum is pretty much ready, and here is the link (we'll start promoting it these days!): https://ir-relevant.net/ Anyone who would like to get involved in this project is very welcome! Hope this has been of help to you with the newsletter! *Lisa Biella*Digital Marketing Manager e-mail: *l.bie...@sease.io <l.bie...@sease.io>* *Sease* - Information Retrieval Applied Consulting | Training | Open Source Website: Sease.io LinkedIn <https://linkedin.com/company/sease-ltd> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/seaseltd> | Youtube <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDx86ZKLYNpI3gzMercM7BQ> | Github <https://github.com/seaseltd> [image: Mailtrack] <https://mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=signature&utm_campaign=signaturevirality11&;> Sender notified by Mailtrack <https://mailtrack.io?utm_source=gmail&utm_medium=signature&utm_campaign=signaturevirality11&;> 10/31/23, 11:32:52 AM On Thu, Oct 26, 2023 at 9:03 PM Alessandro Benedetti <a.benede...@sease.io> wrote: > Plenty of cool stuff! > I'll have our digital marketing manager @Lisa Biella <l.bie...@sease.io> who > reads in copy to add our part as well! > > Cheers > -------------------------- > *Alessandro Benedetti* > Director @ Sease Ltd. > *Apache Lucene/Solr Committer* > *Apache Solr PMC Member* > > e-mail: a.benede...@sease.io > > > *Sease* - Information Retrieval Applied > Consulting | Training | Open Source > > Website: Sease.io <http://sease.io/> > LinkedIn <https://linkedin.com/company/sease-ltd> | Twitter > <https://twitter.com/seaseltd> | Youtube > <https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDx86ZKLYNpI3gzMercM7BQ> | Github > <https://github.com/seaseltd> > > > On Thu, 26 Oct 2023 at 15:37, Charlie Hull < > ch...@opensourceconnections.com> wrote: > >> Hi Alejandro, >> >> We've got a wealth of Solr related content to contribute, the question >> might be how much do you want? :-) >> >> 1.
