Dear StringNet mailing list members,
First, we want to apologize that it has taken us this long to send out
our first StringNet letter. Actually, we’ve been waiting for this
moment, that is, for the release of the next version of StringNet.
We’re calling it StringNet 3.0, and we are releasing it today. Access
it through SN Navigator at http://nav.stringnet.org.
New in StringNet 3.0:
Size:
There are 2 billion hybrid n-grams in SN 3.0, compared to 300 million
in the previous SN. That is, SN 3.0 captures 1.7 billion patterns that
slipped through the next of the previous SN. Like the previous SNs,
the source corpus from which SN hybrid n-grams have been derived is
British National Corpus.
Navigation:
From any hybrid n-gram, we now give links to longer versions of it
(Expand link), shorter versions of it (Contract link), in addition to
the previous links to more general versions (Parents) and more
specific versions (Children).
Competitors:
Now click on any word or slot in a pattern (in a hybrid n-gram) and a
pop-up shows a list of all attested words in that slot (competitors).
So, clicking on ‘choice’ in the pattern “have no choice but [to verb]”
show a popup with “choice”’s competition (“alternative” and “option”,
etc.).
Response time:
The response time for queries is greatly reduced in SN 3.0.
Browser recommendation:
SN 3.0 runs best on Chrome and Firefox. While functions work on IE,
the SN representations are less than optimal for several functions
with the Microsoft browser. We’ll keep working on it.
We look forward to keeping you updated on coming changes in StringNet.
Meanwhile, feel free to invite colleagues to use StringNet and to
subscribe to our mailing list.
Best regards,
David Wible and Nai-Lung Tsao
