nlp - Natural Language Generation in PHP -

-

i woke last night thought in head: can php used generate random words sound natural? (like lorem ipsum verses).

  1. words being single letter: 'a,e,i,o,u'
  2. words being double letter: combination of vowel , consonant.
  3. maximum word length think 6 letters.

the purpose fill space on website templates instead of 'lorem ipsum', or send test emails php scripts make sure mail() works.

but thoughts on how work php generate random length words, 1-6 letters each, few "don't this" rules "no 2 single-letter words next each other" or "no three-vowels in row" or "no three-consonants in row" , automatically add punctuation , capitalization after between 4 , 8 words sentence.

would @ possible, , if so, there pre-existing classes or functions implement?

you can take context-free grammar approach: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/context-free_grammar

<word> := <vowel> | <consonant><remaining word following consonant> | <vowel><remaining word following vowel> <vowel> := a|e|i|o|u <consonant> := b|c|d|f|g|... <word following vowel> := <consonant><remaining word following consonant> ...and on

implement grammar in procedural language (c , php included), start generating words based on grammar.

i don't know of generic php parsing frameworks can @ best practices writing them: best practices writing programming language parser

c# - Copy ObservableCollection to another ObservableCollection -

how copy observablecollection item observablecollection without reference of first collection? here observablecollection item value changes affecting both collections. code private observablecollection<ratemodel> _allmetalrate = new observablecollection<ratemodel>(); private observablecollection<ratemodel> _metalrateondate = new observablecollection<ratemodel>(); public observablecollection<ratemodel> allmetalrate { { return this._allmetalrate; } set { this._allmetalrate = value; notifypropertychanged("metalrate"); } } public observablecollection<ratemodel> metalrateondate { { return this._metalrateondate; } set { this._metalrateondate = value; notifypropertychanged("metalrateondate"); } } foreach (var item in metalrateondate) allmetalrate.add(item); what causing , how can solve it? you need clone object referenced item before it's a...

All overlapping substrings matching a java regex -

-
is there api method returns (possibly overlapping) substrings match regular expression? for example, have text string: string t = 04/31 412-555-1235; , , have pattern: pattern p = new pattern("\\d\\d+"); matches strings of 2 or more characters. the matches are: 04, 31, 412, 555, 1235. how overlapping matches? i want code return: 04, 31, 41, 412, 12, 55, 555, 55, 12, 123, 1235, 23, 235, 35. theoretically should possible -- there obvious o(n^2) algorithm enumerates , checks substrings against pattern. edit rather enumerating substrings, safer use region(int start, int end) method in matcher . checking pattern against separate, extracted substring might change result of match (e.g. if there non-capturing group or word boundary check @ start/end of pattern). edit 2 actually, it's unclear whether region() expect zero-width matches. specification vague, , experiments yield disappointing results. for example: string line = "xx90xx"; strin...
