• Infomap NLP Software: Not in development any more. The authors recommend to use SemanticVectors instead!!!
  • Uses Latent Semantic Analysis
  • The implementation is in C.
  • Documentation: http://infomap-nlp.sourceforge.net/doc/
  • Infomap is intended to build `language models' and to perform information retrieval tasks on the such models
  • Simple input format
  • You might need gdbm libraries. I had troubles installing this libraries in my laptop. In the present moment it is not working.
  • The documentation includes installation instructions, algorithm description and implementation guide.

• Before installing Infomap you would have to install gdbm libraries in your computer. This could be quite challenging. In the following I document the installation process I followed.

1. As a first step, you should download the last version of gdbm.
2. Untar the .gz file and go into the created directory.
3. Try:

   ./configure

   This command should try to configure the program to your system specifications. It is highly likely that this process fails. The most likely reason is that a system library called libtool is not version compatible. To check your version of this program (in ubuntu):

   apt-cache policy libtool

   . I presuppose you have libtool installed in your computer. You probably have a newer version of libtool as the one presuppose by the gdbm package. You would have to find the location of the following file: ltmain.sh. Once you have done that edit the
