Attached please find some research I did in exploring a technique I came up with using cellular automata in the field of Information Retrieval. While the results of the experiments are not what I had hoped, the basic logic of the approach is valid. I offer it here for others to continue the exploration.

I believe all the files necessary are included in the7-zip file attached. If any are missing please post a message here. I will zip them up and attach them here.

There is a dependency hierarchy to these notebooks. The 'main' bottom one (or top or left or right depending on your viewpoint) is the one that begins with the word 'Rule'. Running this will execute all the other dependencies.

The 'main' notebook is designed to be copied so you can experiment with different rules and documents. If you have a box with some serious horsepower, or have a lot of patience, you can even run all documents through one rule by adding a 'For' construct.


Enjoy.

Apparently I can't attach a 7 zip file. Darn.

Ok, I repackaged this with WinZip but it didn't come out as nicely. To use the Java stemmer code you'll have to unzip this in your directory, then create a Stemmer directory and put the Stemmer.class and Stemmer.java files in there. Everything else should be fine.

one last try

Thinking there might have been something wrong that particular day, I am trying to upload again.


Posted by: Ed Meier

since I can't upload all the files, here is the top notebook so you can see what kind of research I was doing.

Sounds very interesting, but, Could you repost your file, please ? If this forum don't manage zip files, just upload it on a server and give us the link.

thanks.
