But... where do I find some definitions of the original BK-tree idea? I looked through Amazon and only a few books mention something like BK-Tree and these are mostly conference minutes books, at ungodly prices. I also did a quick Google on it and there isn't that much about the subject. http://blog.notdot.net/archives/30-Damn-Cool-Algorithms,-Part-1-BK-Trees.html is the one I mostly saw referred. So... 2 questions: 1. More bk-tree references? I can follow the code, but some understanding of the background would be nice. 2. What, if any, is a good book to understand the basic of fuzzy/ string matching? Proximity/affinity problems? Or, more generally, a good book on advanced algorithms? No, I don't wanna read Knuth's just yet, something more modern/easy to follow maybe? Something like 'Programming Collective Intelligence', ISBN 0596529325, would be very nice, though it is perhaps a bit too specific in its applications. Books using Java or C are fine. Lisp, hmmm, well... I have trouble reading its notation, sorry. Cheers JLuc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
