"A very useful application of text models (you can read more on them on the [`text notebook`](https://github.com/aimacode/aima-python/blob/master/text.ipynb)) is categorizing text into a language. In fact, with enough data we can categorize correctly mostly any text. That is because different languages have certain characteristics that set them apart. For example, in German it is very usual for 'c' to be followed by 'h' while in English we see 't' followed by 'h' a lot.\n",
"\n",
"Here we will build an application to categorize sentences in either English or German.\n",
"\n",
"First we need to build our dataset. We will take as input text in English and in German and we will extract n-gram character models (in this case, *bigrams* for n=2). For English, we will use *Flatland* by Edwin Abbott and for German *Faust* by Goethe.\n",

It requires a simple *list* of bigrams. So, if the text model shows that a bigram appears three times, we need to add it three times in the list. Since the text model stores the n-gram information in a dictionary (with the key being the n-gram and the value the number of times the n-gram appears) we need to iterate through the items of the dictionary and manually add them to the list of n-grams."

"You can add more languages if you want, the algorithm works for as many as you like! Also, you can play around with *n*. Here we used 2, but other numbers work too (even though 2 suffices). The algorithm is not perfect, but it has high accuracy even for small samples like the ones we used. That is because English and German are very different languages. The closer together languages are (for example, Norwegian and Swedish share a lot of common ground) the lower the accuracy of the classifier."

"## AUTHOR RECOGNITION\n",
"\n",
"Another similar application to language recognition is recognizing who is more likely to have written a sentence, given text written by them. Here we will try and predict text from Edwin Abbott and Jane Austen. They wrote *Flatland* and *Pride and Prejudice* respectively.\n",
"\n",
"We are optimistic we can determine who wrote what based on the fact that Abbott wrote his novella on much later date than Austen, which means there will be linguistic differences between the two works. Indeed, *Flatland* uses more modern and direct language while *Pride and Prejudice* is written in a more archaic tone containing more sophisticated wording.\n",
"\n",
"Similarly with Language Recognition, we will first import the two datasets. This time though we are not looking for connections between characters, since that wouldn't give that great results. Why? Because both authors use English and English follows a set of patterns, as we show earlier. Trying to determine authorship based on this patterns would not be very efficient.\n",
"\n",
"Instead, we will abstract our querying to a higher level. We will use words instead of characters. That way we can more accurately pick at the differences between their writing style and thus have a better chance at guessing the correct author.\n",

"Now it is time to build our new Naive Bayes Learner. It is very similar to the one found in `learning.py`, but with an important difference: it doesn't classify an example, but instead returns the probability of the example belonging to each class. This will allow us to not only see to whom a paper belongs to, but also the probability of authorship as well.\n",

"Finally, since we are dealing with long text and the string of probability multiplications is long, we will end up with the results being rounded to 0 due to floating point underflow. To work around this problem we will use the built-in Python library `decimal`, which allows as to set decimal precision to much larger than normal."

"This is a simple approach to the problem and thankfully researchers are fairly certain that papers 49-58 were all written by Madison, while 18-20 were written in collaboration between Hamilton and Madison, with Madison being credited for most of the work. Our classifier is not that far off. It correctly identifies the papers written by Madison, even the ones in collaboration with Hamilton.\n",
"Unfortunately, it misses paper 64. Consensus is that the paper was written by John Jay, while our classifier believes it was written by Hamilton. The classifier is wrong there because it does not have much information on Jay's writing; only 4 papers. This is one of the problems with using unbalanced datasets such as this one, where information on some classes is sparser than information on the rest. To avoid this, we can add more writings for Jay and Madison to end up with an equal amount of data for each author."
