Menachem Katz
How can we display only major variations?
 If we present all of the variations, the significant data will be hard to
notice within the noise.
 If we present only what we think is major, we could miss variations
that the user think is indeed major.
 The difference between the types of users make the mission even
harder.
13
Menachem Katz
How detailed should it be? Two different approaches
Sifre Bemidbar, KahanaMishna Ketubbot, Brody
14
Menachem Katz
The mission: Teaching the computer to single out the
major variations
Bavli Taanit,
30a
15
Menachem Katz
Taking the opposite direction: singling out the minor
variations instead
 The computer cannot know which of the variations is major.
 We can teach it what variation is probably minor.

Textual
equivalencies
17
Menachem Katz
Categories of Equivalency  Group A
 Abbreviations and their full versions ['廨]
 Acronyms and their full versions [廣"廚廚 廣 廝]
 Variations in the way numbers are written ['廩廩]
 Vocalizing vowels and their omission [廡廡]
 The way of writing G-d's name [']
 Partial textual fault (tear or blurring) [廨...廬廨廩廬]
 Words joined together [廣 廩廩廣]
 Graphic variants [廣廣]
 Phonetic variants [廣廨廨]
18
Menachem Katz
Categories of Equivalency  Group B
 Linguistic variants [廣廣]
 Letters that signify prepositions and their omission [廩廩]
 Semantic variants [廨]
 Variations in personal names [廡廩 廨廩廨'廡廩  廩廣]
 Variations in place names [ 廖廨-廖廨 ]
 Shortening or lengthening of Verses (Psukim)
19
Menachem Katz
Now we can emphasize the major changes
20
Menachem Katz
And also emphasize what other people would think
is minor, but we think is the real deal
21
Menachem Katz
Whats next?
 Searching not only for words, but also for variations?
 Searching for frequent non-equivalent variations?
