Hi Bruce, i am not familiar with intelectual property law, but it sounds somewhat strange to me, that it is possible to patent an abstract idea of hom extracting information from data. i can understand, that it is forbidden to reuse/modify sourcecode of a given implementation of lsi, but why shouldn´t i build my own indexer, if able to do so? btw, do you know the owner of the patent? thanks a lot thomas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hello , now that the topic is clustering methods: has there been any effort in implementing Latent semantic indexing in Lucene? Google only indicates someone else asking this in february. Is there an overview of the structure of the index of lucene despite of the javadoc or any other fast access to understanding what happens inside lucene? regards thomas - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
