Marko is a simple toolset to create markov chain databases of a corpus (or two) of text and then allow you to compare unknown texts to these databases. For any two marko databases you can calculate the probability that the unknown body is related to one over the other. Possible applications include intelligent mail filtering, plagarism detection and historical research. A little more detail can be found in the doc/README file. Questions, feedback, comments may be sent to the author Caskey Dickson at . Marko, and all it's components are Copyright 2002, TechnoCage, Inc. This software is released under the GNU Public License.
