IndriUI Index not building

Question

I am trying to build index using Indri UI. I created parameter files and stopword lists for building the index. When I click build index, the UI keeps building for long time and the index is never built.

UI hangs here,

Here is my input.txt file,

Here is my stopwords.txt,

<parameters>
<stopper> 
<word>happy</word>
<word>wondeful</word>
<word>sad</word>
<word>cute</word>
</stopper>
</parameters>

Am I missing something? Please help me with this and I am new to IR.I have no idea about the parameter file. I created one and I am not sure where it is used.

Answer 1

What I did for stopword list, I simply write each word in each line without any tags. Also what I think is the correct way for TRECTEXT format is having each document in one tag of <DOC></DOC> and then inside this tage put the </DOCNO> and </TEXT> tag. For example:
