Re: Normalizing Greek for indexing

Hi Nathan, I wasn't suggesting a language switch... Just that the array/hash mappings and other code used to normalize the Greek words are easy to borrow and adapt. Nigel. Understood. I can read PHP well enough that I can probably adapt what you've already accomplished. If I use the find magnifying...

Re: Normalizing Greek for indexing

If PHP is any use to you, you'll find some useful utils here (with a test suite): https://github.com/eukras/koinos/blob/master/src/Utility/Greek.php https://github.com/eukras/koinos/blob/master/tests/Utility/GreekTest.php Esp. check the functions lowercase, gravesToAcutes, stripAccents, stripBreath...

Normalizing Greek for indexing

Nearly two years ago I posted some questions about the normalization of Greek words. In recent weeks I have renewed my interest in this topic, as I have been examing the ElasticSearch platform. In addition to query and document retrieval, it can include metadata tagging for documents, so that parsin...

Re: Ciaconna: Resources for Greek OCR with Ocropus

Cool, thanks for filling me in. We have some compute clusters at work, so I was curious what you were working with.

Can you share a bit about the computing environment you use?

Re: Like, καθώς κτλ.

Another interesting particle I have noticed is the use of "just" in extemporaneous prayer, e.g. "Heavenly father, we just pray that you would just..." In a former church of mine, this was very common, and was hard to ignore once I noticed it.

Re: Wallace, Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics

In my undergraduate program we studied Wallace in the 3rd year advanced courses. In the fourth year we had a reading course outside of the New Testament (apostolic fathers, LXX, Josephus, and some of the classics). When I made it to fourth year, there was only one other student, and we met in our pr...

Re: I want to convert unicode to monotonic and ascii

The non-laborious way would of course to have a computer do that for you. :-) The task of converting a polytonic Unicode word into all the permutations down to monotonic Unicode can be done by a script. Here is an example of removing all diacritics using Python. It would require a bit more work to f...

Re: Rules for normalization of Greek words?

Perseus does have a nice list of Greek stop words in the Hopper source code, but I was not able to find anything on normalization at first glance. I'll take a closer look, and also at TLG. By normalization, I basically mean presenting the form out-of-context, but still declined/conjugated. This is t...
