Goal
Rapid Serial Visual Presentation is a technique for timing the display of images. A program serves content very quickly, which forces a person to break their own subvocalization habits. One use case is for speed reading. When words are shown on a screen, each display for short intervals. The newest word replaces the previous word where the latter was placed. In this way, a reader's eye does not move as much as it would if they were scrolling lines of text.
Synsets are a set of one or more synonyms. A wordnet combines synsets and orders them logically. If two words share some relation, it ought to be faster to learn about them as a group. So to speed-up the process of going from synset to synset, I apply RSVP to move through a comprehensive graph of synsets made by globalwordnet.
