Abstract:
Intrinsic image decomposition separates an image into a reflectance layer and a shading layer. Automatic intrinsic image decomposition remains a significant challenge, particularly for real-world scenes. Advances on this longstanding problem have been spurred by public datasets of ground truth data, such as the MIT Intrinsic Images dataset. However, the difficulty of acquiring ground truth data has meant that such datasets cover a small range of materials and objects. In contrast, real-world scenes contain a rich range of shapes and materials, lit by complex illumination.
In this paper we introduce Intrinsic Images in the Wild, a large-scale, public dataset for evaluating intrinsic image decompositions of indoor scenes. We create this benchmark through millions of crowdsourced annotations of relative comparisons of material properties at pairs of points in each scene. Crowdsourcing enables a scalable approach to acquiring a large database, and uses the ability of humans to judge material comparisons, despite variations in illumination. Given our database, we develop a dense CRF-based intrinsic image algorithm for images in the wild that outperforms a range of state-of-the-art intrinsic image algorithms. Intrinsic image decomposition remains a challenging problem; we release our code and database publicly to support future research on this problem, available online at http://intrinsic.cs.cornell.edu/.

"The New Old Mill" State and Main
By Ross Anthony
This briskly-paced dry comedy portrays the daily trials and tribulations of a film crew as they field obstacle after obstacle in Smalltown, America. The most blaring predicament - how to write the old mill out of a script entitled "The Old Mill?"
"Why did we have to leave New Hampshire?" the bumbling writer asks the producer who is never at a loss for a quick fix answer or "associate producer" credit with which to patronize a discouraged contributor.
There's the actress refusing to expose herself after recently finding God, the writer who can't create without a manual typewriter, the male lead actor with a fetish for underage girls and the local townsfolk spinning a love story or two into the mix.
Cute, cozy and wryly funny; the film, feeling of "Northern Exposure" is slightly too TV. This is a small drawback, especially in the face of a thumping bustling pace that the filmmakers maintain from beginning to end. The only other shortcoming (and again a small one) lies in the casting. Populated by many interesting characters, the writer eventually becomes the focal person. Though, Philip Seymour Hoffman, performs fine, he simply doesn't elicit the compassion of the audience. Other actors who may have been better suited for the role include: Will Smith, Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson.

KDE 4.2 Beta 2
Recently I downloaded the Kubuntu packages of the new KDE 4.2 beta 2. For those of you who don’t know; KDE is the K Desktop Environment; which includes a window manager (KWin), common desktop applications, its own menu (Kickoff), browser (Konqueror), file manager (dolphin) etc. Basically it is the most popular desktop environment on Linux next to Gnome.
*KDE 4.2 Beta 2 with Kickoff Menu visible
*
**What is so special about KDE? **
The philosophy of KDE is the advanced configuration it allows through
its Graphical User Interface (GUI),
this is versus Gnome which chooses sane
defaults and leaves configuration in hard to reach places and
out-of-sight. This isn’t to say KDE doesn’t choose sane defaults; it
does and is very user-friendly. KDE has always been the more
Windows-like of the major desktop environments and this hasn’t really
changed in KDE 4.X series. KDE is available in popular distributions of
Linux such as Kubuntu, Mandriva,
OpenSuse. The special part about 4.X
series is that for the first time for any Linux desktop environment; it
is fully cross-platform, easily installs and works on Microsoft Windows
and Apple Mac OS X.
KDE 4.2 Panel; with KOrganizer calendar open
Whats new in 4.2?
Stability. Ever since KDE started the really beautiful 4.X branch
they have gotten harsh criticism for stability problems. This is not
surprising as KDE 3.5 was the result of years of bugfixing and stability
fixes and was really rock solid stable; in fact I don’t remember it
crashing at all in the times I used it; but I have been a Gnome user for
a while. This criticism was deserved; but perhaps premature: KDE always
stated this almost ground-up rewrite of everything major wasn’t going to
be pretty and it wasn’t. I used KDE 4.0 and KDE 4.1 and both crashed
frequently; especially Plasma since it powers almost everything on the
desktop.
Desktop Effects
With this release comes the introduction of desktop effects; if your
graphics card is supported. I think this is a great move since projects
like Compiz required hacked in dectection of KDE or Gnome and I suspect
this was coded in; it really makes sense to have desktop effects in the
core; as it will really help stabilise them as the KDE4.X branch
matures.
*
*
Better Customisation
You can now control height and length of the menu bar; as well as add
many more plasma applets to it. The Kmenu replacement Kickoff has
stepped up to the plate in this release and features almost a complete
set of icons for any application (much to my chargrin in earlier release
a lot of ? icons could be seen). Also more customisation and preference
panes of Plasmoids are allowed.
Desktop Effects in KDE 4.2 Beta 2
Full major feature overview is here.
So whats the final assessment?
When this is released I definately recommend you try it! This is the
first release of the 4.X branch I would be happy to install and support
on my family’s desktop. Since I don’t often get to access it physically
to fix problems; this is one area I couldn’t trust either 4.0 or 4.1 to
behave. It still isn’t as feature-completed or as stable as 3.5 series;
but in my opinion it is damn close and approaching fast; get it while
its hot!!
Kubuntu Instructions to get KDE 4.2 Beta 2 on Kubuntu Intrepid 8.10


 I can’t believe it just happened. After literally hundreds of hours of work, thousands of answered questions, 140,000 delegated steem power from 200 separate delegations, and growing a 3K person Discord Server it FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!
WOOT MUTHAFUCKAHs I’m a top 50 witness!!!!
My name is on the fuckin’ Page! This is a yuuuuuge dream come true for me! I’m tearing up because I’m so stoked to help this community by spreading a very simple message of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty! I want to growth hack Steemit. I want to help Minnows grow! I couldn’t be happier that this simple plan is catching hold and this community is responding!
There’s a lot of pain on Steemit especially from the new accounts. To see how we are able to help them and support them have been incredible. We have people from so many nations, languages, genders, continents, and various planets in there it’s incredible to see it all still function. We have minnows trending, going to STEEMFEST, becoming dolphins, and setting off plans to change the course of this place!
We’re gonna hit 4k people by the end of this month, and we’re still warming up!!!
MSP has a radio show coming out!
MSP has a website coming out!!!
MSP has a community calendar coming soon! I mean we are by far the largest off chain Steemit community now! We have an obligation to help people plan their events and host a central coordination plan!
What an incredible honor!!!
This is one of the top accomplishments of my life! I’m thrilled. Honored! Stoked!  I’m so grateful for your support and I’m only more encouraged to keep trying to change lives with Steemit!
Nothin but love for the witnesses that have helped build MSP. Nothin’ but love for the whales that support me! And I hope the MSP crew knows that I’m doing everything I can to help you guys grow. Through an empowered community we’re going to grow together! I’m blessed to count you as friends!
I really do love you guys. Hopefully I’ll see you in Boston for the meetup on Tuesday August 1st at Knight Moves in Brookline at 6:30 in the evening.
Thanks to the whale supporters. I couldn’t be here without you!
Literally none of this would be possible without the ongoing support of @benjojo and the 195 other delegations to the Minnow Support Project community accounts. We’re honored to have the delegations and I’m thankful that you also see the benefit to having 1600 votes per day on the minnows themselves as a wonderful accomplishment!
If you’d like to see all of our delegations or you yourself delegation please check out- http://mspdelegator.herokuapp.com/
To celebrate I’m doing a fundraiser for MSP. I’ll resteem the top 5 bids for resteems. You can bid more than once. Just put in a comment with number of resteems and price per resteem.
If you want to vote my witness then all you gotta do is click this https://steemit.com/~witnesses, and click the button next to my name. EZPZ WOOOOOT!
This page is synchronized from the post: ‘2 months, 3,000 people, a bitchin’’ organization, 140k delegated SP from 200 separate delegations, working 30-40 hours a week for 10 straight weeks, and apparently that’’s all you have to do for top 50 Witness!!!! (MSP RESTEEM FUNDRAISER)’


F5 Identity and Access Management Solutions > Class 1: SAML Federation with F5 Source | Edit on
Lab 4: [Optional] SaaS Federation iApp Lab¶
The purpose of this lab is to familiarize the Student with the new SaaS Federation iApp. Students will use the iApp to create a federation relationship with a commonly used SaaS provider. This lab will leverage the work performed previously in Lab 3. Archive files are available for the completed Lab 3.
Objective:
- Gain an understanding of the new SaaS Federation iApp and its features.
- Deploy a working SaaS federation using the iApp to a commonly used SaaS provider
Lab Requirements:
- All lab requirements will be noted in the tasks that follow
Estimated completion time: 25 minutes
TASK 1 – Create a new SaaS SAML Service Provider (SP)¶
Navigate to Access ‑> Federation ‑> SAML Identity Provider ‑> External SP Connectors

Click OK on the dialog box
TASK 2 - Deploy the SaaS Federation iApp¶
Navigate to iApps ‑> Application Services -> Applications and click on the Plus (+) Sign as shown
In the resulting New Application Service window, enter saas as the Name
Select
f5.saas_idp.v1.0.rc1
from the Template drop down menuNote
The iApp template has already been downloaded and imported for this lab. You can download the latest iApp templates from https://downloads.f5.com/
Configure the iApp template as follows:
SaaS Applications Application: New federation relationship with salesforce.com
SP: salesforce
Display Name: SalesForce
SP Initiated: No
BIG-IP APM Configuration What EntityID do you want to use for your SaaS applications? https://idp.f5demo.com/idp/f5/
Should the iApp create a new AAA server or use an existing one? f5demo_ad
BIG-IP Virtual Server What is the IP address clients will use to access the BIG-IP IdP Service? <IP_ADDRESS>
What port do you want to use for the virtual server? 443
Which certificate do you want this BIG-IP system to use for client authentication? idp.f5demo.com.crt
What is the associated private key? idp.f5demo.com.key
Note
We are deploying the iApp on a different IP so that you can see how everything is built out; however, this IdP will not work, as the
idp.f5demo.com
FQDN resolves to another IP. We are going to use the iApp to create the SAML resource that we will assign to our existing access policy from Lab 3.IdP Encryption Certificate and Key Which certificate do you want to use to encrypt your SAML Assertion? SAML.crt
What is the associated private key? SAML.key
Scroll to the bottom of the configuration template and click Finished
Once deployed, you can review the built out SaaS Federation iApp at iApps ‑> Application Services ‑> Applications ‑> saas
Review the new virtual servers created by the iApp at Local Traffic ‑> Virtual Server ‑> Virtual Server List
Review the new Access Policy built by the iApp at Access ‑> Profiles/Policies ‑> Access Profiles (Per-Session Policies) and select the Edit link next to the saas Access Policy
Test the SaaS iApp by clicking on the bookmark in your browser.
Note
Navigating to the virtual server by IP will produce a certificate warning. This is expected. Click through the warning to see the resulting page.
TASK 3 - Modify the SAML IdP Access Policy¶
The previous task, Task 2, was to provide you an understanding of how the SaaS Federation iApp can automatically build a configuration for you.
In this task we will be modifying the existing Webtop from prior labs to add the SaaS SalesForce application. The purpose of the task is so you can see the F5Demo App and SalesForce in the same Webtop.
Using the same Access Policy from Lab 3, navigate to Access ‑> Profiles/Policies ‑> Access Profiles (Per-Session Policies) and click the Edit link next to the previously created
idp.f5demo.com-policy
In the Visual Policy Editor window for
/Common/idp.f5demo.com‑policy

whatsapp-web.js
A WhatsApp API client that connects through the WhatsApp Web browser app
It uses Puppeteer to run a real instance of Whatsapp Web to avoid getting blocked.
NOTE: I can't guarantee you will not be blocked by using this method, although it has worked for me. WhatsApp does not allow bots or unofficial clients on their platform, so this shouldn't be considered totally safe.
Quick Links
- Guide / Getting Started (work in progress)
- Reference documentation
- GitHub
- npm
Installation
The module is now available on npm! npm i whatsapp-web.js
Please note that Node v12+ is required.
Example usage
const { Client } = require('whatsapp-web.js');
const client = new Client();
client.on('qr', (qr) => {
// Generate and scan this code with your phone
console.log('QR RECEIVED', qr);
});
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log('Client is ready!');
});
client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.body == '!ping') {
msg.reply('pong');
}
});
client.initialize();

The DB_ENV->rep_set_transport() method configures the replication system's communications infrastructure.
The DB_ENV->rep_start() method configures (or reconfigures) an existing database environment to be a replication master or client.
The DB_ENV->rep_process_message() method is used to process incoming messages from other environments in the replication group. For clients, it is responsible for accepting log records and updating the local databases based on messages from the master. For both the master and the clients, it is responsible for handling administrative functions (for example, the protocol for dealing with lost messages), and permitting new clients to join an active replication group. This method should only be called after the replication system's communications infrastructure has been configured via DB_ENV->rep_set_transport().
The DB_ENV->rep_elect() method causes the replication group to elect a new master; it is called whenever contact with the master is lost and the application wants the remaining sites to select a new master.
The DB_ENV->set_event_notify() method is needed for applications to discover important replication-related events, such as the result of an election and appointment of a new master.
The DB_ENV->rep_set_priority() method configures the local site's priority for the purpose of elections.
This method optionally configures various timeout values. Otherwise default timeout values as specified in DB_ENV->rep_set_timeout() are used.
The DB_ENV->rep_set_limit() method imposes an upper bound on the amount of data that will be sent in response to a single call to DB_ENV->rep_process_message(). During client recovery, that is, when a replica site is trying to synchronize with the master, clients may ask the master for a large number of log records. If it is going to harm an application for the master message loop to remain busy for an extended period transmitting records to the replica, then the application will want to use DB_ENV->rep_set_limit() to limit the amount of data the master will send before relinquishing control and accepting other messages.
This method sets a threshold for the minimum and maximum time that a client waits before requesting retransmission of a missing message.
Base API applications may configure one or more view sites. A view is a full or partial copy of the replicated data that does not otherwise participate in the replication group. For more information, see Replication views.
In addition to the methods previously described, Base API applications may also call the following methods, as needed: DB_ENV->rep_stat(), DB_ENV->rep_sync() and DB_ENV->rep_set_config()

1.3. Scaling Wind Tunnel Data¶
Due to size limitations, the physical size of the structure in the wind tunnel will be different from the real world structure. As a consequence of this scaling laws due to Similitude <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Similitude_(model)> are used to convert the data coming from a wind tunnel experiment to forces acting on the real structure.
Wind Tunnel Data¶
The data obtained from the wind tunnel contains the following:
Building Dimensions. For example for a cuboid shaped building this would contain: height, breadth(width) and depth.
Time. The time step, \(\Delta t\), or frequency, \(f\), of the data.
Time history of pressure tap data. This data is provided as the Pressure Coefficient, Cp and is a dimensionless parameter.
Location of pressure taps.
Time Step for Real Structure Transient Analysis¶
Due to similitude is is necessary to convert the time step \(\Delta t_M\) or frequency \(f_M\) obtained from wind tunnel data to one that is used in the transient analysis of the real structure, \(\Delta t_R\) or \(f_R\). (note: the subscript \(M\) is used for model parameter and subscript \(R\) for real world structure). This is done by determining some scale factors which relate ratios of quantity in model scale to quantity in real world scale.
length factor, \(\lambda_L = \frac{D_M}{D_R}\)
time factor: \(\lambda_T= \frac{\Delta t_M}{\Delta t_R}\)
velocity factor: \(\lambda_V= \frac{V_M}{V_R}\)
where \(D\) represents the length dimension, \(\Delta t\) the time step, and \(V\) the velocity.
There is a relationship between these scaling factors obtained from the definition of Velocity (\(V = \frac{D}{\Delta t}\)) which is
It is this relationship which can then be used to determine \(\Delta t_R\)
It should be noted that the model and the real structure should have geometric similarity. This means that the model should scale similariliy in all directions to the real world structure. In calculations used in SimCenter the length factor hL is calculated using the height of the real structure and the height of the model.
Force Calculation on Real Structure Floors¶
The pressure at a location in the real structure corresponding to a pressure tap location in the model can be obtained from the following equation:
where \(V_R\) is the wind speed and \(\rho\) the full scale air density, typically \(1.225kg/m^3\). It should be noted that the pressures in the wind tunnel are not needed, this is because \(C_p\) is a dimensionless parameter. It should also be noted that it is essential that the wind speed Vr have same basis as the model wind speed \(V_M\), i.e. averaging period, elevation, and vertical profile.
The forces on the structure can be calculated integrating the pressures over the external surface area of the building.
As the pressure are not of course known for all points on the building, the approximation used is to break the building into a number of sections and assuming the pressure is constant over that section determine the force on the section and from that the force on the building. In the SimCenter application, the current approach is for each story divide the surface of the building story into a number of sections. For each section we determine the closest tap location to obtain a Cp for that section. The force and moment contributed to the floor above and below the section are done assuming simply supported beam theory.
where \(F_A\) represents force on floor A due to section between floors A and B and \(M_A\) the moment contribution due to these sections. These are calculated from \(F_{A section}\) the force contribution to floor A due to a particular section, \(a\) distance of centroid of section to floor \(a\), \(b\) distance from centroid of section to floor b, and \(c\) distance to centroid of section to centroid of building face.

A matter of great public concern over the past few years has been the incidence of police violence in the United States. This has led to the rise of Black Lives Matter and significant new reporting on the subject.
Data on this subject is notoriously bad. However, some independent reporting efforts from major news outlets have created impressive databases in the last few years.
The map below shows every death by police in 2015 and 2016. Each dot represents one death, and is color coded based on race, and darker or lighter depending on whether the victim was armed or unarmed.
The data used in this visualization is from The Guardian's project entitled "The Counted". It is an ongoing project that tracks deaths resulting from police violence in the US. Their project does a very good job of statistics on a state-wide basis, as well as some interesting statistics based on race. I thought a useful expansion of this would be to bring in the armed/unarmed element. Therefore, the interaction between race and whether the victim was armed seems important to analyze, as police misconduct is clearest when the victim was unarmed.
This chart illustrates that there is in fact a disparity between how differently armed victims have differing outcomes depending on their race. Most shocking is the clear disparity between Blacks and Native Americans and other racial groups. While unarmed, they are more than twice as likely to be killed by police, and nearly twice as likely to be killed regardless.
There are certainly arguments to be made regarding whether it is fair to measure these distinctions purely on a racial basis. It is very likely that there are factors such as share of violent crime committed, and socioeconomic factors beneath those. Nonetheless, the fact that there is twice the likelihood of an unarmed person of certain races to be killed over other races is something that is unlikely to be explained away by other factors.
In short, much, much worse.  According to research by Rutgers University Professor Paul Hirschfield and further research by The Guardian:
You may have asked yourself 'Why is this data coming from a British newspaper than the American government?' while reading through this. This is a very valid concern that has become a significant conversation in recent months. FBI director James Comey has said it is "ridiculous" and "embarrrassing" that news publications such as the Guardian and the Washington Post have more comprehensive data about fatal police encounters than the Federal government does.
While there have been efforts to comprehensively track this sort of data, it still largely remains a mess. However, the Bureau of Justice Statistics has recently released a more comprehensive report, and the Justice Department recently announced new rules that require departments to produce quarterly reports detailing deaths in custody or during police encounters. Failure to comply with these rules would mean a reduction in federal funding.
Despite this good news, the bad news is that this reporting may be threatened by a Trump presidency. It will be up to a Department of Justice most likely led by Jeff Sessions to actually enforce these new rules. This will be an important area to keep an eye on, and is a very important step in increasing police accountability and hopefully reducing police violence.

4.12.7 Modification of Running Code: Examples
The following examples show what happens when a procedure is modified while it is
running. This can happen in two ways:
- The procedure calls some other procedure that modifies it.
- The procedure succeeds nondeterminately, and a subsequent goal makes
the modification.
In either case, the question arises
as to whether the modifications take effect upon backtracking into the
modified procedure. In SICStus Prolog the answer is that they do not.
As explained in the overview to this section (see
ref-mdb-bas), modifications to a procedure affect only
calls to that procedure that occur after the modification.

DStv launches new channels
by Staff WriterMultiChoice has launched two new channels on its DStv platform – CBS Justice and CuriosityStream.
Both of the channels went live this morning.
The company has also made Euronews (channel 414) available on all DStv packages in South Africa.
Euronews was previously available to DStv Compact Plus subscribers in other African countries.
Non-fiction content
CBS Justice is a 24/7 crime channel which is available to Premium and Compact Plus subscribers on DStv channel 170.
Its content will include crime investigation documentaries and shows, with titles such as CSI, NCIS, and Diagnosis Murder.
CuriosityStream is a Premium-only offering and is being aired on channel 185.
This channel’s programme includes non-fictional documentaries and series covering science, nature, technology, history, lifestyle, and society.
Its line-up includes shows such as Genius by Stephen Hawking, Wonders of Life, and Deep Time History.
Channel changes
In October 2019, DStv announced that it was cutting three channels – History, Crime and Investigation, and Lifetime – from its bouquet.
The decision was made due to the contract term with the provider of these channels, American broadcasting company A&E Networks, coming to an end on 1 November.
DStv later managed to secure an agreement to keep History and Lifetime on its platform.

Alpha diversity is a measure of species richness or diversity within an individual sample. The simplest way of measuring it is the enumeration of OTUs present in that sample, also called species richness (sobs). There are different diversity indices that capture also the structure of the community, including: 1) chao - the Chao1 estimator; 2) shannon - the Shannon index; and 3) invsimpson - the inverse Simpson index.
Rarefaction curves are useful for estimating the sufficiency of sequencing depth/effort per sample. This is achieved by observing how the number of species (richness) change over increasing number of reads. Rarefaction curves provide a way of comparing the richness observed in different samples. To plot curves, each sample is randomly subsampled without replacement at different intervals, and the average number of OTUs at each interval is plotted against the size of the sumsample. The point at which the number of OTUs does not increase with further sampling is the point at which enough samples have been taken to accurately characterize the community. Different y-axis measurements can be plotted including: number of observed OTUs, Chao1 and Shannon index.
Select a measure:
Beta diversity is a method to compare samples to each other. It provides a measure of the distance or dissimilarity between each sample pair. Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCoA) can be used for visualization of the data present in the beta diversity distance matrix in the form of 2-Dimensional or 3-Dimensional plots. PCoA transforms the distance matrix into a new set of orthogonal axes where the first axis in the (also known as PC1) can be used to explain the maximum amount of variation present in the dataset, followed by the second axis (PC2), and so on. Here, we use the distance measurements Bray Curtis.
Select a plot:
For every taxonomic level, the relative abundances of all OTUs sharing the same taxonomy are summed. This agglomeration of relative abundances is calculated also for sequences of unknown taxonomic placement but otherwise sharing the same root. Stacked relative abundance bar plots are produced for all samples at any given taxonomic level. This graphical representation may help to quickly visualize overall composition differences.

About Silk
The Web of Data is built upon two simple ideas: First, to employ the RDF data model to publish structured data on the Web. Second, to set explicit RDF links between data items within different data sources. Background information about the Web of Data is found at the wiki pages of the W3C Linking Open Data community effort, in the overview article Linked Data - The Story So Far and in the tutorial on How to publish Linked Data on the Web.
The Silk Link Discovery Framework supports data publishers in accomplishing the second task. Using the declarative Silk - Link Specification Language (Silk-LSL), developers can specify which types of RDF links should be discovered between data sources as well as which conditions data items must fulfill in order to be interlinked. These link conditions may combine various similarity metrics and can take the graph around a data item into account, which is addressed using an RDF path language. Silk accesses the data sources that should be interlinked via the SPARQL protocol and can thus be used against local as well as remote SPARQL endpoints.
Silk can be used through the Silk Workbench graphical user interface or from the command line. Both variants are based on the Silk Link Discovery Engine which offers the following features:
- Flexible, declarative language for specifying linkage rules
- Support of RDF link generation (owl:sameAs links as well as other types)
- Employment in distributed environments (by accessing local and remote SPARQL endpoints)
- Usable in situations where terms from different vocabularies are mixed and where no consistent RDFS or OWL schemata exist
- Scalability and high performance through efficient data handling (speedup factor of 20 compared to Silk 0.2):
- Reduction of network load by caching and reusing of SPARQL result sets
- Multi-threaded computation of the data item comparisons (3 million comparisons per minute on a Core2 Duo)
- Optional blocking of data items
Silk Workbench
Silk Workbench is a web application which guides the user through the process of interlinking different data sources.
Silk Workbench offers the following features:
- It enables the user to manage different sets of data sources and linking tasks.
- It offers a graphical editor which enables the user to easily create and edit link specifications.
- As finding a good linking heuristics is usually an iterative process, the Silk Workbench makes it possible for the user to quickly evaluate the links which are generated by the current link specification.
- It allows the user to create and edit a set of reference links used to evaluate the current link specification.
Silk Command Line Applications
In addition to the Workbench, Silk provides three different command line applications for executing link specifications:
- Silk Single Machine is used to generate RDF links on a single machine. The datasets that should be interlinked can either reside on the same machine or on remote machines which are accessed via the SPARQL protocol. Silk Single Machine provides multithreading and caching. In addition, the performance is further enhanced using the MultiBlock blocking algorithm.
- Silk MapReduce is used to generate RDF links between data sets using a cluster of multiple machines. Silk MapReduce is based on Hadoop and can for instance be run on Amazon Elastic MapReduce. Silk MapReduce enables Silk to scale out to very big datasets by distributing the link generation to multiple machines.
- Silk Server can be used as an identity resolution component within applications that consume Linked Data from the Web. Silk Server provides an HTTP API for matching entities from an incoming stream of RDF data while keeping track of known entities. It can be used for instance together with a Linked Data crawler to populate a local duplicate-free cache with data from the Web.
Silk Free Text Preprocessor
The main goal of the Free Text Pre-processing tool is to produce a structured representation of data that contains or is derived from free text. The tool takes as input an RDF file with properties with free text values and an additional RDF file that contains structured data used to learn the extraction model. Based on the learned model the tool extracts new property-value pairs from free text. The resulting output is an RDF dump file containing the extracted structured values. Using a declarative XML-based language, a user can specify which extraction methods to use.
Documentation of the Silk Free Text Preprocessor is available in the Wiki.
