Resources

I used to maintain a (somewhat dated now) collection of resources in a variety of fields related to text, speech and language processing. These include computational linguistics, information retrieval and machine learning. Here you can find pointers to useful Web sites, as well as lists of relevant books, newsgroups and mailing lists, and much more.

• Explicit Semantic Analysis (ESA)
• WikiPrep (a Perl tool for preprocessing Wikipedia XML dumps)
• Bibliography on Automated Text Categorization
• TechTC - Technion Repository of Text Categorization Datasets
