Mark,
Released as Free Software on my open source page at
www.markwatson.com.
I have started using Ruby for some of my research. I wrote these
utilities for my own use, but I hope that other people find them both
useful and fun.
Thanks for writing these, I've been interested in using Ruby for some
(armchair) text analysis myself.
As I read through the tagger.rb script, I saw a lot of non-ruby idiom (not
a complaint, just an observation). Before Doing anything else with it, I
ran ZenTest (
http://rubyforge.org/projects/zentest) against your script and
started moving your tests over to Test::Unit. Here's a first shot for you:
require 'test/unit' unless defined? $ZENTEST and $ZENTEST
require 'tagger'
class TestTagger < Test::Unit::TestCase
def test_getTags
tt = Tagger.new
assert_equal(["NN"], tt.getTags("bank"))
assert_equal(["DT", "NN", "VBZ", "DT", "JJ", "NN", "JJ", "NN"],
tt.getTags("The dog bites the black cat last week."))
assert_equal(["DT", "NN", "VBD", "NNP", "DT", "NN", "JJ", "NN",
nil, "PRP", "MD", "NN", "DT", "NN", "RB", "RB"],
tt.getTags("The bank gave Sam a loan last week. He
can bank an airplane really well."))
assert_equal([],tt.getTags(""))
end
end
I'll be interested in seeing how these projects grow.
