Hello all, Alessandro and I were recently chatting about the current state of dense vector search in Solr, as well as potential directions going forward. One could argue whether there is a gap in the DVS feature space between Solr and other vector DB peers, however we both agree that one of the factors possibly limiting development in this area for Solr is lack of visibility / coordination amongst contributors.
To help encourage new improvements in this area, we would like to gauge interest in a recurring group meeting to discuss dense vector and semantic search. This would be an open invite to anyone who is currently working on DVS, using DVS, or simply just interested in DVS/AI powered search. If you would be interested in this, please reply to this email via the email address you would like for communications going forward. Since several of us in the Solr community will be attending Berlin Buzzwords in 2 weeks time, we aim to plan our first informal meeting at the conference in-person. After that communication/gathering can be monthly or ad-hoc depending on interest. Thanks all, Kevin
