WebService::GoogleHack::Rate 0.15

WebService::GoogleHack::Rate is a Perl module that implements a simple relatedness measure and semantic orientation related type functions.

SYNOPSIS

use WebService::GoogleHack::Rate;

#GIVE PATH TO INPUT FILE HERE

my $INPUTFILE="";

#GIVE PATH TO TRACE FILE HERE

my $TRACEFILE="";

#create an object of type Rate

my $rate = WebService::GoogleHack::Rate->new();

$results=$rate->measureSemanticRelatedness1("dog", "cat");

#The PMI measure is stored in the variable $results, and it can also
#be accessed as $rate->{PMI};

$results=$rate->predictSemanticOrientation($INPUTFILE, "excellent", "bad",$TRACEFILE);

#The resutls can be accessed through
print $results->{prediction}."n";
$results->{PMI Measure}."n";
$rate->{prediction} &."n";
$rate->{PMI Measure}."n";

WebService::GoogleHack::Rate - This package uses Google to do some basic natural language processing. For example, given two words, say "knife" and "cut", the module has the ability to retrieve a semantic relatedness measure, commonly known as the PMI (Pointwise mututal information) measure. The larger the measure the more related the words are. The package can also predict the semantic orientation of a given paragraph of english text. A positive measure means that the paragraph has a positive meaning, and negative measure means the opposite.
