Terrier 3.5 released

Today, we are proud to announce a brand new release of Terrier, our state-of-the-art open source information retrieval platform. Terrier 3.5 represents a significant update over its previous version (Terrier 3.0), including:

• Document-at-a-time (DAAT) retrieval for large indices
• Refactored tokenisation for enhanced multi-language support
• Upgraded Hadoop support to version 0.20
• Synonym support in query language and retrieval
• Out-of-the box indexing support for query-biased summaries and improved example web-based interface
• New, 2nd generation DFR models as well as other recent effective information-theoretic models
• Fully revised and improved documentation
  
• Many more JUnit tests (now 300+)
