No. >are there any remaining artifacts from that talk? mp3... slides... notes... They should be on the BibleTech website. > 2. How does the script work? Does it use advanced computational linguistics of some type or heuristics of some kind? Basically brute force. It has four required files attached to it. * Hebrew Strong Numbers, in Hebrew Word Order, for the entire Bible. (NT & MT); * Greek Strong Numbers, in Greek Word Order, for the entire Bible. (LXX & NT); * English word frequency/Strong Number/scripture citation combinations; * English text; The fifth file is the Bible translation in the target language. The script reads the target language. * Create a concordance of the Bible in the target language; * Create a word frequency chart in the target language; * Start with the first word of the first verse: # Locate that word in other verses where the same Strong Number appears; # If matches are found, then the Strong Number is attached to the word; # If a mismatch is found, that gets notated with (?); # If no matches are found, then the word is skipped; # At the end of the verse, left over Strong Numbers are put in parenthesis at the end of the verse; # At the end of the session, it rereads the verses, looking for unmarked words, and Strong Numbers at the end of the verse; # It then attempts to rematch words, dropping syllables to locate the match; Messy, and only useful for a first cut rough draft. I went through the most probable set of DVDs and CDs that I would have archived it in, and didn't find the script. :( jonathon -- All emails sent to this with email address with a precedence other than bulk, or list, are forwarded to Dave Null, unread. _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
