Hi Joern, Chris and everyone!
Thanks for this warm welcome! I'm very happy to join you as a committer and looking forward to
contributing to this great project as much as I can!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Koji Sekiguchi. I launched my company RONDHUIT, which is
specialized in information retrieval, 11 yeas ago, based in Tokyo. We use Lucene/Solr and provide
consulting, support and education services. We also develop a search product using Lucene/Solr. I'm
a committer of Lucene/Solr as well.
Through my work in RONDHUIT, as I became interested in NLP, I entered a graduate school 5 years ago
and belonged to NLP lab. As the result of my study, I started a new open source project NLP4L (NLP
for Lucene). NLP4L has a set of tools which can be used to improve the search result, based on a
strategy we advocate [1] to solve the trade-off problem between the recall and the precision. In the
project, we use OpenNLP. If anyone who would like to join us, please let me know. :)
I'm now studying NameFinder to see whether we can use it for Japanese. I'd like to contribute the
result of my study to the community in the near future.
Besides work, I like to walk in good weather, read novels and have exercise at
sports gym.
Thanks!
Koji
