Beginner question: Question db using python to find word similarities

[Ashish Agrawal]

Hi all,

I ma new to conceptnet. I used the web API to find similarity between two words: 'Finance' and 'money'.

http://conceptnet5.media.mit.edu/data/5.2/assoc/c/en/finance?filter=/c/en/money&limit=1

I was hoping to do that via python script and by querying the database not the web API. I have been getting an error if I query the web API 'TOO MANY REQUEST".

I was hoping if someone could help me out with a code snippet showing how to use and query conceptnet 5 db to find similarities.

Thanks

Retry later or build yourself the database locally.
 

Thanks

You hit the rate limit on the web API, understandably.

You can run your own local version of the API in various ways, described at https://github.com/commonsense/conceptnet5/wiki/Running-your-own-copy.

A problem I've become aware of: the "high-bandwidth" method has been failing because the download comes from the same server as the API, and when it's overloaded it just cuts off the download and leaves you with an incomplete file. The most reliable method at this time is the Docker method.

The way I was able to do it is such
Note: I did not build conceptnet5.4. I just did a sudo python setup.py install on the contents of https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ConceptNet/5.4.2/conceptnet-5.4.2.tar.gz. I also downloaded all the files from http://conceptnet5.media.mit.edu/downloads/current/. Then I set the CONCEPTNET_DATA directory to the path where I unzipped all the tar.bz2 files.

from conceptnet5 import assoc_query
finder,wrapper = assoc_query.get_assoc_data('assoc-space-5.4')

wrapper.associations([('/c/en/finance',1.0)],filter='/c/en/money/.')

Hi Debanjan,

When I run this python code it generates error -

"The assoc_space package is not installed". 

Please help to get around this problem.

Thanx
