I just started learn Wolfram Language on Wolfram Development Platform Free Plan.
I tried to count number of syllables in English words.
Fortunately WordList[] gives 40127 common english words.
It didn’t work.
Same task written in step by step is
WordData["syllabicate", "Hyphenation"]
words = WordList[]
syllables = Map[ WordData[#, "Hyphenation" ]&, words ]//Flatten
counts = Counts[syllables] //Sort//Reverse
WordCloud[counts]
Map function (3rd line) didn’t return any result. I don’t think 40000 words is too big for Wolfram Language.
Are there something wrong on my code? Or free plan isn’t enough to do this?
It also runs quite fast - about 10 seconds. I am running it in the Cloud right now. I don’t have the free account, but a standard one. I’ll let you know.
UPDATE: This is still running. I can see that on the free version it might not work. I think that in particular the WordData for the hyphenation is slow. You can still split the words into smaller groups (downloading all words is quite fast) and so split the computations into shorter bits.
UPDATE 2: It actually did not finish in the cloud even on paid-for accounts (standard Mathematica Online and Producer Development Cloud).
Thank you for trying. I don’t have Mathematica and running macOS 10.12.6.
A reason I called Counts[] is that I want not only draw WordCloud but also to find what syllables are major in many ways. By drawing BarChart or something else.
