Can you guess from which data this plots are generated ? This is plot of WordNet relations generated with NLTK and Python-networkx library. I got this idea from the 4th cahpter of the book Natural Language Processing with Python.
The Image _i generated from the synset relation of the word 'bird' and Image - II from 'language' and Image III from 'Python'. For more information read the book Natural Language Processing with Python.

Today I found an interesting NLP library in pypi.python.org namely topia.termextract.
this package can be used for English POS tagging as well as extracting key terms from an English text. I am not giving an example here. Because the documentation is extensive and easly understandable.
Checkit out from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/topia.termextract/
Programmers will be dreaming about good sleep. But have you heard about sleep programming language. Dont yarn now. I am talkng about programming language.
Sleep is multiparadigm scripting language for the java platform. If you are fmilier with perl or C, you can learn sleep very easly. It is easy to install. You can download Sleep fron http://sleep.dashnine.org/ site. The .jar file is only 250 k.b only. You can also download a manual from the web site. It is a light weight and simple one. Enjoy it.
I was reading Shibu Varkalas blog. I came across posting related to anew Open Source Development Environment called "Gambas". It can replace Visual Basic of M$. But it is not a clone of M$ VB. The gambas site narrates its features as followes
" With Gambas, you can quickly design your program GUI with QT or GTK+, access MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, ODBC and SQLite databases, pilot KDE applications with DCOP, translate your program into any language, create network applications easily, make 3D OpenGL applications, make CGI web applications, and so on...
"
I downloaded a beautifull open book on Gambas programming. After reading the boob my friend who is familier with Visual Studio told that it is easy to migrate from VB to Gambas. Syllabus designers who introduces VB please incorporate this tool in your syllabus.
I am moving from my current organization in the next week so I am busy with finishing ded lines. Will try the tool and post more details soon.
Also my friend agreed that he will try it soon. If he suceed in it I will post the result. My friend is novice in GNU/Linux :-).
