node-indri: Moving the Indri Toolkit to the Modern Web Stack
Abstract: We introduce node-indri, a Node.js module that acts as a wrapper around the Indri toolkit, and thus makes an established IR toolkit accessible to the modern web stack. node-indri exposes many of Indri’s functionalities and provides direct access to document content and retrieval scores for web development (in contrast to, for instance, the Pyndri wrapper). This setup reduces the amount of glue code that has to be developed and maintained when researching search interfaces, which today tend to be developed with specific JavaScript libraries such as React.js, Angular.js or Vue.js. The node-indri repository is open-sourced at https://github.com/felipemoraes/node-indri.
