The stuff that you're quoting is not the stuff that the `demo.py` script generates, but "latent dirichlet allocation" (whereas this project appears to generate based on a different alternate algorithm, the sentence-based one)

Here was the first one I got, cleaned up a bit into paragraphs (the ones you get from this script are one-line-per-sentence, all-lowercase, and have odd spaces before punctuation marks). It was rather longwinded and rambling; shorter ones l

Correct. The magnetic signatures seen are the permanent magnetic moments embedded in the steel of the ships, which are picked up by passive magnetic-anomaly detectors. These have to be removed by randomization in a normal all-at-once dega

Some answers: 1. Solve for positive x: x (8 sqrt(1 - x) + sqrt(1 + x)) <= 11 sqrt(1 + x) - 16 sqrt(1 - x) The upper bound is clearly x=1 because the square roots cease to exist for x > 1 and and substituting in x = 1

The Haskell void type () is also a None, and it's pretty helpful. The easiest example is `putStrLn :: String -> IO ()`.

So this is an interesting bit of thought but I'm trying to figure out what it corresponds to in Haskell. Clearly what they're doing with `S` is effectively a `Reader s` monad in `Control.Monad.Reader`, and clearly what they'r
