This repository contains the system developed by Team BASETTE for the CLEF 2025 LongEval Lab (Task 1 – Web Retrieval).
The work, published in the CLEF 2025 Working Notes, describes a configurable and multithreaded Information Retrieval system built in Java and powered by Apache Lucene.
The system was designed to run efficiently on basic, resource-constrained hardware, deliberately avoiding GPUs, while achieving high performance through classical IR techniques, parallel indexing, and query processing.
Hyperparameter optimization was conducted using Optuna, and the project explores both effective and discarded strategies for robust retrieval under real-world conditions.

ArenaStudios A.P.S. – custom Minecraft network and non-profit association.
Co-founded and developed a fully custom infrastructure supporting Minecraft 1.8 – 1.21.x with capacity for 3000+ concurrent players and 100% uptime.
