JavaNLP Meetings Notes 11/05/2003

1) ObjectBank

I’ve attached a diagram that I gleaned from our last discussion on the ObjectBank architecture.  Jenny will present another prototype of the interface, and hopefully, we can have a spec for implementation this week.

2) Updates:

Chris:

- removed old Internable interface

- improved ImportAnalyzer

Dan:

- checked in Maps class that allows you to do things like compose and invert maps

- new finite state automaton

- clustering code almost ready

Galen:

- deprecated methods in Counter that are now in NormalizedCounter

Jenny:

- pretty double printing in class util.PrettyDouble

Roger:

- finished up GeneralizedCounter (todo: convenience methods for creating lists out of 2 or 3 arguments)

Kristina:

- Random walk implementation in redwoods package

Teg:

- confirmed that ASCII grammars do work properly

- grammars can now be markovized and binarized with nicer names
