• Inverse Laplace examples
• Dirac delta function
• Useful link of the day: Firefox user agent strings
• Design Overview presentation.
• Working on (simple!) name disambiguation
  • Building word chains of sequential tokens that are entities (PERSON and ORGANIZATION) Done
  • Given a name, split by spaces and get best match on last name, then look ahead one or two words for best match on first name. If both sets are triples, then check the middle. Wound up iterating over all the elements looking for the best match. This does let things like reverse order work. Not sure if it’s best
  • Checks need to look for initials for first and middle name in source and target. Still working on this one.
  • Results (lower is better):
