[Corpora-List] For students: "CL in Action"

[Vlado Keselj]

Hi,

I have tried to send this one to the list:

Jonathan Doyle and Vlado Keselj, Automatic Categorization of Author 
Gender via N-Gram Analysis. In The 6th Symposium on Natural Language 
Processing, SNLP'2005, Chiang Rai, Thailand, December 2005.

but the message is larger, than 40K so it is waiting for moderator's 
approval.

Regards,
Vlado
