Apache Solr Neural Search Tutorial

The vector-based approach is already widely used in search and is finally available in Apache Solr from version 9.0.
In this training, you will learn how to leverage this new Apache Solr feature to index and search vectors and perform a full end-to-end neural search with real examples to improve your search experience!

PREREQUISITES

• Basic understanding of Search Engines.
• Basic understanding of Neural Search principles.
• Familiarity with Apache Solr.
• Attendees need Java installed on their computer.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

• How Apache Solr implementation works, with the new field type and query parser introduced
• How to generate vector embeddings from text using pre-trained language models
• How to create an index containing vector fields
• How to Index documents using pysolr
• How to Run KNN queries (with and without filters) and use them to rerank a first-stage pass

INTENDED AUDIENCE

• Software engineers
• Data scientists
• Developers
