Using Simulated Annealing to Order Goal Prerequisites

3rd August 2005 / by James Tauber

Back in November, I wrote about programmed vocabulary learning as a travelling salesman problem.

I'm pleased to say I've finally cleaned up my Python code and made an initial version available at:

UPDATE (2005-08-04): You probably don't want to use the above script. See Ordering Goals Rather Than Prerequisites for why, along with a much improved script.

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.

All code written for this endeavour is open source and text and data is made available under a Creative Commons license to the extent allowed by the sources used.
