Lucene vs. LingPipe vs. GATE
Dear fellow Java/Lucene developers:
I have been working with lucene for the past year or so in developing search
applications, and just recently discovered another API for Java called
LingPipe. I have never used LingPipe, and would like to know what is the
difference between the two, and if not, when should you use which tool?
I've been to LingPipe's website, but it does not clarify how it
distinguishes itself from Lucene. Is it also used for indexing and
searching documents like Lucene, or is it a tool that you would use
alongside Lucene to get better/different results? What does it do, that
Lucene can't?
I am also saying this because a new book just came called: Building Search
Applications: Lucene, LingPipe, and Gate
http://www.amazon.com/Building-Search-Applications-Lucene-LingPipe/dp/0615204252
I haven't been able to come up with much about GATE either. Can anyone
explain more about LingPipe and Gate?
Thanks in advance.

>From what I can see on the JavaDocs of LingPipe, it is more for text
analyzing not searching. You could for example use the tokenizer package to
tokenize your text/query before indexing/searching with these tokenizers
instead of Lucene's. This could be done using a wrapper that transforms a
LingPipe Tokenizer
(http://alias-i.com/lingpipe/docs/api/com/aliasi/tokenizer/package-summary.h
tml) to a Lucene TokenStream or something like that.
LingPipe also contains functions that help with analyzing which language a
text is from or others. About using the Clustering algorithms with Lucene, I
do not know.
I could think of using Lucene extended by some functions from LingPipe. From
the amazon page, it seems, that this book is about that, it combines the
three tools to create a web search engine.
