Search for [#] to get to question number # quickly. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: [5-1] AI Bibliographies available by FTP The Computer Science Department at the University of Saarbruecken, Germany, maintains a large bibliographic database of articles pertaining to the field of Artificial Intelligence. Currently the database contains more than 25,000 references, which can be retrieved by electronic mail from the LIDO mailserver at lido@cs.uni-sb.de. Send a mail message with subject line "lidosearch help info" to get instructions on using the mail server. A variety of queries based on author names, title and year of publication are possible. The references can be provided in BibTeX or Refer formats. The entire bibliographic database can be obtained for a fee by ftp or on tape. Questions may be directed to bib-1@cs.uni-sb.de. A variety of AI-related bibliographies are located on nexus.yorku.ca in the directory /pub/bibliographies. For information on a fairly complete bibliography of computational linguistics and natural language processing work from the 1980s, send mail to clbib@csli.stanford.edu with the subject HELP. Stanford University (SUMEX-AIM) has a large BibTeX bibliography of Artificial Intelligence papers and technical reports. Available by anonymous ftp from aim.stanford.edu:/pub/ai{1,2,3}.bib A BibTeX database of references addressing neuro-fuzzy issues can be obtained by anonymous ftp from ftp.tu-bs.de (134.169.34.15) in the directory local/papers as the (ascii) file fuzzy-nn.bib. Robert Dale's Natural Language Generation (NLG) bibliography is available by anonymous ftp from scott.cogsci.ed.uk [129.215.144.3] in the directory pub/nlg. Note that it is formatted for A4 paper.

Some of the sites provide only an online catalog of technical reports, while the rest make the actual reports available online. The email address listed is that of the appropriate person to contact with questions about ordering technical reports. When ftping compressed .Z files, remember to set the transfer type to binary first, using the command ftp> binary Other general locations for technical reports from several universities include: wuarchive.wustl.edu:/doc/techreports/ [128.252.135.4] cs-archive.uwaterloo.edu:cs-archive (see Index for an index) AKA watdragon.uwaterloo.ca [129.97.140.24] The uwaterloo archive includes tech reports from the Logic Programming and Artificial Intelligence Group (LPAIG) of the University of Waterloo. There is also a WAIS server containing tech report abstracts that can be searched. To use, create the file ~/wais-sources/cs-techreport-abstracts.src containing (:source :version 3 :ip-address "130.194.74.201" :ip-name "daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au" :tcp-port 210 :database-name "cs-techreport-abstracts" :cost 0.00 :cost-unit :free :maintainer "wais@daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au") and invoke your local wais client. To add to it, email abstracts of your papers to wais@rdt.monash.edu.au in the following format: %TI Title %AU Author (use multiple %AU lines for multiple authors) %PU Published In (citation information) %AV Availability (e.g., ftp reports.adm.cs.cmu.edu:1992/CMU-CS-92-101.ps) %OR Organization (see cs-techreport-archives.src for institution codes) %LT Local title (e.g., tech report number) %DA Date (and, if you want, %MN Month, %YR Year) %AB Abstract If your papers are not available by FTP, you can use a %AV line such as: %AV mail harry.bovik@cs.cmu.edu Further instructions are available from daneel.rdt.monash.edu.au:/pub/techreports/reports/README [Based on a post by Ashwin Ram.] An archive of linguistics papers and preprints is available from linguistics.archive.umich.edu:linguistics/papers/.

For more information, contact Donald Walker at Bellcore, walker@flash.bellcore.com. Two lists of common female first names (4967 names) and male first names (2924 names) are available for anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.cmu.edu in the directory user/ai/software/nlp/corpora/names/. Read the file README first. [Note that you must cd to this directory in one atomic operation, as superior directories are protected during an anonymous ftp.] Send mail to mkant@cs.cmu.edu for more information. A list of 110,000 English words (one per line, in ASCII) is available in the PD1: directory on SIMTEL20 as the files WORDS1.ZIP, WORDS2.ZIP, WORDS3.ZIP, and WORDS4.ZIP. Although the list is in MS-DOS files, it can easily be used on other machines (but first you'll have to unzip the files on a DOS machine). The list includes inflected forms of the words, such as plural nouns and the -s, -ed, and -ing forms of verbs; thus the number of lexical stems in the list is considerably smaller than the total number of word forms. These files are available via FTP from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL [192.88.110.20]. SIMTEL20 files are mirrored on wuarchive.wustl.edu. The Collins English Dictionary encoded as a Prolog fact base is available from the Oxford Text Archive by anonymous ftp from black.ox.ac.uk:ota/dicts/1192/ [129.67.1.165] The Oxford Text Archive includes many other texts, dictionaries, thesauri, word lists, and so on, most of which are available for scholarly use and research only. See the files black.ox.ac.uk:ota/textarchive.{form,info,list,sgml} for more information, or write to archive@ox.ac.uk, Oxford Text Archive, Oxford University Computing Services, 13 Banbury Road, Oxford OX2 6NN, UK, call 44-865-273238 or fax 44-865-273275. Chuck Wooters has extracted the most likely pronunciation for each of about 6100 words in the hand-labeled TIMIT database, and made them available by anonymous ftp from ftp.icsi.berkeley.edu:pub/speech/TIMIT.mostlikely.Z. A list of homophones from general American English is available by anonymous ftp from svr-ftp.eng.cam.ac.uk:comp.speech/data/ as the file homophones-1.01.txt. To receive the list by email, send mail to Evan.Antworth@sil.org. The list was compiled by Tony Robinson. Commercial: Illumind publishes the Moby Thesaurus (25,000 roots/1.2 million synonyms), Moby Words (560,000 entries), Moby Hyphenator (155,000 entries), and the Moby Part-of-Speech (214,000 entries) and Moby Pronunciator (167,000 entries with IPA encoding, syllabification, and primary, secondary, and tertiary stress marks) lexical databases. All databases are supplied in pure ASCII, royalty-free, in both Macintosh and MS-DOS disk formats (also in .Z file formats). Both commercial (to resell derived structures as part of commercial applications) and educational/research licenses are available. For more information, write to Illumind, Attn: Grady Ward, 3449 Martha Court, Arcata, CA 95521, call 707-826-7715, or send email to grady@netcom.com.

Mailing Lists: CORPORA is a mailing list for Text Corpora. It welcomes information and questions about text corpora such as availability, aspects of compiling and using corpora, software, tagging, parsing, and bibliography. To be added to the list, send a message to corpora-request@x400.hd.uib.no. Contributions should be sent to corpora@x400.hd.uib.no. Linguistic Data Consortium: The Linguistic Data Consortium was established to broaden the collection and distribution of speech and natural language data bases for the purposes of research and technology development in automatic speech recognition, natural language processing, and other areas where large amounts of linguistic data are needed. Information about the LDC is available by anonymous ftp from ftp.cis.upenn.edu:/pub/ldc [130.91.6.8]. Documents available in this directory include a paper on the background, rationale and goals of the LDC, a brief list of available data bases, and some tables summarizing these corpora.
