Welcome Alessandro!

Subject: Re: Welcome Alessandro Benedetti as a Lucene/Solr committer

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
I already know most of you but for all the others here's my brief bio :)

I am Italian (possibly the only other italian in addition to Tommaso) and I 
have been living in the UK for the last 7 years.
I am currently based in London.
I started working with Apache Solr back in 2010 (and a few months later with 
Apache Lucene), my first project was a search API that translated the Verity 
query language to Lucene syntax, at the time I was a junior software engineer 
with a background in Information Retrieval research at Roma3 university.
Since then I have explored a lot of different use cases for Apache Lucene/Solr 
and I spent more and more time studying and working with the internals, across 
various companies and positions.
My favourite projects in my career have been the design and implementation of a 
Semantic Search engine called Sensify (when I was working in a small and 
cohesive R team in Zaizi, with spanish friends and colleagues from Seville), 
the Apache Solr Learning To Rank plugin from Bloomberg (and 
integrations/applications) and the Rated Ranking Evaluator project (an Open 
Source library for Search Quality Evaluation we contributed back to the 
community).
In 2016 I founded my own company, Sease where we try to build a bridge between 
Academia and the industry through Open Source software in the domain of 
Information Retrieval.

As David mentioned my main areas of contribution in Apache Lucene/Solr have 
been the More Like This, the Learning To Rank plugin, Synonyms expansion and 
the Suggester component.
I have a lot of ideas in my to do list, so stay tuned, we'll have a lot to 
discuss and innovate !

It is a pleasure to join this group and I am sure we'll do great things 
together :)

Cheers

 I already know most of you but for all the others here's my brief bio :)

 I am Italian (possibly the only other italian in addition to Tommaso)
 and I have been living in the UK for the last 7 years.
 I am currently based in London.
 I started working with Apache Solr back in 2010 (and a few months later
 with Apache Lucene), my first project was a search API that translated the
 Verity query language to Lucene syntax, at the time I was a junior software
 engineer with a background in Information Retrieval research at Roma3
 university.
 Since then I have explored a lot of different use cases for Apache
 Lucene/Solr and I spent more and more time studying and working with the
 internals, across various companies and positions.
 My favourite projects in my career have been the design and
 implementation of a Semantic Search engine called Sensify (when I was
 working in a small and cohesive R team in Zaizi, with spanish friends and
 colleagues from Seville), the Apache Solr Learning To Rank plugin from
 Bloomberg (and integrations/applications) and the Rated Ranking Evaluator
 project (an Open Source library for Search Quality Evaluation we
 contributed back to the community).
 In 2016 I founded my own company, Sease where we try to build a bridge
 between Academia and the industry through Open Source software in the
 domain of Information Retrieval.

 As David mentioned my main areas of contribution in Apache Lucene/Solr
 have been the More Like This, the Learning To Rank plugin, Synonyms
 expansion and the Suggester component.
 I have a lot of ideas in my to do list, so stay tuned, we'll have a lot
 to discuss and innovate !

 It is a pleasure to join this group and I am sure we'll do great things
 together :)

 Cheers

Re: Welcome Alessandro Benedetti as a Lucene/Solr committer

[Alessandro Benedetti]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
I already know most of you but for all the others here's my brief bio :)

I am Italian (possibly the only other italian in addition to Tommaso) and I
have been living in the UK for the last 7 years.
I am currently based in London.
I started working with Apache Solr back in 2010 (and a few months later
with Apache Lucene), my first project was a search API that translated the
Verity query language to Lucene syntax, at the time I was a junior software
engineer with a background in Information Retrieval research at Roma3
university.
Since then I have explored a lot of different use cases for Apache
Lucene/Solr and I spent more and more time studying and working with the
internals, across various companies and positions.
My favourite projects in my career have been the design and implementation
of a Semantic Search engine called Sensify (when I was working in a small
and cohesive R team in Zaizi, with spanish friends and colleagues from
Seville), the Apache Solr Learning To Rank plugin from Bloomberg (and
integrations/applications) and the Rated Ranking Evaluator project (an Open
Source library for Search Quality Evaluation we contributed back to the
community).
In 2016 I founded my own company, Sease where we try to build a bridge
between Academia and the industry through Open Source software in the
domain of Information Retrieval.

As David mentioned my main areas of contribution in Apache Lucene/Solr have
been the More Like This, the Learning To Rank plugin, Synonyms expansion
and the Suggester component.
I have a lot of ideas in my to do list, so stay tuned, we'll have a lot to
discuss and innovate !

It is a pleasure to join this group and I am sure we'll do great things
together :)

Cheers
