Hi all,

We are relieved (and yes, pleased too :-) to announce our first release of 
PhiloMine2 in preparation for our poster session at Digital Humanities 
2008 later this month in Oulu Finalnd.  This is a completely rewritten 
text mining and  machine learning package for our primary search and 
analysis package,  PhiloLogic.  Using a WWW interface (we recommend 
Firefox), the user can frame a wide variety of text mining experiments 
using numerous features and parameters.  Our release site:

                     http://code.google.com/p/philomine/

has links to our PhiloMine tour (Google presentation), along with 
downloads, installation instructions, and other useful files.  PhiloMine 
is a Free Software implementation designed to support research and 
development activities at the ARTFL Project and the Digital Library 
Development Center, developed with the generous support of the Provost's 
Program for Academic Technology Innovation (ATI) at the University of Chicago.  We 
hope that it may be of use to you.  Please don't hesitate to contact us at 
support*ta*philologic*tod*uchicago*tod*edu (you know what to do with this) 
and include "PhiloMine" in the subject and/or body of your e-mail.

Best regards,

Russ Horton and Mark Olsen
