Revision history for Perl extension AI::Categorizer.

 - The t/01-naive_bayes.t test was failing (instead of skipping) when
   Algorithm::NaiveBayes wasn't installed.  Now it skips.

0.08 - Tue Mar 20 19:39:41 2007

 - Added a ChiSquared feature selection class. [Francois Paradis]

 - Changed the web locations of the reuters-21578 corpus that
   eg/demo.pl uses, since the location it referenced previously has
   gone away.

 - The building & installing process now uses Module::Build rather
   than ExtUtils::MakeMaker.

 - When the features_kept mechanism was used to explicitly state the
   features to use, and the scan_first parameter was left as its
   default value, the features_kept mechanism would silently fail to
   do anything.  This has now been fixed. [Spotted by Arnaud Gaudinat]

 - Recent versions of Weka have changed the name of the SVM class, so
   I've updated it in our test (t/03-weka.t) of the Weka wrapper
   too. [Sebastien Aperghis-Tramoni]

0.07  Tue May  6 16:15:04 CDT 2003

 - Oops - eg/demo.pl and t/15-knowledge_set.t didn't make it into the
   MANIFEST, so they weren't included in the 0.06 distribution.
   [Spotted by Zoltan Barta]

0.06 Tue Apr 22 10:27:26 CDT 2003

 - Added a relatively simple example script at the request of several
   people, at eg/demo.pl

 - Forgot to note a dependency on Algorithm::NaiveBayes in version
   0.05.  Fixed.

 - AI::Categorizer class wasn't loading AI::Categorizer::KnowledgeSet
   class.  Fixed.

 - Fixed a bug in which the 'documents' and 'categories' parameters to
   the KnowledgeSet objects were never accepted, claiming that it
   failed the "All are Document objects" or "All are Category objects"
   callbacks. [Spotted by rob@phraud.org]

 - Moved the 'stopword_file' parameter from Categorizer.pm to the
   Collection class.

0.05  Sat Mar 29 00:38:21 CST 2003

 - Feature selection is now handled by an abstract FeatureSelector
   framework class.  Currently the only concrete subclass implemented
   is FeatureSelector::DocFrequency.  The 'feature_selection'
   parameter has been replaced with a 'feature_selector_class'
   parameter.

 - Added a k-Nearest-Neighbor machine learner. [First revision
   implemented by David Bell]

 - Added a Rocchio machine learner. [Partially implemented by Xiaobo
   Li]

 - Added a "Guesser" machine learner which simply uses overall class
   probabilities to make categorization decisions.  Sometimes useful
   for providing a set of baseline scores against which to evaluate
   other machine learners.

 - The NaiveBayes learner is now a wrapper around my new
   Algorithm::NaiveBayes module, which is just the old NaiveBayes code
   from here, turned into its own standalone module.

 - Much more extensive regression testing of the code.

 - Added a Document subclass for XML documents. [Implemented by
   Jae-Moon Lee] Its interface is still unstable, it may change in
   later releases.

 - Added a 'Build.PL' file for an alternate installation method using
   Module::Build.

 - Fixed a problem in the Hypothesis' best_category() method that
   would often result in the wrong category being reported.  Added a
   regression test to exercise the Hypothesis class.  [Spotted by
   Xiaobo Li]

 - The 'categorizer' script now records more useful benchmarking
   information about time & memory in its outfile.

 - The AI::Categorizer->dump_parameters() method now tries to avoid
   showing you its entire list of stopwords.

 - Document objects now use a default 'name' if none is supplied.

 - For some Learner classes, the generated Hypothesis objects had
   non-functioning all_categories() methods.  Fixed.

 - The Collection::Files class now uses File::Spec internally to
   manage cross-platform filenames.

 - Added the 'stopword_behavior' parameter for controlling how
   stopword lists and stemming interact.  Previously, if stopwords &
   stemming were both used, stopwords were assumed to be pre-stemmed,
   which often isn't the case.
