On Monday, July 9th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear a talk by
Itamar Syn-Hershko:
Hebrew search---not a trivial task (Hebmorph)
Abstract
Search engines available today render almost useless when you need to
process Hebrew texts. Even effective open-source solutions like
Lucene/Solr give up in despair when handed a Hebrew corpus to index.
HebMorph is an open-source project with the ultimate goal of solving
this problem, and in the best way possible. In-depth understanding of
how search engines work triggers ideas, ideas become software parts, and
those in turn are experimented with various state of the art search
engines. HebMorph already has a production-ready solution with several
happy users. It is now in the phase of further development and relevance
testing.
This talk is all about practical Hebrew search. We will see how search
engines work, and learn how we can use their power to make our
applications better for us and for our users. This will allow us to get
a glimpse at the large array of issues Hebrew poses to search engines,
and after seeing some real-world examples we will get to know how
HebMorph approaches this.
