I'm working on automating slang term variant creation on OnlineSlangDictionary.com . For example, making the main entry "blow (one) away" also available under
blow him away
blow her away
blow them away
etc.
It's an unfortunate tax I have to pay to search engines. Luckily it'll pay off additionally when I switch from Google Custom Search to a real custom search solution, and it'll be useful for a few upcoming special projects.
Are you using any parsing tools? Like the stanford NLP?
Not yet. Right now it's just boring search-and-replace ("(one)" => "me", "you", "him", "her", ...) complicated by the fact that the site has a lot of moving parts. (I started it in 1996.)
I'll be looking into Stanford NLP, Python NLTK, etc. in the near future for the aforementioned "special projects".
I am currently developing an API for the stanford NLP so that other web apps can easily use that parsing and word tagging tool.
I'd be quite interested in that! Do you have a website / blog / some way we can keep up with your progress?
Cool website. I like the idea of the "where is this slang used" feature.
