The information above has been collected from various published results, documentation, and personal experience. (Accuracies are averages of typical literature comparisons.) This list is updated as information comes to my attention and as time allows, but as rapidly as methods evolve (and companies merge), some info is no doubt out of date and/or incomplete. Consequently, these compilations are meant more as an aid to jog one's memory on keywords and capabilities, rather than as a complete and authoritative reference.
