Experiment labels shortened.
New key to specify the query mode, that is, the 'title', 'description' or 'narrative' portion of a TREC query.
Handles the 'q_mode' key in a layout in retrieve(). Also, passes the 'system' key to Topics.query().
Experiment output directoris and index directory layout has changed.
q_mode thing is dropped. The topic mode (that is, a combination of 't', 'd', 'n') is specified with each run. The topic string in the layout is then a ':'-separated 3-part string. The first two parts are mandatory, the last is optional.
retrieve() now handles the 3-part topic string in layout.
Drafted 'layout' description.
Trivial changes.
Trivial. Error msg edited.
Updated.
Section on analysis and layout.
o_base now points to the string that would be used to label the top-level output directory, within which each experiment's output will reside.
The output deirectory for experiments is changed, so has conf. Accordingly the code has changed. Some messages were rewritten for clarity.
Checks for missing t-d-n portions.
spin() is simpler. It takes one string argument.
Longer field for the testcol column.
Trivial changes.
