Pun-Intended

An application designed to help users find puns. Still in development.

Notes on how to get the program to work:

0. Make sure that nltk is installed in Python, and that the cmudict corpus is installed. (To check/download cmudict, in the interperter type nltk.download() or from the command line: python -m nltk.downloader cmudict)

Make sure that gensim is installed and running. On Windows: This requires some workarounds. You will need numpy, mkl and scipy installed, which can be found at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/. You may also need to install a c++ compiler. Installing gensim in Anaconda may be a good option (https://www.continuum.io/downloads)

1. Download the GloVe 6B Vectors based on the Wikipedia2014 and Gigaword5 corpus. Official website: https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/glove/ Direct download: http://nlp.stanford.edu/data/glove.6B.zip Unzip and add the file glove.6B.100d.txt to the data folder.

2. In the command line, run: python main.py. The first time you run the program, you will be prompted to create a binary file with the vectors, forquicker future access. After that, you can enter the desired word and get its closest homophones.

--lenakmeth

When starting the program you may choose between the different vector models which are in text format out of the box.

As the loading of binary files is a lot faster, the program will prefer them over .txt files in case of there being a file with the same name, but .bin ending.

You will be offered to create a binary file corresponding to the .txt file you put in, unless there already is one.
