Description : Distributed Memory Based Learner

Dimbl is a wrapper around the k-nearest neighbor classifier in TiMBL, offering
parallel classification on multi-CPU machines. Dimbl splits the original
training set, builds separate TiMBL classifiers per training subset, and
merges their nearest-neighbor sets per classified instance
.
Dimbl's features are: * Wraps neatly around TiMBL, retaining all command line
options; * Knows what to do with your multiple, duo, or quad cores; * Makes
use of the OpenMP specification for parallel programming; * Can attain
superlinear speed gains compared to standard TiMBL.
.
Dimbl is a product of the ILK (Induction of Linguistic Knowledge) research
group of the Tilburg University and the CNTS research group of the University
of Antwerp.
.
If you do scientific research in Natural Language Processing using the
Memory-Based Learning technique, Dimbl will likely be of use to you.

----

Dimbl depends upon TiMBL, which is now in http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html
