For about a year now there has been GPL version of Snob, the automatic classifier that uses Minimum Message Length for induction. It is quite advanced and has consistently outperformed NASA's autoclass in published comparisons, which is more remarkable considering that it was first written in 1968.
I packaged this awhile back but didn't try to become an official developer. I would now like to make Snob (technically snob-vanilla) a part of Debian, so I need a mentor. Marco has already agreed to help me with matplotlib, but here's a package I've already done. The website with description, documentation, and links to the .deb files is: http://www.datamining.monash.edu.au/software/snob/ The .deb files are available The direct package links (x86, ppc) are: http://www.datamining.monash.edu.au/software/snob/binaries/snob-vanilla_1.1-1_i386.deb http://www.datamining.monash.edu.au/software/snob/binaries/snob-vanilla_1.1-1_powerpc.deb Thanks for any help. Now while you think about that, on to matplotlib. Well, after the next job application. :-) -Charles -- Charles R.
