Dear subscribersI have received five positive responses asking for more details about this new algorithm. I am not sure about the best way to proceed (individual emails or posts to this list) and would appreciate advice:-) Below you will find a short description and if you are interested I'll be happy to explain the difference between this algorithm and a more traditional relational database.
- Principle: The main objective of this algorithm is to automatically classify bibliographies without human input. Instead of using predefined categories or classifications, the algorithm organises the bibliography on the basis of cited references provided by the articles that compose it.
- Getting started: A complete presentation of the algorithm is available at the following web page:
http://nucwww.chem.sunysb.edu/CLabadie/Thread.html
Several examples of bibliographies are provided as compressed files. One small bibliography is available online and can be previewed with a browser.
- Implementation: Currently the algorithm is implemented for windows-95 without GUI. I hope to get feedbacks from person who will use it to improve it and to eventually prepare a version for Linux/GNOME. Your comments, suggestions and criticisms are welcome.
- Download: The program for Win95 can be directly downloaded from the following URL:
http://nucwww.chem.sunysb.edu/CLabadie/gentil/CitationThread-3_0.zip
A test bibliography is also provided that can be used to try out the program.
I look forward to your inputs and questions:-)
