final

For my final, I’m going to continue working on the love/hate (opposite of indifference) and get the regex working a lot better. Here are some improvements that need to be made:
- remove all odd characters
- recognize prepositions and grab following words
Here’s the comp:

Finale

Zach and I are going to work together on the final project. Our goal is to develop a new sense of space and sound/music from text.
We’ve got a couple possible situations:

Use the nucleotide subunits of DNA (Adenosine, Cytosine, Guanosine, and Thymidine) to map frequencies and make chords out of them.
Make frequencies from text by assigning […]

word-of-place

Shlomit and I are working together on our final.
Our project will trace where new words and expressions are coined and used and how they spread.
We asked people to send us a message with a word they recently learned, and their location when they learned the word.

Learning New Words from Wikipedia

I read about Zeitgeist, a program that looks through Wikipedia for new words (neologisms) that are not included in the WordNet database. Once a new word is found, the program examines links going to & from that work. It specifically looks at cross-references rather than content of the article itself and only takes into account […]

Colors + Wordnet via Korean via Japanese Concept

I found this insane research paper, “Matching Colors with KANSEI Vocabulary Using Similarity Measure Based on WordNet” while trying to find a use of WordNet that was about something other than just words. Their idea ( they propose “a method to match color with vocabulary”) is a good one but it ends up seeming so […]

Tip of the Tongue

Wordnet would be very useful for the Haiku News project. We had to “hand” categorize the parts of speech for all the words used in our project’s database, so a low level use of wordnet would be to utilize its ability to recognize parts of speech and have the program categorize the words for us. […]

Can WordNet Take My S.A.T.s?

According to the article I read by Tony Veale, as of now, the answer is unfortunately no.
The article by Veale looks at WordNet as a possible tool to analyze the infamous analogies found on the dreaded S.A.T.s (Scholastic Aptitude Tests). Veale identifies the usefulness of such analysis as being a resource that could possibly tutor […]
