Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Joost van Baal <joostvb-debian-bugs-20101224-3@mdcc.cx>

* Package name    : dimbl
  Version         : 0.7
  Upstream Author : ILK Research Group, Tilburg University, http://ilk.uvt.nl
* URL             : http://ilk.uvt.nl/dimbl/
* License         : GPL-3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : Distributed Memory Based Learner

 Dimbl is a wrapper around the k-nearest neighbor classifier in TiMBL, offering
 parallel classification on multi-CPU machines.  Dimbl splits the original
 training set, builds separate TiMBL classifiers per training subset, and
 merges their nearest-neighbor sets per classified instance
 .
 Dimbl's features are: * Wraps neatly around TiMBL, retaining all command line
 options; * Knows what to do with your multiple, duo, or quad cores; * Makes
 use of the OpenMP specification for parallel programming; * Can attain
 superlinear speed gains compared to standard TiMBL.
 .
 Dimbl 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 Natural Language Processing using the
 Memory-Based Learning technique, Dimbl will likely be of use to you.

----

Dimbl depends upon TiMBL, which is now in http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
