Re: [infomap-nlp-users] infomap for languages other than English

[Dominic W. <wi...@go...>]

Hi Shiva,

Please accept my apologies as well: my Sourceforge account has been
dormant for too long.

Scott is right, Semantic Vectors
(http://code.google.com/p/semanticvectors/) is an actively supported
descendent of Infomap. Its tokenization is based upon Apache Lucene
and as far as I know, nobody has had any problems with UTF8 or
right-to-left languages. If you were to try it out, I'd appreciate any
feedback you have.

Best wishes,
Dominic
