Algovista, the algorithm search engine. Enter data samples that exemplify the results you want your algorithm to return and get a listing of the algorithms that match. Sort of like Ted Kaehler’s MethodFinder in Squeak, programming by example. The visual interface whereby you submit your data samples is very interesting, covering text, numbers, directed and undirected graphs of nodes, matrices, paired numbers. Definitely worth investigating the limits of the engine and the means by which it transforms visual examples into their query expression. [by way of Lambda the Ultimate]
