This is cool but is there a function for finding hidden topics? i.e. given red, yellow, blue -> colors

- pkrumins 17y agoIt doesn't have, and I can't think of an easy way to group them this way. Perhaps I could cook something up, like given "red, yellow, blue", do a Google Search (with my library) for each "red", "yellow", "blue" and find the surrounding words. Then count the frequencies of surrounding words, do another search at Google Sets for "red, yellow, blue", remove all those items from frequency list, and then output the most frequent word. It might be "color" or "colors". Perhaps also de-pluralize the words so that "colors == color". Just a quick idea. mmm... might actually try it out, if it works, will write an article about it.
- jamesk2 17y agoThat may work but there's going to be so much noise in the population how do you filter it to get "colors?" There's a google vid on this subject: I never did get through it but it might make more sense to you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqWMGT9haY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgqWMGT9haY
