Doğacan Güney updated NUTCH-25:
-------------------------------

    Attachment: NUTCH-25_v4.patch

New version, I am going to commit this one after a couple of days if there are 
no objections.

* Don't merge confidences in EncodingDetector as it seems merging them
  gives worse results. 

  OK, I though this would result in better matches but it seems I was mistaken 
:). 
    
* Read from a file in main() instead of stdin.


There is still some stuff not completely discussed (such as when to add/not add 
different confidence values), but I don't see those blocking this from going 
in. Even though this latest patch may not be optimal, it is still a big 
improvement over what we have now. So unless there is a big bad bug somewhere 
or there is an easy obvious improvement that can be done, I am going to commit 
this patch (note that current javadocs are wrong, I am going to update them 
before commit). We can then discuss how to improve encoding detection on 
different issues.

> this is a follow-up to bug 993380 (figure out 'charset'
> from the meta tag).
> Although we can cover a lot of ground using the 'C-T'
> header field in in the HTTP header and the
> corresponding meta tag in html documents (and in case
> of XML, we have to use a similar but a different
> 'parsing'), in the wild, there are a lot of documents
> without any information about the character encoding
> used. Browsers like Mozilla and search engines like
> Google use character encoding detectors to deal with
> these 'unlabelled' documents. 
> Mozilla's character encoding detector is GPL/MPL'd and
> we might be able to port it to Java. Unfortunately,
> it's not fool-proof. However, along with some other
> heuristic used by Mozilla and elsewhere, it'll be
> possible to achieve a high rate of the detection. 
> The following page has links to some other related pages.
> http://trainedmonkey.com/week/2004/26
> In addition to the character encoding detection, we
> also need to detect the language of a document, which
> is even harder and should be a separate bug (although
> it's related).
