Lets suppose that I wanted to develop a piece of software and I need
to use some advanced algorithms. For example "document classification"
algorithms may be used. How would I go about finding a comprehensive
list of available "document classification" algorithms without
subscribing to tons of trade journals. Maybe there isn't a way.
Thanks. |

Greetings!
When you say a "comprehensive list", are you seeking:
- a simple list of the different named algorithms
- a list of the different named algorithms which includes their
mathematical formulas; or
- a list of algorithms which includes all the "rules" used in the algorithms?
Thanks,

Hello aceresearcher,
A simple list with just the names of algorithms would do fine. By
comprhensive I just mean complete. I can always find the names of a
few algorithms but I want to be reasonably confident that I know most
or all of them for a given problem. Thanks for responding.

Thanks for your clarification.
Because the universe of computer algorithms is immense, as well as an
ever-moving target, it would be difficult for anyone to maintain a
list that is both "comprehensive" and current.
When it comes to a specific type of algorithm, it might be possible to
locate lists which are reasonably comprehensive and relatively
current.
Since it sounds like you may be needing lists of various types of
algorithms, it is unlikely that there exists a single source which
would meet your needs.
Would you be willing to accept as an Answer some detailed Search
Strategies for locating lists of the type of algorithm you might need
for any given project?

Sure that makes sense. I am really only looking for "Document
Classification" algorithms at this time. By this I mean, text
classification such as "Naive Bayes Implementation" for spam
filtering. I don't mean algoithms to extract text and content from
images and things. Thank You.

Spam filtering is actually only a subset of document classification,
so I encourage you to modify your Question to specify "comprehensive
list of spam filtering algorithms" if that is what you are seeking.
Bear in mind, too, that companies which have developed spam filtering
software often keep significant chunks of their algorithms secret,
because their particular algorithms are what make their software stand
out from everyone else's packages.
Best Wishes,

Hello aceresearcher,
I realize that document classification is a science in itself and I
was only using the spam filtering algorithm as an example becuase it
just happens to be a general document classification algoithm that was
adapted for spam filtering. I don't really need spam filetering
algorithms. So I was looking for just some general document
classification algorithms. Of course patented and unknown proprietary
methods cannot possibly be listed. Thank You.
