The Lydia Project
The Lydia Project spider information page
About the Project:
Lydia is a research project in natural language processing
being conducted under the supervision of Professor Steven Skiena in the Department of Computer Science at SUNY Stony Brook.
The Lydia project seeks to extract well-defined classes of
facts and relations from curated text sources. We use
natural language processing techniques to identify references
to interesting people, places, and things and then study
the juxtapositions between them.
About the spiders:
The Lydia project is committed to obeying the terms
of service of every text source we analyze.
In particular, none of material we download will
be reproduced, redistributed, transmitted, displayed,
published or broadcast.
Our spidering programs are currently based on wget 1.9.1,
respect all robot.txt files, and do not make more than one
request per second to any website.
