Smarter Search with Spark, Solr and Mach...

The modern day search engine has significantly evolved from its keyword matching days to its current form which leverages a wide variety of data inputs and user feedback loops to help users find out what’s most important in their data. At Lucidworks, we leverage Apache Spark and Solr, together with a variety of open source machine learning and NLP approaches, to build smarter, richer search and data applications. This talk will explore several motivating use cases (customer 360, knowledge management, ecommerce) for our integrations as well as technical approaches and key lessons learned in real world implementations.
