The PDF file at http://www.fungible.com/respect/talk-mar-2009.pdf is
<1MB. A real definition would include training data that would
probably be a few GB's. Start reading at
http://www.fungible.com/respect/index.html.

The described algorithm has known bugs, but it seems unlikely that
fixing the bugs would make it an order of magnitude bigger. I've been
tracking the bugs people have pointed out in a text file. It really
needs a bug tracker of some sort. Some people might think I'm
concealing the bugs but I've just not got around to publishing the
list yet. My apologies to those people who have provided that input in
past conversations on SL4.
