I come in not as a Ruby programmer,I just follow your postings from a Python programmer POV :) I'm working on the fuzzy intelligence for that sound-like service since a month. Given that a huge db of edit-distances between words is probably practical on some machines (I suppose a table 500000x500000/2 of floats would give some results), what I'm building is a clusterer for words to subdivide the words population in small sets each linked to some neighbours ,having only small qgram-distance words inside. For what it's worth clustering involve AI as it's a simple form of training. Ciau all, have fun ___________________________________ Yahoo!
