Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Joost van Baal <joostvb-debian-bugs-20101204-3@mdcc.cx> * Package name : timbl Version : 6.3.0 Upstream Author : ILK Research Group, Tilburg University, http://ilk.uvt.nl * URL : http://ilk.uvt.nl/timbl * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: C++ Description : Tilburg Memory Based Learner Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a machine-learning method applicable to a wide range of tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP). . The Tilburg Memory Based Learner, TiMBL, is a tool for NLP research, and for many other domains where classification tasks are learned from examples. It is an efficient implementation of k-nearest neighbor classifier. . TiMBL's features are: * Fast, decision-tree-based implementation of k-nearest neighbor classification; * Implementations of IB1 and IB2, IGTree, TRIBL, and TRIBL2 algorithms; * Similarity metrics: Overlap, MVDM, Jeffrey Divergence, Dot product, Cosine; * Feature weighting metrics: information gain, gain ratio, chi squared, shared variance; * Distance weighting metrics: inverse, inverse linear, exponential decay; * Extensive verbosity options to inspect nearest neighbor sets; * Server functionality and extensive API; * Fast leave-one-out testing and internal cross-validation; and Handles user-defined example weighting. . TiMBL is a product of the ILK (Induction of Linguistic Knowledge) research group of the Tilburg University and the CNTS research group of the University of Antwerp. . If you do scientific research in NLP, timbl will likely be of use to you. ----- The current TiMBL upstream release is available from http://ilk.uvt.nl/downloads/pub/software/timbl-6.3.0.tar.gz .
