Lucene has term vector capability, which facilitates LSA types of
things. For a field you can get back all the terms in it, their
frequency, and their positions. Enabling this requires setting the
flag appropriately on the field during indexing.
Hope that helps.

Hi
I want to build a search-engine based on LSA (latent semantic
analysis).
How much of lucene's functionality could be reused? Could I use
lucene's
index to build up the "term by document" matrix? And of course, why?
TIA, Sebastian
