Hi all, I came to ruby from perl. The first thing I missed was the SmartComments package that allowed me to add progress indicators to loops, I couldn’t find any. Then I figured that maybe it wasn’t very hard, so I did it myself. I was thinking of publishing this. Is there anything like this already? . Stuff like copyright and stuff, I guess I’d like this as free as it gets, should I worry about that? About the actual code, do you find it useful? Are there any possible improvements you can think of. It’s the first time I publish anything open source. How should I go about it? I have a big Text Mining library I’m working on, and I plan to publish it soon. This is kind of a test 😛 Thanks for your time. - Miki ---

Dear Miki, I am very interested in the text Mining library, please inform me when ready, Fatmah Miki Vz [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: Hi all, I came to ruby from perl.

I does document classification and named entity extraction and normalization, and I’m yet to port from the earlier perl version the code for protein protein interaction detection. The library is already complete, and I’m using it for some text analysis system I’m working on. It also has a complete evaluation system for each step, using PubMed articles and the Biocreative data sets, so it should be useful for other researchers on the field. I have to still publish it, I guess I need to clean and organize the code a bit, and figure out all the copyrigth stuff. But I’m really looking forward, I’d love to have some input. mail me at mikisvaz at yahoo com and i’ll keep you informed. Cheers - Miki ---

My work is on subsegmental primes for speech recognition and I have plans to related to text recognition. Ok, I’ll be loking forward to see your work. thankx miki Miki Vz [removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid](mailto:removed_email_address@domain.invalid) wrote: al\_batuul wrote: > Dear Miki, > > I am very interested in the text Mining library, please inform me when > ready, > Fatmah Its a library to process Text for Biology.
