prisonerjohn YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 33	Re: Wordnet (RiTa) library Reply #5 - Jan 22^nd, 2008, 6:41pm I've been playing around with the library and I'm not sure I fully get what the "posStr" string is. Does it just represent the type of word, i.e. verb, noun, adjective, or adverb, or does it also have another function? Also, I figured that "v" is verb, and "n" is noun, but how do you query for an adjective or adverb? Thanks!

dch YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 25	Re: Wordnet (RiTa) library Reply #6 - Jan 24^th, 2008, 5:46am I've added some better docs on the parts-of-speech, but your options are: noun="n", verb="v", adj="a", adverb="r" you can also use the constants provided: RiWordnet.NOUN RiWordnet.VERB RiWordnet.ADJ RiWordnet.ADV cheers, -dch

TheWolfGirl YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 8	Re: Wordnet (RiTa) library Reply #7 - Jan 25^th, 2008, 12:20am I'm excited to see your library as I am presently working out force-directed graphing of the WordNet along with a ZUI (zoomable user interface). Most of the bits and pieces seem to be laying around. Is anyone else working on this in Processing? Suggestions?

prisonerjohn YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 33	Re: Wordnet (RiTa) library Reply #8 - Feb 5^th, 2008, 10:48pm Does the library also provide a way to "tag" words in a sentence as NOUNs, VERBs, ADJs, or ADVs? Or does this have to be done independently?

i can't seem to figure out where to put the rita statistical models. any clues? in the RIParser class doc there is the following note -

"Note: to use this object, first download the rita statistical models (rita.me.models.zip) and unpack them into the 'rita' directory in your processing sketchbook. You can also specify an alternative directory (an absolute path) for the models via RiTa.setModelDir();"

seems like there have been some recent modifications to Rita but the documentation isn't totally up to date.

any help would be appreciated.

This is really related to RiTa (http://rednoise.org/rita) rather than RiTa.Wordnet, but in any case, both of the documented methods work OK for me from within Processing (see below):

String s = "The black cat crossed my path.";
RiParser parser = new RiParser(this);
String result = parser.parse(s);
System.out.println(result);

output: (top (s (np (dt The) (jj black) (nn cat))
(vp (vbd crossed) (np (prp$ my) (nn path)))))

As per the docs, you need to place the 'models' folder inside $SKETCH_PAD/libraries/rita/, or place it wherever you like and start with the line:

RiTa.setModelDir("/path/to/models/");

cheers,
-dch
