Hi Vik,

Very interesting stats, I would like to know how you generate a single key for each message by coalescing its representatives. How can I use keys to find exact duplicate or almost duplicates? Also do you know a source that can provide stemmed terms?

Example:

Wild cat
Cat behaves wildly
The cat is wild
Is she like a wild cat?
wildcats.com
Wild animals like to eat cat
She looks wild like her cat
John saved the cat from the wild animal

According to your algorithm all above should produce a unique key, right? and how your data analysis work in this example?

Thanks for your help.

Not the one I used but it looks reasonable.

Do you have any script for scraping(indexing) Tweets? I am in need of one to use AI in it..

We just integrated Heritrix with Solr using Java middleware, calling it YouSeer. The code is on SourceForge. We think this will compete with any of the open source search engines, such as Nutch and Hounder. We would appreciate any comments.

Best
