"Employing Trainable String Similarity Metrics for Information
Integration". No it wasn't that one. I forgot the title, but most of
the code was actually garbled, it looked like they used a very faulty
OCR. Not to mention that even the letters that were OCR'd properly,
looked awful. PDF is supposed to be beautiful, not look like a badly
photocopied text. And it displays very slowly, which is odd. Its like
they've done something very wrong to the file format of the PDF. I
just don't get why they don't use HTML! They have a website, but don't
serve their documents in HTML??? HTML is the most accessible format,
more so than PDF. PDF is great for keeping the layout consistent, but
its still less accessible than HTML.
While the discussion of algorithms and especially discussion of an
algorithm's implementation in REALbasic are both on-topic subjects for
this list, the format someone chooses to publish an article in is not a
topic for this list. Please refrain from discussing off-topic things on
this list, such as the benefits or downfalls of academics and maths,
etc.
Thanks,
Jon
