From the post:
LucidWorks has three new modules available in the Solr Marketplace that run on top of your existing Solr or LucidWorks Search instance. Join us for an overview of each module and learn how implementing one, two or all three will turbo-charge your Solr instance.
- Business Rules Engine: Out of the box integration with Drools, the popular open-source business rules engine is now available for Solr and LucidWorks Search. With the LucidWorks Business Rules module, developers can write complex rules using declarative syntax with very little programming. Data can be modified, cleaned and enriched through multiple permutations and combinations.
- Relevancy Workbench: Experiment with different search parameters to understand the impact of these changes to search results. With intuitive, color-code and side-by-side comparisons of results for different sets of parameters, users can quickly tune their application to produce the results they need. The Relevancy Workbench encourages experimentation with a visual “before and after” view of the results of parameter changes.
- Entity Recognition: Enhance Search applications beyond simple keyword search by adding intelligence through metadata. Help classify common patterns from unstructured data/content into predefined categories. Examples include names of persons, organizations, locations, expressions of time, quantities, monetary values, percentages etc.
All of these modules will be of interest to topic mappers who are processing bulk data.
