Vector-based Search + Augmenting The Inverted Index Training

Aggregating information from your search results is extremely valuable to help the user’s navigation and to highlight patterns and statistics. This training explores approaches in sparse and dense vector retrieval, including approximate strategies that bring great performance benefits, and explores the different available faceting approaches in Apache Solr, illustrating how to use them to achieve effective results.
