Hi all Thanks Rupert.
I think I can help in this task to create the Java API for disambiguation engines with classes to deal with suggestions, normalize values (between 0 and 1), generating new confidences from old confidences and weights, etc. Regards On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 1:14 PM, Rupert Westenthaler < rupert.westentha...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Andreas > > > On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 1:28 PM, Andreas Kuckartz <a.kucka...@ping.de> > wrote: > > Dileepa Jayakody: > >> I have successfully implemented and tested the foaf disambiguation > engine > >> with the help of Stanbol community including Rupert, Rafa and Andreas. > > > > +1 and thanks to Rupert and Rafa from here as well ! > > > > From my viewpoint working with Dileepa and Antonio was very rewarding. > Thanks for all the hard work both of them put into their GSoC > projects. > > >> Please have a look at the disambiguation-foaf engine, try it out and > give > >> your comments for improvements.
