Description

Magni is a search engine made by students from the University of Tübingen. It contains implementations of many common natural language processing algorithms (such as tf-idf and logistic regression) to enhance it's performance and precision.

The search engine is capable of processing .txt and .pdf files in a given directory on your computer. You can enter a query and Magni will give you a sorted (with the best match on top) list of the documents in the selected directory for your query. You can fully customize how Magni searches, that is which algorithms it uses, if it speeds up the search by using clustering or removing stop words and so forth. So if you ever wondered (most likely you never did) how different NLP techniques affect a search, with Magni you can now try that out directly!

We also integrated tooltips with short descriptions (more in-depth explanations are included in the README) for all the algorithms you can select for your search.

A full documentation as well as the source code can be found on GitHub
