+# Elasticsearch
+
+For now, all we have is some rough notes on the experiments we did
+during the Hack Day on 5th March 2017.
+
+## Details of experiments
+
+This is what we tried:
+
+- Install elasticsearch
+
+- `/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/plugin install mobz/elasticsearch-head`
+
+- Go to http://localhost:9200/_plugin/head/
+
+- Click on the `Any Request` tab
+
+- Create an index `muti` with settings by submitting the following
+  "query" (API request):
+
+    - POST http://localhost:9200/muti
+
+            {
+              "analysis": {
+                "char_filter": {
+                  "&_to_and": {
+                    "type": "mapping",
+                    "mappings": [
+                      "&=> and "
+                    ]
+                  }
+                },
+                "filter": {
+                  "filter_stop": {
+                    "type": "stop"
+                  },
+                  "filter_shingle": {
+                    "type": "shingle",
+                    "max_shingle_size": 5,
+                    "min_shingle_size": 2,
+                    "output_unigrams": "true"
+                  }
+                },
+                "analyzer": {
+                  "analyzer_shingle": {
+                    "type": "custom",
+                    "char_filter": [
+                      "html_strip",
+                      "&_to_and"
+                    ],
+                    "tokenizer": "standard",
+                    "filter": [
+                      "standard",
+                      "lowercase",
+                      "filter_stop",
+                      "filter_shingle"
+                    ]
+                  }
+                }
+              }
+            }
+
+- Create types for the `muti` index
+
+    - PUT http://localhost:9200/muti/meetings/_mapping
+
+            {
+              "properties": {
+                "meetingId": {
+                  "index": "not_analyzed",
+                  "type": "string"
+                },
+                "minister": {
+                  "analyzer": "analyzer_shingle",
+                  "type": "string"
+                },
+                "department": {
+                  "analyzer": "analyzer_shingle",
+                  "type": "string"
+                },
+                "organization": {
+                  "analyzer": "analyzer_shingle",
+                  "type": "string"
+                },
+                "reason": {
+                  "analyzer": "analyzer_shingle",
+                  "type": "string"
+                }
+              }
+            }
+
+- Index documents
+
+    - POST http://localhost:9200/muti/meetings where the body takes
+      this format:
+
+            {
+              "meetingId" : meeting_ref,
+              "minister" : minister,
+              "department" : department,
+              "organization" : org,
+              "reason" : reason,
+            }
+
+      See https://github.com/aspiers/MinistersUnderTheInfluence/releases/tag/elasticsearch-push-2017-03-05
+      for code which we successfully used to do this.
+
+- Try an unfiltered search with aggregations
+
+    - POST http://localhost:9200/muti/meetings/_search
+
+            {
+                "from": 0,
+                "query": {
+                    "match_all": {}
+                },

+# Natural Language Toolkit in MUTI
+
+For now, all we have is some rough notes on the experiments we did
+during the Hack Day on 5th March 2017.
+
+## Details of experiments
+
+This is what we tried:
+
+- Run `python` to get an interactive REPL
+
+- `import nltk`
+
+- Run `nltk.download_shell()` and fetch the following:
+    - `words`
+    - `averaged_perceptron_tagger`
+    - `punkt`
+    - `maxent_ne_chunker`
+
+- Run the following:
+
+        from nltk import pos_tag, ne_chunk, word_tokenize
+
+        # Pick a random chunk of text
+        x = "Public sector mutuals and co-ops, Government Digital Services - Digital by Default, Implications of the Francis report (Mid Staffs) for all public services"
+        tree = ne_chunk(pos_tag(word_tokenize(x)))
+
+        for node in tree:
+            if isinstance(node, nltk.tree.Tree):
+            print(node)
+
+The results didn't look very useful and we gave up / ran out of time
+at that point.
