Searching for a few of the broad categories here http://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy-0.12.0/reference/ I am able to quickly turns up PDL equivalents of many of categories of things SciPy does. YMMV. (CRF is not amongst this list--natively--nor something that one would expect an image processing library to have developed initially... and of course somebody has to write the first implementation ;-) FWIW There's Algorithm::CRF and CRF++'s own Perl shim <http://code.google.com/p/crfpp/source/browse/trunk/perl/> _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
