Very nice Mark. Perhaps you could also do a correlation matrix of the different measures for a collection of sentences. That would give us some idea of how unique each measure is.

Thanks, Bernard. Using the same test sentences, the correlation looks like this. Notice that the low end of the scale is already a high correlation.

Hello! Great post!

I did a similar project for Wolfram Summer Camp this year: https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/2965584

Hi, Navvye. I just read through your article. You sure cover a lot of ground! It got me thinking about language analysis through graphs in ways that I hadn't thought of before. Thanks. : )

Dear Mark,

thank you very much for this lovely post. It is really useful. I like getting metrics when marking assessments with essay components.

I wonder whether this is substantially different in different languages. So for example if I run your code on an English sentence and then a German or Spanish translation of that sentence.

I just tried this, but unfortunately, TextStructure does not work in other languages, it appears.

Thank you for the great post,

Marco

Yes, Marco, you answered your own question. This function relies on TextStructure, which only works for English. I suspect that future versions of WL will include foreign languages as well.

By the way, I used your code to access Dall•e 3 right in the WL. Thanks. : )
