I just decided yesterday to use version control for my programming assignments, but I never thought about using it for a research paper. That a great idea, come to think of it, because I usually keep a dozen or so revisions of my paper throughout the editing process.

cool! Dirichlet is missing there, would help, I think, to see it added.
If you have Gamma, it is easy to generate Dirichlet (it is a normalized Gamma vector.)

Comment on Old English Translator by Gwen

I haven’t studied OE myself, though I plan to, but I was wondering how one would translate “Now sing I of the sister’s prophecy.”

I’ve wrangled this out by translating word-for-word: “Nú, ic i ágæle þára sweostor forebícnunge.” But I’m afraid it’s probably pretty wrangled.

Do you have any suggestions on how it might be better translated?
Thanks!

Heyo, just came across your post and I’m very interested in running a local name entity recognizer/extractor. I have some code that relies on third party apis but it’s far too slow. I was hoping for a solid ruby gem that handled NER fairly well (80%+ identification) but haven’t come across one yet.

As a fall back I can use connector words and urls as delimiters, as well as look for capitalized words to identify named entities.
