WhiteLab 2.1.0

Main updates in this version:

• Admin:
  • All lists in the Admin interface are now sortable.
  • Interface languages may no longer be removed through the interface, as this would break the application. The option has been replaced by an instruction on how to remove languages manually.
  • A configuration option has been added to the metadata field dialog to determine whether it is included in the metadata pop-up for a hit or document.
• Metadata:
  • The metadata filters now include options to select a random sample (percentage or absolute) from the total available in the index. Each sample has a unique seed number, which can also be entered in the interface to retrieve a past sample.
• Explore:
  • Statistics:
    • A button has been added to upload and execute XML query definitions, either exported from WhiteLab (see: Results) or independently constructed.
  • N-grams:
    • A button has been added to upload and execute XML query definitions, either exported from WhiteLab (see: Results) or independently constructed.
    • A button has been added to upload term lists to complement queries with gaps (~). This functionality is set to be added to BlackLab Server version 1.6.0. Until release of a compatible BlackLab Server version this button will only display a warning.
• Search:
  • Extended:
    • After selecting a Part-of-Speech tag, the specific features for that tag are displayed in a form for further refinement.
  • Advanced:
    • Besides selection of Part-of-Speech head tags, the input boxes now also list all possible Part-of-Speech features for easy selection.
    • The boxes can be dragged left and right to reorder the terms in the query.
  • Expert:
    • A button has been added to upload and execute XML query definitions, either exported from WhiteLab (see: Results) or independently constructed.
    • A button has been added to upload term lists to complement queries with gaps (~). This functionality is set to be added to BlackLab Server version 1.6.0. Until release of a compatible BlackLab Server version this button will only display a warning.
• Results:
  • Sorting has been reimplemented on all result views. NB: sorting hits on metadata features currently does not work in BlackLab Server (version 1.5.0). This has been reported and will be fixed in the near future.
  • The query details panel now includes a button to download an XML representation of your query, once executed.
  • Wherever logical, relative hit counts are reported.
  • A checkbox has been added to the query details panel to stop the counting of results after a set limit has been reached. The limit can be configured in the global application configuration.
  • Hits:
    • Hovering over a hit will display the metadata for that hit's document in a pop-up. The metadata that is displayed can be configured through the Admin interface.
  • Documents:
    • Hovering over a document will display the metadata for that document in a pop-up. The metadata that is displayed can be configured through the Admin interface.
  • Grouped hits:
    • Case sensitivity can now be turned off for grouping on token level features.
    • An option has been added to more precisely define the grouping context. One can choose to include words at specific positions left and/or right of the hit, or at specific positions inside the hit relative to its beginning or end.
