NAME¶
dimbl - Distributed Timbl
SYNOPSYS¶
dimbl [timbl options] [-S <num of threads>]
DESCRIPTION¶
dimbl extends
timbl with the possibility to run the classification task
on multiple threads. This is done by splitting up the Instancebase in parts
that are handled in parallel. Every test instance is tested against each
partial Instancebase. The results are merged and then the k Nearest Neighbours
are calculated.
NOTES¶
dimbl only works for the IB1 variants of timbl.
Not all timbl options are fully supported.
Documentation is lacking.
OPTIONS¶
-S <threads>
run the server on 'threads' parallel
threads.
all
timbl options are documenented in
timbl(1)
dimbl handles most of them in the same way as
timbl except for
-i filename
and
-I filename
-I will create 'threads' Instancebase files and store their names in
'filename' together with the name of the weighting file.
-i will use such a file to read back in 'threads' Instancebases for a
classifying task. The
-S option is ignored in that case.
dimbl
will use the number of files found in 'filename'.
