I have found the following tools quite handy for what you mention. They offer fully Java based implementations of a number of machine learning principles which is very handy. There is also a book available to complement the WEKA toolkit. http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka/ (WEKA - Machine learning toolkit) http://www.nzdl.org/Kea/ (Keyphrase extraction using WEKA) http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/%7Enzdl/textmining/index.html The Keyphrase ExtrAction toolkit works quite well but relies on being seeded with known summary information to build patterns. There are a number of papers on this topic which you can find at the above web sites. Not sure if this is helpful but it may be a start. regards Geoff -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
