Concise: A Simple and Clear Concordance Software for Chinese


After couples of days hard working, I can now introduce CONCISE: A Simple and Clear Concordance Software. Definitions from dictionary states that Concise means "giving a lot of information clearly and in a few words; brief but comprehensive." That is the way the software Concise works--giving only necessary and important information, such as concordance, collocates, word clusters, and words list.


Concise is a simple and clear concordance software on Mac OS X, works well with Chinese (中文) tokens. However, the Chinese Tokenizer was **NOT** included in this version. There are still too many problems to tokenize Chinese sentences. Concise does only concordance analysis, collocation analysis, word clusters, word list, and generate collocational network data so fat.

Features:
  • Simple and Clear
  • Working well with Chinese
  • Supporting concordance analysis, collocation analysis, word clusters, and words list
  • Generating Collocational Network data

Further works:
  • output query results to text and Microsoft Excel format.
  • keyword analysis (comparing with another corpus)
  • Chinese Tokenizer (perhaps)

Concise is developed entirely by JAVA and SWT. Hopefully, Concise will be able to run on multiple platforms. Nonetheless, I am not going to release Concise right now. So, let's wait and see.

There is also a sample visualized collocational network (node word is 強震[strong earthquake]).  This work is a description of Japan Earthquake on March 11th, 2011.  Data were collected from news service at Yahoo! Taiwan among March 11th to April 11th, 2011.  See Descriptions of Japan Earthquake and Tsunami News Reports (日本地震海嘯新聞事件的時間描述, in Chinese) and News Analysis of Japan Earthquake and Nuclear Crisis (日本地震與核輻射新聞報導, in Chinese) for details.

差不多食譜:手工巧克力餅乾 Chocolate Cookies

又是手工餅乾,最近一連出了兩份餅乾食譜,這個「手工巧克力餅乾」已經是第三份了。會不會有更多呢?我可以告訴大家,這是肯定的。 要怪就怪這個陰鬱的冬季雨天,哪裡都不方便去,也懶得出去。餅乾櫃空在那邊已經很久了,雖然有時候會嘴饞,但也沒有迫切去補貨的必要。反正經常開伙,平常該有的材料都會有,自己弄個成分完全透明的零食,也是個不錯的選擇。再說,用烤箱進行烘焙時,房間會變得比較乾燥,也比較溫暖。在夏天是個折磨,但到了冬天,這種感覺還滿不錯的。 話不多說,開始進行這一道「手工巧克力餅乾」的準備工作。
