Hi --
I believe the the following is an acceptable bibtex entry:
@article{brownetal93,
author = {{Peter F.} Brown and {Stephen A.} {Della Pietra} and
{Vincent J.} {Della Pietra} and {Robert L.} Mercer},
title = {The Mathematics of Statistical Machine Translation:
Parameter Estimation},
journal = {Computational Linguistics},
year = 1993,
volume = 19,
number = 2,
pages = {263-311}
}
It's a bit weird, but gets rendered fine by BibTeX for me.
When I run it through BibTeX::Parser (0.63), it finds only one author:
author->first = "{Peter F.}Brown"
author->von = "and"
author->last = "{Stephen A.}{Della Pietra}and {Vincent J.}{Della
Pietra}and {Robert L.}Mercer "
author->jr = ""
This seems to be a general bug with braces inside fields. I get a
similar error on:
@Article{scholkopf98kpca,
author = {Bernhard {Sch\"olkopf} and Alex Smola and K.R. Muller},
title = {Nonlinear component analysis as a kernel eigenvalue
problem},
journal = {Neural Computation},
year = {1998},
volume = {10},
pages = {1299--1319}
}
Any help would be much appreciated!!! Otherwise, great package :).
