Welcome to Eva's Geeklog Site
Changed from Ewiki to Dokuwiki
I have moved from the Ewiki to the Dokuwiki plugin, as there is no support for UTF-8 in Ewiki. (There's still a problem searching the articles in Dokuwiki, but I'm working on that.)
Feel the grooveDancing can be hard, but I've seen people doing worse than the robots taking part in the Robot Dance Competition in Tokyo.
Moving, reviving and restoring the site
This site has been down since June 2009, due to an accident during system upgrade of the old server (out of my control), where the database and most recent backup was lost. The site has now been moved to a new server, updated to a new version of Geeklog, and revived and restored from an old backup (from July 2007). Some of the missing articles were fortunately cached by Google, and will be resubmitted as soon as possible, as will any additional changes made to the information structure that I can remember.
Publish or perish

Madame Bovary online
The manuscripts of the novel Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert are made available online at http://bovary.univ-rouen.fr/ as a searchable, integrated, version (in French). You can view a page print and a transcribed version side by side, as well as follow any changes to the original wording and time plans for the plot, etc. Very interesting initiative.
Cheers!
Who said language technology isn't fun?
ELRA-S0299 Alcohol Language Corpus (BAS ALC) ALC contains recordings of 88 German speakers that are either intoxicated or sober. The type of speech ranges from read single digits to full conversation style. Recordings were done during drinking test where speakers drank beer or wine to reach a self-chosen level of alcoholic intoxication. Recordings were performed in two standing automobiles. In the intoxicated state 30 items were sampled from each speaker, while in the sober state 60 items were recorded. For more information, see: http://catalog.elra.info/product_info...ts_id=1097 (from the corpora mailing list)

Viewzi - a visual search engineViewzi is a visual search engine with a view. Or, should I say many views. There is actually a bunch of them, and you can shift quite seamlessly between them (there was a slight problem with queries including åäö), depending on what you're looking for. I particularly liked the timeline view. For textual search of non-news, the text view is probably best, although it takes a while to load all thumbnails. Various indices are sought for various views, and ranking is taken from, for example, Alexa. I wonder a bit about how the final ranking in the text view is done, though. It doesn't say much about the techniques used on the site.

Who's OnlineGuest Users: 3About Eva's GeekLogWelcome to this site, which has no real name and doesn't work properly yet. I intend to write and collect stuff that has to do with language technology, and in particular information access and summarisation, although other topics might also emerge. Any opinions expressed here are those of the authors, not of ABC-klubben. Any questions should be sent to Eva or Admin (which is the same person, but with differing access rights). Some information will be in English, and some in Swedish, and maybe in additional languages I can read, as well. As I learn more about the content management system (Geeklog), features will appear and disappear, and the layout will change. For the moment, you cannot contribute anything, but you should be able to read most of the little content that is already here.
