About This Book
Description An exploration of neural network-based techniques to improve search relevance and effectiveness. The book discusses the integration of deep learning with traditional search infrastructures like Apache Lucene and Solr. Key Topics: Neural search, word and document embeddings, ranking algorithms, content-based image search, and cross-language retrieval. About the Technology: Deep learning allows search engines to process imprecise terms and non-textual data by representing content as vectors in a high-dimensional space. About the Book: The content reviews search basics like indexing and ranking before introducing deep learning models for query suggestion, document recommendation, and performance optimization. About the Reader: For developers familiar with Java and basic search concepts. About the Author: Tommaso Teofili is a software engineer and a member of the Apache Software Foundation, specializing in information retrieval and machine learning.
AI Summary
Deep Learning for Search shows Java‑focused developers how to enhance classic Lucene and Solr pipelines with neural models such as BERT, word2vec, and multimodal embeddings.
The book blends a brief IR refresher with hands‑on code and deployment tips for modern relevance tuning.
