Hi Olly I will try to work on : http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas#Project:LearningtoRank I will be taking a Machine Learning class the next semester and I hope that this project will help me supplement my learning in Machine Learning and also gain a bit of knowledge in IR. If you can give me ideas on how to get around with the code for LTR project, it will be awesome. I can look at

I'd suggest that a good thing to look at would be functional tests of the metrics and algorithms in Hanxiao Sun's work from this summer. You'll generally need to go either to the original paper, or find an alternative implementation, to build up a series of tests that demonstrate that the implementation is doing what it is supposed to. Xapian-core contains a test framework which it

Hi Maybe I can start off with Hanxiao's branch but I can see there are two repos. https://github.com/v-hasu/xapian/tree/gsoc2014-evaluation https://github.com/v-hasu/xapian/tree/gsoc2014 which one should I pick? I have already successfully built xapian from the git repository ( https://github.com/xapian/xapian) Since I am new to ML (well I dont know anything about it?), should I read the

Hello everyone, I have recently completed my engineering in Computer Science. I came across Xapian while looking for GSoC organisations. I was browsing through the ideas page and it was written that you would be willing to mentor anyone interested in working on those projects. I am interested in this: http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas#Project:LearningtoRank and this:

You can run the top-level configure with --disable-documentation. Cheers, Olly

Hi, Sorry for the long hiatus. I was caught with some other deadlines. Could some one tell me some specific expectations from Letor for GSOC 2015? I am currently trying out some learning algorithm implementations but need some help with it. Can Parth, James and others related to LETOR please tell me the IRC availability for the next few days.

Hi, guys: I found this project idea http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoCProjectIdeas#Project:LearningtoRank If it is need to be improved, I will try to handle it thanks Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi~ Manu I was glad to see you were interested in Xapian, especially the learning to rank project. There are two branch in my repo. The one named gsoc2014 is followed the thought of Parth's work in which we not assign the test set for each ranking and in another one gsoc2014-evaluation we assign the training set and test set explicitly so that we can get the evaluation score of each ranking

Hi, My name is Abraham and I am a 2nd year college student from Bangalore(India). I was going through your list of project ideas, and the Learning to Rank project really interested me . Unfortunately I don't really have any real experience with "Information Retrieval" and only know the basics of "Machine Learning". I was hoping that somebody could maybe point me in the

Hi I am on Debian verson 7.7, GCC 4.7.2 and make 3.8.1. I cloned the code : git clone https://github.com/v-hasu/xapian git checkout gsoc2014-evaluation rm xapian-letor/nobootstrap ./bootstrap ./configure --no-documentation make CXXFLAGS='-w' and I get a different set of errors --- ranker.cc: In member function 'std::string Xapian::Ranker::get_cwd()': ranker.cc:80:36: error:

Hi, I am currently pursuing my computing science bachelors degree at university of Alberta, Canada. My speciality lie in Information retrieval, machine learning and data mining. In order to get hands on experience with real world information retrieval systems, I would like to contribute to the Xapian project. I have been going through some of the project ideas in

Hi Parth, I have a few questions- 1. Could you please provide me with the link for query-file, qrel-file for the dataset available at http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/d5/software/inex/ . 2. I wanted to know how automated testing would be implemented. Will there be test cases like a test query must match this particular N results and this particular ranking. Or will it be in terms of

I use Ubuntu12.04, GNU Make 3.81 and I am not sure if I use some special configure options. The commands I use after clone the repo are as follows: cd xapian ./bootstarp ./configure make cd xapian-letor aclocal -I ../xapian-core/m4 libtoolize --force autoconf autoheader automake --add-missing ./configure make Is this normal? 2014-12-07 22:37 GMT+08:00 James Aylett <james-xapian at

Hello Everyone, I want to do some work for the xapian project, for starting I am thinking of working on small project like replacing getopt(), and then later something big. I also want to apply for this years GSoC, so can someone please guide me about the details. Thanks, Rajan

Hi, I am interested in doing some developement work for xapian. I have built the xapian core library on my system and also tried my hands on a few features of xapian. For the past few days I have been going through the code base of xapian. I am trying to understand how the features are implemented ( i tried looking into the codes of porter stemming and list encoding) but I've not had any

Hey guys,I am a 3rd year Computer Science undergrad student.I a extremely interested in contributing code to the XAPIAN project.

I Can code in C,C++ and Python and have experience in Natural Lanuage Processing.Am also quite comfortable with NLTK and using Wordnet.Am

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. Regards Karthik On Mon, Sep 22, 2014 at 4:23 PM, Olly Betts
