| <title>WordNet Lucene.Net Synonyms Integration</title> |
| </head> |
| <body> |
| This package uses synonyms defined by <a href="http:/www.cogsci.princeton.edu/~wn/"> |
| WordNet</a> to build a Lucene.Net index storing them, which in turn can be |
| used for query expansion. You normally run {@link WordNet.Net.Syns2Index} once |
| to build the query index/"database", and then call {@link |
| WordNet.Net.SynExpand#Expand SynExpand.Expand(...)} to expand a query. |
| <p> |
| <h3> |
| Instructions |
| </h3> |
| <ol> |
| <li> |
| Download the <a href="http://wordnet.princeton.edu/3.0/WNprolog-3.0.tar.gz">WordNet |
| prolog database</a> |
| , gunzip, untar etc. |
| <li> |
| Invoke Syn2Index as appropriate to build a synonym index. It'll take 2 |
| arguments, the path to wn_s.pl from that WordNet download, and the index name. |
| <li> |
| Update your UI so that as appropriate you call SynExpand.Expand(...) to expand |
| user queries with synonyms.</li> |
