Feed Description: In an effort to realize the "grow together" spirit, the developers of lift have teamed up with other great minds in the Scala community to bring you Scala-Blogs.org. Our mission is to strengthen the community by sharing our experiences and knowledge so that others can learn from our mistakes and triumph along with our successes.
At Scala-Blogs.org you will find tutorials and articles written by a growing host of enthusiasts, each with a different background and area of expertise.
I'd like to announce the first release of ScalaNLP, an open-source collection of libraries with the goal of making Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning research easier.
Currently, ScalaNLP consists of 3 projects:
* Core - A collection of utility libraries. * SMR - Scala Map Reduce, a wrapper library for Hadoop with some stand alone support. * Scalala - A Scala Linear algebra library inspired by Matlab
Today, I'm mostly announcing Core, which consists of sampling routines for many distributions, counters (specialized numeric-valued maps), and some support for managing datasets. There are essentially no off the shelf tools at the moment; hopefully in the future there will be.
