Search is a deceptively complex field, where competence is hard-won through training, practice, and experience. In that vein dear friends, I've exhumed the venerable "Falsehoods Programmers Believe" party from 4 years ago to bring you one about, no less, Search.
We won't address machine learning illiteracy in search if we can't go beyond buzzwords. We need to teach concrete, specific techniques.
Join me for four training days in August, going deep into improving your search relevance and learning to rank skills.
