• Scrapbox Page Improvement Case Study

  • In the page titled Corpus Refinement, I wrote It is impossible to prepare a clean [corpus] in advance A mechanism is needed to put in a corpus at random and refine it to [posterior] Need a mechanism to refine Incomplete corpus instead of learning from a given corpus. We need a mechanism to refine the incomplete corpus instead of being given a corpus and learning it.

  • I searched for “miscellaneous” thinking, “Where’s the story about improving that messy corpus?”

  • I also searched for “miscellaneous corpus.”

  • I finally found it by searching for “corpus”.

  • The word “miscellaneous” was not on this page.

  • So I added a [Miscellaneous corpus] and a `miscellany (classification of Japanese poetry) corpus.

  • It was a long way around, but beneficial because in the process I saw that the more important the project, the more messy it starts,' and it reinforced my feeling that the concept of miscellaneous’ is useful.

  • The miscellaneous is not actually a link on this page either.

  • I made it a link so the two pages are now connected.

  • I’ll linking (bracketing) various other things as I remember them.

    • The more repeatedly a page is read, the more linked it becomes and the better it becomes a hub of information.
