Abstract:
< br >
Lucene is a high performance, scalable, cross-platform search engine that contains many advanced
features that often go untapped by the majority of users. In this session, designed for those
familiar with Lucene, we will examine some of Lucene's more advanced topics and their application,
including:
< / p >
< ol >
< li > Term Vectors: Manual and Pseudo relevance feedback; Advanced document collection analysis for
domain specialization< / li >
< li > Span Queries: Better phrase matching; Candidate Identification for Question Answering< / li >
< li > Tying it all Together: Building a search framework for experimentation and rapid deployment< / li >
< li > Case Studies from
< a href = "http://www.cnlp.org" > CNLP< / a >
: Crosslingual/multilingual retrieval in Arabic, English and Dutch;
Sublanguage specialization for commercial trouble ticket analysis; Passage retrieval and
analysis for Question Answering application
< / li >
< / ol >
< p > Topics 1 through 3 will provide technical details on implementing the advanced Lucene features, while
the fourth topic will provide a broader context for understanding when and where to use these
features.

< p > Lucene has migrated from Apache's Jakarta project to the top-level. Along with this migration,
the source code repository has been converted to Subversion. The migration is in progress with
some loose ends. Please stay tuned!
