AlchemyCmd
Command line text analysis tool for Linux/Unix
AlchemyCmd? What’s that?
AlchemyCmd is a command-line tool for performing natural language processing and text analysis on Linux/Unix systems.
What Does It Do?
AlchemyCmd enables you to perform named entity extraction, concept tagging, keyword extraction, language detection, and structured content extraction directly from the command line.
This tool can process HTML or text content on your local filesystem, crawl Internet-hosted web pages, and process content from standard input (stdin). This makes it easy to construct shell scripts and UNIX command pipes that leverage natural language processing.
OK, How Do I Use It?
AlchemyCmd provides a wide variety of NLP and content retrieval options. You may see the available command-line options by issuing the following command:
- alchemycmd —help
To perform concept tagging on an Internet-hosted web page, you may issue the following command:
- alchemycmd —mode concept -S web -U “http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/07/13/steinbrenner.obit/index.html?hpt=T1”
The above command would return concept tagging results in a simplified, comma separated value (CSV) format:
New York Yankees,0.956409Major League Baseball,0.62449
George Steinbrenner,0.548511
Billy Martin,0.473525
Yankee Stadium,0.457922
Reggie Jackson,0.423929
Derek Jeter,0.421396
YES Network,0.413723
Output in XML format may also be retrieved using the “—output-mode xml” command-line option.

Take a regular pillow, add some LEDs and some Wi-Fi, pair it with another, identical pillow far away, and what do you have? Probably some pretty uncomfortable bedding for starters, but you’ll also have the Relational Pillow, an interactive device from the minds of MIT’s Ambient Intelligence Group. The idea is disgustingly cute: One person “draws” on his or her pillow just by touching it (sensors are beneath the surface), watching the LEDs light up. At the same time, the Wi-Fi transmits the drawing to the other pillow, which can theoretically be anywhere in the world… sort of an interactive Etch-A-Sketch, but comfier.

imogen luddy: cross stitch table
cool idea, and name. :)
Imogen luddy is a london based textile designer who recently graduated from the royal college of art. luddy’s work takes inspiration from antique lace, doilies and other embroidery, or in the case of the cross stitch table, a piece of 16th century italian lace. the piece is a table top made from laser cut stainless steel with small perforations all over to create the pattern. the design aims to subvert the traditional notions of a table covering by taking an old concept and re-imagining it with modern materials and manufacturing processes.

Awesome. This is what I’m talking about for personal info display. Really clever interface.
1 month agoThe AQUA2, built at McGill University in Montreal, is the first of its kind. You see, the AQUA2 is a robot that can both dive and swim in water, and move about on land. The amphibious bot can explore water up to 120 feet and is tethered to a remote control via ethernet or fiber optics. The ‘headless’ robot’s flippers make it a pretty impressive swimmer, and it’s also strikingly fast on even rough terrain. Check out the video after the break.

So cool! Go Yogi!
