LISP
I started learning Elixir a week ago. Although this has been at the top of my To-do list for quite a while, I couldn’t take it up due to other commitments. I love Elixir. It is a great functional programming language. Having programmed in Lisp for a long time, I immediately noticed the similarity between Lisp […]
After Wood’s paper [1], Augmented Transition Networks (ATN) became popular in the 1970s, for parsing text. An ATN is a generalized transition network with two major enhancements: Support for recursive transitions, including jumping to other ATNs Performing arbitrary actions when edges are traversed Remembering state through the use of registers See the “Further Reading” section at […]
This is the third part in the series on information extraction from unstructured text. In the first part, we saw how MeaningCloud allows us to specify complex rules to identify custom categories through their Deep Categorization API. The second part covered spaCy’s pattern matcher. Today, I would like to discuss how we can use TextRazor’s “Prolog Engine” to perform […]
One of the more recent additions to the core Wolfram Language is the “Curry” function. It was introduced in Mathematica ver 11.3 and is still (as of ver 12.0) considered Experimental. In this post, I would like to go over this function briefly. Non-curried functions in Mathematica have to be invoked with the arguments (both […]
I am a great fan of Opusmodus software. I have written many articles about it in the past. Owing to my several other commitments, I am not able to spend much time on it these days, but I keep checking the features in new releases regularly. The software has evolved substantially since its first release a […]
Last week, I showed how we can use IBM Natural Language Understanding API to identify emotions from given text. Today, I would like to run through the same examples, but using ParallelDots API service. There are wrappers in Java, Python, Ruby, C#, and PHP for accessing the REST service. However, I chose to write my own […]
In an earlier article, I wrote about using iLangGen to generate natural language text. iLangGen is a powerful text generation library that I have been working on over the years. Today, I would like to show how we can use that library to generate “poetry“. Be warned, however, that the generated poem is devoid of […]
Some time ago, I had written a series of articles on my iLexicon project. It is a Lisp package that supports many interesting queries on English words. When I was discussing this project with a client recently, she asked me if it was possible to query the system in natural language instead of through Lisp. […]
There is wide-spread interest in Natural Language Processing (NLP) today, and there are several API services available to cater to this demand. See this article for a fairly detailed list of services. All of them support multiple languages, including English. Today, I am going to share my experience in working with MeaningCloud’s Text Analytics API, […]
In my last post, I got started with Flora-2 and showed how we can model homeopathic remedies from a therapeutics perspective. Although such a limited view of remedies can be helpful in treating acute ailments, for treating chronic diseases, a comprehensive understanding of the various remedies from the perspective of keynotes, kingdom classification and miasms […]
