ruby-wordnet: traverse

Paul Nulty

Hello,

is anybody familiar with the Ruby-Wordnet module? If so, do you have
any idea about this error?


/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/wordnet/synset.rb:104:in
`initialize': undefined method `index' for nil:NilClass
(NoMethodError)

caused by this code:

k = lex.lookupSynsets("hospital", WordNet::Noun )
puts k[0].traverse(:hypernyms)

problem is that it randomly works for lots of words but not for
others. it doesn't work for "hospital" or "vessel" but does for almost
all other words in my set.

I am familiar with it, and this is a bug in the 0.02 release:

http://deveiate.org/projects/Ruby-WordNe...

It has been fixed in the SVN version and the 20061008 snapshot that's
posted to:

http://deveiate.org/projects/Rub...

I have some stuff left to commit before creating a new release, but
I'll try to get that done by Friday.

You expect Obama to fix something in three years that took 10-50 years
to undo? Get real. That's like asking him to reverse the national
debt of $16 trillion back to Bush's $11 trillion when he left office
just as if nothing ever happened. Even Reagan couldn't put Humpty
Dumpty fully back together again in his 8 years. It's one thing for
something to be a culmination of 10 years worth of abuse (let's not
get delusional about any 50 years), it's something entirely else when
the problem clearly exists and Bush still decides to add fuel to the
fire. Besides, his American Dream nightmare, here is something else
he threw into the fire to fabricate the "successful" years of his
economy, 2003-07:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1232153277874...

So, essentially what he did was not only allow deregulation to rule
the day, if only because he didn't understand the negatives of what
that would entail, but he resuscitated an economy virtually on debt
which, anyone conscious enough in life would realize, could only
inevitably lead to a financial cataclysm with the way subprimes were
going.

That's asking for a lot from a president who gets absolutely no
cooperation from Republicans who refuse to pass jobs bills. That
300,000 per month figure could easily be met with major infrastructure
projects that need to be done across the country, not only through
direct employment for those projects but also through spin-off and
peripheral employment related to all those projects. Tell your
Republican Congressman to get off his obstructionist ass and pass the
infrastructure jobs bill.
