Machine Learning for Search

Course Summary

The Machine Learning for Search training course is intended for software engineers who are interested in incorporating Machine Learning into a scalable search algorithm.

Machine Learning for Search begins by introducing the foundations for each machine learning concept. The course then explores the concept's applicability and limitations. Next, the implementation, use, and specific use cases are explained. Throughout the course, the APIs, along with the theory, will be covered using real-world datasets. This is achieved through a combination of about 50% lecture and 50% lab work. The course concludes with a lesson on applying Deep Learning to improve Search.

The Machine Learning for Search course is taught using Python language integrated with Solr. Students should have some background with Machine Learning, familiarity with TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, and a knowledge of Search such as Solr and/or ElasticSearch.
