Infinite Monkeys 4.00

Today is a momentous day in the history of Infinite Monkeys. The 4.00 release is now completed and debugged.

What's New?

Firstly, all database files in IM4 are JSON objects. This makes them easier to export to web projects.

Secondly, a Linux build is included in the main ZIP. So now you no longer have to run it under WINE.

Yeah but that conversion process was slow..

Not anymore! It originally took the master dictionary over 5 hours convert to HTML. Now it takes less than 5 minutes!

Swell. But what about ngrams?

Those are saved as JSON too! You can now export saved JSON biases and use them in web pages. An example can be found here.

So that's it?

No! I ripped out the old Part of Speech Tagger, and backended Stanford NLP Group's Part of speech tagger.

Well that sounds good. What else?

JSON Basic has a couple of cool new functions which allow you to operate the dictionary like a State Machine.

So instead of making redundant calls, you can set the dictionary to a specific state and make simpler calls to it like so:

var s = "";

build_dictionary("", "UW", "", 0, 0 );

s += JJ + " " + NNS + newline(1);
s += JJ + " " + NNS + newline(1);
s += "the " + NN + " of " + NNS;

print( s );
out( s );

Notice the 'build_dictionary' function? That's a new option!


I can reset that too?

Hell yes! Try this!

build_dictionary( reset )

What about backward compatibility?

No.

Ok. Well that seems alright.

Thanks!

So what's next?

I will be working toward getting the ngrams and the dictionaries to work in tandem to create dynamic interactive texts!

YAY!

Addendums and Announcements (3.15.16)

The ability to import mini-dictionaries into JavaScript has opened up a slew of new possibilities for not only this project, but IM3  as well. In order to move the project to the next level, I have to work on the master dictionary itself. I added the ability to tag words with semantic cross referencing, but never really implemented it functionally. So that's what I'm going to do. In the process, I will be moving the master dictionary to a JSON object exclusively, since it has the ability to indefinitely nest arrays which will allow some excellent functionality.

Thanks for your interest in this project and please stay tuned!
