Search by subject for ebooks?
by Jared Buck 12 Aug '06

12 Aug '06

Hey, would there be any way we could be able to create a system for searching by subject matter for books? I have a mind to create a CD of books about and by native american indians for a girl i really like and the search mechanism is just not robust enough, searching full text takes too much time either. Being able to enter a single term under subject should be able to bring up a whole list of books related to that subject matter. Like, searching for science fiction should bring up a list of books that ARE science fiction, not just books with the words "science fiction" in the title or in the text. Jared

(precisely like you did, many people got a big laugh out of it.) i googled "all your base are belong to us" -- the exact phrase -- and got 956,000 hits on it, to give you an idea of its spread... of course, most versions are now variations, like this one was.

google releases some cool data

google is releasing some very cool data into the wild, based on a corpus of a trillion words from web-pages. one trillion. if you know anything about previous projects in this vein, you'll know that a corpus this big is totally unprecedented. as google points out -- > http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2006/08/all-our-n-gram-are-belong-to-you… -- this data is quite useful across a wide spectrum of arenas, including "statistical machine translation, speech recognition, spelling correction, entity detection, information extraction..." you'll note that we've discussed some of these topics before... -bowerbird p.s. this entry to google's official blog was posted by two people from the "google machine translation team", for whatever that might mean... i've suspected their research labs are _way_ out front on these things, and the near future will see a _lot_ of advances coming from them...

Registry of US Government Publication Digitzation Projects
by Tony Baechler 07 Aug '06

Hi all, This might be of interest to some of you. As you probably know, all US government publications are already in the public domain so no clearance is necessary. The site isn't clear as to how the various items will be made available, I.E. page images, text, etc but one could assume that all content could be added to PG. Also, people from this list might want to make suggestions for what should be digitized first. The below is from the rss feed of http://www.researchbuzz.org/ . Did you know there was a Registry of US Government Publication Digtization Projects? Me neither. But there is, and you can both contribute your institutions projects and browse through the existing ones at http://www.gpoaccess.gov/legacy/registry/. There's not a lot here, unfortunately, though I like what I do see. You can do a [...] URL: http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/researchbuzz/main/~3/9307953/
