DimeExtraction

Introduction

These tools were created to experiment with entity extraction from dime novels.

Sample Files

The raw-texts directory contains some dime novel texts extracted from Project Gutenberg. You can add your own raw text files there as needed.

Setting Up

Run "composer install" to load dependencies.

Paste your AlchemyApi API key into api_key.txt and your TextRazor API key into textrazor.key.

Tools

These tools allow retrieval of data from various APIs:

  • HarvestAlchemyApi.php [filename] [chunksize] - Dump information about [filename] into the alchemyapi-out directory. [chunksize] is an optional chunk size (maximum number of bytes) that may be used to split the text into segments, retrieving separate results for each chunk; if omitted, the entire file is sent as a single chunk.
  • HarvestSpotlight.php [filename] - Dump information about [filename] into the spotlight-out directory.
  • HarvestTextRazor.php [filename] - Dump information about [filename] into the textrazor-out directory.

These tools allow processing of the retrieved data:

  • AlchemyApiEntitiesToCsv.php [filenames] - Where [filenames] is a list of alchemyapi-out/entities*.txt files, convert them to a single CSV.
  • AlchemyApiEntitySummarizer.php [filename] - Where [filename] is an output file from AlchemyApiEntitiesToCsv.php, create a summary-*.csv file summarizing its contents.
  • CombineEntities.php [AlchemyAPI input] [Spotlight input] [TextRazor input] [output] - Where [AlchemyAPI input] is the output from AlchemyApiEntitiesToCsv.php, [Spotlight input] is the output from SpotlightEntitySummarizer.php and [TextRazor input] is the output from TextRazorEntitySummarizer.php, merge the two files together by matching identifiers and keywords, then write the result to [output].
  • DumpSerializedFile.php [filename] - Display the raw contents of [filename], where [filename] contains serialized PHP (raw AlchemyAPI and TextRazor output uses this format).
  • SpotlightEntitiesToCsv.php [filenames] - Where [filenames] is a list of spotlight-out/*.json files, convert them to a single CSV.
  • SpotlightEntitySummarizer.php [filename] - Where [filename] is an output file from SpotlightEntitiesToCsv.php, create a summary-*.csv file summarizing its contents.
  • TextRazorEntitiesToCsv.php [filenames] - Where [filenames] is a list of textrazor-out/entities*.txt files, convert them to a single CSV.
  • TextRazorEntitySummarizer.php [filename] - Where [filename] is an output file from TextRazorEntitiesToCsv.php, create a summary-*.csv file summarizing its contents.
  • TextRazorTopicsToCsv.php [filename] - Where [filename] is a textrazor-out/topics*.txt file, convert it to CSV.

Script

You can run the generate_everything.sh script to automatically harvest and process all possible data based on the raw-texts directory.
