My first attempt at a PHP script using LAMP. Needs the Moby Thesaurus database for MySQL to work.
A proof of concept to paraphrase words automatically. My first attempt makes word salads apparently. Any feedback or help?
- dragonwriter 13y agoA thesaurus isn't sufficient for automated paraphrasing, because words have multiple meanings and you need to be able to know which sense of a word you are using to find equivalents. Automatic paraphrasing is essentially machine translation with the same source and destination language (but excluding the one approach that makes this trivial, where the output text is exactly the input text), and would seem to be an AI problem of equal difficulty to machine translation more generally [1]. [1] That is, quite high difficulty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-complete#Machine_translation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-complete#Machine_translation
- orionblastar 13y agoWell then I have a whole lot more to learn on the subject. I might have created an Ipsum Language replacement then? :) Useful only in displaying 'dummy' text that makes no sense but it is used to cover and pad text areas for testing purposes or as filler text?
