Pyndri: A Python Interface to the Indri Search Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce pyndri, a Python interface to the Indri search engine. Pyndri allows to access Indri indexes from Python at two levels: (1) dictionary and tokenized document collection, (2) evaluating queries on the index. We hope that with the release of pyndri, we will stimulate reproducible, open and fastpaced IR research.

Indri: a language-model based search engine for complex queries
Search engines are a critical tool for intelligence analysis. A number of innovations for search have been introduced since research with an emphasis on analyst needs began in the TIPSTER project. For example, the Inquery search engine introduced support for specification of complex queries in a probabilistic inference network framework. Recent research on language model-ing has led to the deve...
متن کاملDynamic Collections in Indri
Text search engines have historically been designed for unchanging collections of documents. While this is fine for many applications, a growing number of important applications in news, finance, law and desktop search require indexes that can be efficiently updated. Previous research into supporting dynamic collections revolves around incremental methods. Incremental systems are optimized for ...
متن کاملIndri at TREC 2004: Terabyte Track
This paper provides an overview of experiments carried out at the TREC 2004 Terabyte Track using the Indri search engine. Indri is an efficient, effective distributed search engine. Like INQUERY, it is based on the inference network framework and supports structured queries, but unlike INQUERY, it uses language modeling probabilities within the network which allows for added flexibility. We des...
متن کاملIndri at TREC 2007: Million Query (1MQ) Track
This work details the experiments carried out using the Indri search engine for the ad hoc retrieval task in the TREC 2007 Million Query Track. We investigate using proximity features for this task, and also explore whether using a simple spelling checker Aspell to correct plausible spelling errors in the noisy queries could help retrieval. Results evaluated by three different approaches are pr...
متن کاملIndri at TREC 2005: Terabyte Track
This work details the experiments carried out using the Indri search engine during the TREC 2005 Terabyte Track. Results are presented for each of the three tasks, including efficiency, ad hoc, and named page finding. Our efficiency runs focused on query optimization techniques, our ad hoc runs look at the importance of term proximity and document quality, and our named-page finding runs invest...
