Today has been one of my more exciting days building. I finally finished up my vocabulary engine.

The vocabulary engine lets me fine-tune my classification engine topic-by-topic and source-by-source. This will allow me to do some pretty sophisticated disambiguation, and I hope that it will make document classification all the more effective.

This is still a hand-defined engine, but I also wrote in the hooks for the machine-learning piece. That’s still a ways away, though.

I’ve been an IA geek for a little over fifteen years at this point. Having the system of my dreams is pretty cool. It’s pretty rewarding to have the system you’ve had in your head for a long time actually exist in the real world. I’m not quite a sculptor, but I have to imagine the feeling is the same.
