Hello, dbacl seems really nice. It is also pretty fast. Probably it is better to stay with this tool, instead of using the my AI engine. Especially because the person writing it, probably knows what he does. However I think the Tokenizer I wrote could be reused - to create the <package>.token files. It is most likely smarter than simply taking the output of "apt-cache dumpavail". Even though I hate all those "gut feelings", I don't have the time to do some real test if it actually is so. Hanna, whom I hoped might have some time to do this (and some more knowledge), did not deign to respond any of the mails I sent to the list or directly to her.

Well that is if you launch the script once for each package. If you use the Perl classes directly without rereading the package descriptions for each file, and also hold the classes for the tags in the memory, this should be not that bad. Probably not as fast as aocl either. > One could do more things, like giving dbacl a set of categories (all > tags, even) and ask it in which ones it thinks the package fits. (WOW) As dbacl seems much more mature and sophisticated than my AI-engine, I suggest to concentrate on this tool. However some of the lessons I've learned with the AI tagger might come in handy for dbacl too. One is that the a smart tokenizer increases the precision. Another is that a training ratio of 2:1 (bad:good) might increase the precision too. But that may also depend on the underlying bayesian implementation. Perhaps the framework of the bayesian-tagger perlscript can be also used to launch the dbacl -- but probably Enrico is faster hacking some bash scripts... /me was impressed by what Enrico did with bash together with pipes and all those neat little tools. Perhaps I should learn bash and some more Linux commands after 5 years of excessivly using Linux. > Mornfall did a bit of experiments on this front as well. What do you do? > It's all quite exciting! That it is indeed! Greetings Ben _______________________________________________ Debtags-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/debtags-devel
