Bug: "recent tags" listing is weird

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:23:00 -0400

The tags I see in "recent tags" on the front page are quite different from the actual content Here are the "recent tags" I get on the front page right now: 9 01a 7 blog We pause the listing here to note that the 01a links are all my own, and I haven't added anything to that category today. Actually the newest entry is from five days ago. On the whole, the "recent tags" listing looks eerily like my own personal tags, but I don't use "news", "games", "books_to_read", "wordpress", "themes", "portal", "mac", "freeware", "computers", "web", "lithuania", or "law". The rest of the listing is below. In the meantime, let me note that just now, the most frequent tags I see on the actual front page are linux, EDA (3 occurrences), software, ruimte, howto, finance, china, Wildlife, PotentialPurchases, Linux, KDE, Cams, and Birds (2 occurrences). Okay, here is the rest of the "recent tags" listing, in somewhat condensed format (all tags with the same occurrence count on the same line). 6 wiki software news games category books_to_read advocacy 00a 5 unix site programming history graphics emacs design deepsite 4 wordpress themes opensource extension erablog download development algorithm 3 portal mac linux hacker freeware delirioussiteblog deliriousbugs delirious debian css computing computers bugs 02a 2 www web society search sawfish music mail lithuania law internet Update: This bug still seems to be present in Rubric 0.09_01. Update: This looks like it's finally fixed in 0.10. Tagged by era under blog, bugs, deliriousbugs.fixed, delirioussiteblog, erablog, _fixed, rubric_0.08, rubric_0.09, 20060619-0123,

N-Gram-Based Text Categorization - Cavnar, Trenkle (ResearchIndex)

era — Mon, 19 Jun 2006 01:23:00 -0400

Cavnar, Trenkle (1994) - the popular paper behind TextCat et al. The ranking algorithm is kind of screwy, until you think of it as editing distance in an alphabet where each n-gram is a distinct symbol. Maybe it's still screwy.
