Hi Chase Marangu. I liked your post, it's nice to read for a newcomer, with all those word clouds. I have a question: I wanted to know if studying computational linguistics or Natural Language Processing in a formal way, like as a Masters or something, would require previous programming experience. Would a person with just basic experience in programming languages find it difficult?

And also, does this field have a good future in terms of a career? Are there decently paying jobs out there in this compling/NLP field?

Thanks!

What does it mean to make a word cloud out of a word square..

wordsquare[s_String] := 
 Module[{n = StringLength[s], c = {{Characters[s]}}, w, m = 1}, 
  w = Characters /@ 
    Select[WordList[], StringMatchQ[#, Repeated[_, {n}]] &];
  NestWhile[computewords[w, n, m++, #] &, c, m < n &]]

computewords[w_, n_Integer, m_Integer, c_List] := 
 Flatten[
  DeleteCases[
   Map[Cases[w, 
      p : Append[#[[All, m + 1]], Repeated[_, {n - m}]] :> 
       Append[#, p]] &, c], {}], 1]

Table[WordCloud[wordsquare["twain"][[i]][[j]]], {i, 1, 
  Length[wordsquare["twain"]]}, {j, 1, 3}]

Do you know to make a word cube? I wanted to add a word cube function to my WordCloud paclet but I couldn't figure it out.

Peter! Ever since I was a little kid I wanted to know how to make a Word Cube, and ever since WordCloud came out I've been all on it. I don't know. What is a Word Cube, non-quantitatively?

I know Donald Knuth has created a program to find a word cube but I don't know how to do it in Mathematica. A word cube is like a symmetric tensor of rank 3.

That was a superb exploration we just did and yeah there are so many word cubes, and Donald Knuth made this program to find a word cube. So take a look at WordGraph... how do you get access to the WordCloud paclet? It sort of looks like the perfect repository for word cubes.... what are they? What is the symmetric rank 3 tensor like, Peter?

ListLinePlot[ LowpassFilter[ WordFrequencyData /@ {"mouse", "douse", "house", "louse", "moose", "mousy", "rouse", "souse", "dowse", "horse", "loose", "lousy", "goose", "noose", "mossy", "reuse", "rouge", "route"}, 0.5, 15], Mesh -> { {-2, 0, 2}, {0, 1}}, MeshStyle -> Orange]

Thank you so much for this one in particular, I've been waiting so long for this paclet to come out and now it's finally here!

I found a post that has a program to create a random word cube or square but unfortunately, it doesn't let you specify a word to make a word cube out of.

PalindromeQ also works.

Good point—I think I will edit that in.

Thanks so much!

The only thing that PalindromeQ can't do is find integer palindromes in different bases, for example base 3. Then you have to use IntegerReverse and IntegerDigits to convert to the different base.

I have a feature request I've submitted though to add functionality for integers in different bases.
