Hi, I have started getting a hang of the xapian codebase. I think I would like to try my hands on the letor module of xapian. Could you please suggest some free data set for the training and testing of letor features. I am not able to get the INEX data set from anywhere (the one mentioned by parth gupta in his GSOC 2011 projecct.

Ok sorry, my bad. Just checked the INEX 2014 website. I believe that is where we get the data set from.

Hi, I am unable to build the letor module. I am generating the configure file using autoconf. The configure file generated is throwing the error ./configure: line 2057: syntax error near unexpected token `1.10.1' ./configure: line 2057: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(1.10.1 -Wportability tar-ustar)` I am not too sure what to do with this. Need help with this. Thank You Regards Karthik On Mon, Sep 29, 2014 at 7:17 PM, karthik iyer <karthikiyer2000 at gmail.com> wrote:> Ok sorry, my bad. Just checked the INEX 2014 website.
