All good things come to an end

My secondment has finally come to an end. Overall it was a great experience. From my point of view, knowledge transfer worked perfectly in both directions. The achieved results are quite nice, since we could show that title extraction works reliably with support vector machines to be used in subsequent de-duplication methods. Detailed results will follow soon in a publication and a deliverable. For de-duplication, the comparison between finger printing and inverted index based methods has been triggered and will now be continued by James Hammerton in Graz. Ago Luberg from Eliko also addresses similar topics, but in the different scenario of knowledge acquisition from the web. So my work on that topics will fortunately continue.

Overall i see the TEAM project becoming more and more successful in establishing knowledge transfer among all participants.
