The Lemur Toolkit

The Lemur Toolkit APIs have been deprecated. The final released version of the Lemur Toolkit is version 4.12, released 06/21/2010.


The Lemur Toolkit is designed to facilitate research in language modeling and information retrieval (IR), where IR is broadly interpreted to include such technologies as ad hoc and distributed retrieval with structured queries, cross-language IR, summarization, filtering, and categorization. The system's underlying architecture was built to support the technologies above. We provide many useful sample applications, but have designed the toolkit to allow you to easily program your own customizations and applications.
