MEAD Bugs

• (Added 20 September, 2006) The sentence splitter in $MEAD_HOME/lib/MEAD/MEAD_ADDONS_UTIL.pm does not recognize sentence boundaries in sentences ending with abbreviations. For example, the following two sentences would not be split because the first sentence ends with "6 p.m.":

  Tornadoes can occur in any month, but are more frequent from April through June and between 3 and 6 p.m. Most tornadoes track southwest to northeast, but their paths can spiral erratically.

• (Added 17 October, 2006) $MEAD_HOME/bin/feature-scripts/lexrank/LexRank.pl - adds extra text on the ends of sentences
• (Added 17 October, 2006) $MEAD_HOME/bin/feautre-scripts/lexrank/getCos.pl - doesn't allow binary cosines
• (Added 25 Jan, 2009) MEAD can't properly display UTF-8 characters.
• (Added 7 April, 2009) I was trying to use the LexRank feature with MEAD.* I Used the commands as instructed in Mead Documentation. Here is the error I am facing : rakesh@rakesh-desktop:~/Desktop/mead/bin$ ./mead.pl -feature LexRank "./feature-scripts/lexrank/LexRank.pl" GA3 Using system rc-file: /home/rakesh/Desktop/mead/bin/../.meadrc Warning: Can't find user rc-file Cluster: /home/rakesh/Desktop/mead/bin/../data/GA3/GA3.cluster sh: ./feature-scripts/lexrank/LexRank.pl: not found FATAL: Feature Calculation returned 32512 Ran out of memory for input buffer at /usr/lib/perl5/XML/Parser/Expat.pm line 469, line 5. rakesh@rakesh-desktop:~/Desktop/mead/bin$ ls it is saying that LexRank.pl is not found, whereas it is located in that directory. also it shows Ran Out of memory but empty DBM problem is not shown.
