We are happy to announce the release of Version 0.16 of the nameconflate program. This is the code that creates much of our experimental data for us these days, in that it takes two or more given names and conflates them in a corpus of text (so that we can go on to try and disambiguate the newly ambiouguous names.)
You can get the code here: http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Code/nameconflate-v0.16.tar.gz In version 0.16 we now allow for names to be specified via regular expressions, which opens up the possiblity of having multiple names refer to the same underlying entity, for example: Mr. Nixon and President Nixon and President Richard Nixon could all be used to refer to the same underlying entity (such that any occurrence of any of these forms is treated the same as any other). More details can be found in the README: http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Code/Readme.nameconflate-v0.16.txt Enjoy! Ted and Anagha -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse Yahoo!
