[infomap-nlp-devel] Re: [infomap-nlp-users] Infomap. Can I choose and feed "content-bearing words" to "count_wordvec"? (fwd)

[Scott J. C. <ced...@cs...>]

Dominic and Shugi,

   I'm CC'ing this reply to infomap-nlp-devel, because in theory the
   sort of discussion touched off by Dominic's message below (about
   how to add this feature) should take place there.

   I'm not familiar with where and how count_wordvec chooses the
   content-bearing words, but I think the easiest thing would be to
   modularize the part where it does that (e.g. into a separate function),
   and then create another function that instead read content bearing
   words from a file.  Which function was called could be controlled
   by a command-line option.

   I've already got a bit of a backlog of reported but unfixed bugs;
   I'm hoping to dig my way out from under that by the end of the
   week.  Hopefully next week I would then have time to add this
   feature.

   If anyone else wants to take it on, please let me know.

                                                          Scott
