During the last few years we developed a software called DialogueMaster™ that was originally designed to classify e-mails. Over the years the software became more an more sophisticated and lots of very specialized components have been developed.
Since some of our code is based on public research or freely available samples we thought it would be a good idea to give something back to the community. The first approach was to to publish some of the basic components so I wrote two articles on CodeProject (also to be found on this site).
Even though I really enjoyed writing the articles there were two major drawbacks: It took days to write one and the audience is very limited (who needs to detect an encoding anyway?).
After some pondering we came to the conclusion that it might be a good idea to publish some of the DialogueMaster™ functions using web services.
So from now on I will start to publish some of the basic functionalities of DialogueMaster™ on this blog. I will start with probably the most basic linguistic component we have: the language detection.
