Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-1758: ------------------------------------- i think it is probably ready, the only other easy improvement I can think of at the moment is perhaps both this and LUCENE-1628 should include LowerCaseFilter. This has nothing to do with Arabic (it does not have case) but just user-friendliness for English content that is encountered. example from java-user: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-user/75631#75631 > improve arabic analyzer: light8 -> light10 > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-1758 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1758 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: contrib/analyzers > Reporter: Robert Muir > Assignee: Michael McCandless > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.9 > > Attachments: LUCENE-1758.patch, LUCENE-1758.txt > > > Someone mentioned on the java user list that the arabic analysis was not as > good as they would like. > This patch adds the لل- prefix (light10 algorithm versus light8 algorithm). > In the light10 paper, this improves precision from .390 to .413 > They mention this is not statistically significant, but it makes linguistic > sense and at least has been shown not to hurt. > In the future, I hope openrelevance will allow us to try some more > approaches. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: java-dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: java-dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
