Solr Relevance Tuning Simplified

Relevance is a critical aspect of a successful implementation of a search solution, and tuning it to get it right is essential to the success of search projects. During the Lucene/Solr Revolution session, “Solr Relevance Tuning Simplified,” Daniel Ling, Senior Architect at Findwise, will share some best-practices for working with relevance, including three uses case examples of the impact of customized relevance based on scenarios from the media industry and an intelligence agency, as well as a case of personalized relevance based on role.

In addition, during the session, a Solr relevance tuning module will be open sourced (on GitHub) and demonstrated. The module contains functionality to adjust the relevance parameters in an appealing UI with sliders and parameters, all providing immediate feedback and impact on search results displayed and re-ranked within the UI.
