Parent Description
-
While the FRDCSA has a ridiculous number of projects ongoing at any
time, a recently developing project has taken my fancy because it
promises to offer good dividends.
The project, called "Raiders of the
FTP Sites", well, speaks for itself.
It is a system that searches FTP
sites for interesting artifacts and retrieves them.
It works by
correlating subject matter of interest with FTP sites, extracting a
recursive directory listing of the FTP site, and then performing
several analyzes of the contents.
While still a very immature system,
it has yielded up a labelled resume corpus which will help the
job-search program.
