[Xapian-devel] Learning to rank

[pankaj singhal]

Sir,

I have come across these C++ neural-frameworks:
FANN <http://leenissen.dk/fann/wp/>
Libann <http://www.nongnu.org/libann/doc/libann_4.html#SEC17>

I want you to look at the libraries as while incorporating them the need of
implementing the ML algo. from the scratch reduces.
Also I am going through the Xapian code base and trying to get familiar
with it.

regards,
