Description-en: Tilburg Memory Based Learner
Memory-Based Learning (MBL) is a machine-learning method applicable to a wide
range of tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP).
.
The Tilburg Memory Based Learner, TiMBL, is a tool for NLP research, and for
many other domains where classification tasks are learned from examples. It
is an efficient implementation of k-nearest neighbor classifier.
.
TiMBL's features are:
* Fast, decision-tree-based implementation of k-nearest neighbor
classification;
* Implementations of IB1 and IB2, IGTree, TRIBL, and TRIBL2 algorithms;
* Similarity metrics: Overlap, MVDM, Jeffrey Divergence, Dot product, Cosine;
* Feature weighting metrics: information gain, gain ratio, chi squared,
shared variance;
* Distance weighting metrics: inverse, inverse linear, exponential decay;
* Extensive verbosity options to inspect nearest neighbor sets;
* Server functionality and extensive API;
* Fast leave-one-out testing and internal cross-validation;
* and Handles user-defined example weighting.
.
TiMBL is a product of the ILK Research Group (Tilburg University, The
Netherlands) and the CLiPS Research Centre (University of Antwerp, Belgium).
.
If you do scientific research in NLP, timbl will likely be of use to you.
