Puerto Rico Daily News & Image Searches. Driving traffic to Puerto Rico’s best media sites. The fastest way to find news and images relevant to Puerto Rico. Coming soon to http://www.miislita.com

I think this can be applied to many knowledge domains without making the same mistakes from similar services across the Web.  For now, baby steps.

We have added a new round of similarity measures to our Binary Similarity Calculator, for a total of 30.

http://www.miislita.com/binary-similarity-calculator/binary-similarity-calculator.php

We plan to add few more in the future, so more data miners, researchers, and students can benefit from it. We plan to make this a comprehensive project on similarity analysis. For this purposes, several doctoral theses are deployed. Any help, correction, feedback is appreciated.

The Web Crawler is Back!

≈ Leave a Comment

Our popular tool, The Web Crawler, is back! This new iteration of the tool is a lot more faster because is based on a different strategy: extractions of HREF sets and then refinement of these to get URLs that are qualified for status checks. So the tool also works as a link checker.

Another advantage of the above strategy is this:

A set of HREFs may contain information about absolute and relative URLs, visible and hidden links, internal and external file paths, email addresses, css files, local javascript calls, and anchors (#). A subset of HREFs can also be used as pointers to anchor text information. So, a set of HREFs can be more informative than a mere set of links or URLs as it subsumes both.

Tracking Users: An Email Crawler on Steroids

We have added to our email crawler

(http://www.miislita.com/email-crawler/email-crawler.php)

the following features:

1. A User Tracking Session (just find the link and click on it) to view current user data.

2. Search for user email addresses in the top search engines and social networks

Give it a try.

We plan to add the tracking session feature to all our pages. This feature is now visible to gives you an idea of how it works, but can be invisible to users. Geo and search data can be added in a snap.

Why pay monthly fees when you can have your own tracking service, customized to your needs?

The Binary Distance Calculator, a new tool for computing the distance or dissimilarity (lack of resemblance) between any two binary sets of same size is available now at http://www.miislita.com Its FAQs section includes a clear definition of distance in the context of Information Retrieval and Mathematics.

This tool was developed to complement The Binary Similarity Calculator, one of our popular tools.

Fractalettes: A Fractal Design Strategy to Color Mining and Learning through Discovery

We have just published this short article, based on The Color Miner tool:

Fractalettes: A Fractal Design Strategy to Color Mining and Learning through Discovery - Based on Fractal Geometry, fractalettes are color palettes within color palettes, where each cell contains color space information and relationships. These types of architectures engage end-users in data mining, critical thinking, and learning through discovery.
