Please Write-In Python Language (Topic: Word frequencies)

Method/Function: List<Token> tokenize(TextFilePath)
Write a method/function that reads in a text file and returns a list of the tokens in that file. For the purposes of this project, a token is a sequence of alphanumeric characters, independent of capitalization (so Apple, apple, aPpLe are the same token). You are allowed to use regular expressions if you wish to (and you can use some regexp engine, no need to write it from scratch), but you are not allowed to import a tokenizer (e.g. from NLTK), since you are being asked to write a tokenizer.

Method:  Map<Token,Count> computeWordFrequencies(List<Token>)
Write another method/function that counts the number of occurrences of each token in the token list. Remember that you should write this assignment yourself from scratch so you are not allowed to import a counter when the assignment asks you to write that method.

Method: void print(Frequencies<Token, Count>)
Finally, write a method that prints out the word frequency count onto the screen. The print out should be ordered by decreasing frequency (so, the highest frequency words first).

Print the output in this format:

<token> -> <freq>

Please give me some notes about the codes, thanks!!!

Please use Python!

def getText(file):

This function should open the file named file, and return the contents of the file formatted as a single string. During processing, you should (i) remove any blank lines, (ii) remove any lines consisting entirely of CAPITALIZED WORDS , and (iii) replace any explicit ’\n’ (newline) characters with spaces unless directly preceeded by a ’-’ (hyphen), in which case you should simply remove both the hyphen and the newline, restoring the original word.

def getText(file):

pass

def flushMarks(text):

This function should take as input a string such as what might be returned by getText() and return a new string with the following modifications to the input:

Remove possessives, i.e., "’s" at the end of a word;

Remove ’)’, ’(’, ’,’, ’:’, ’-’, ’_’, ’...’, ’"’ and "’"; and Replace ’!’, ’?’ and ’;’ with ’.’

A condition of this function is that it should be easy to change or extend the substitutions made. In other words, a function that steps through each of these substitutions in an open-coded fashion will not get full credit; write your function so that the substitutions can be modified or extended without having to significantly alter the code. Here’s a hint: if your code for this function is more than a few lines long, you’re probably not doing it right.

# Specification: takes a string, text, and removes possessives ('s)

# and most punctuation ('(),:\'"- —_').

def flushMarks(text):

Instructions

Instruction: Complete your essay in a new MS Word document and upload to iCollege. Your answer should demonstrate your ability to apply the concepts learned in our class. The word count of the text that includes your “own words” should be at least 500 words (about 700 max.). The text should be typed double-spaced using a 12-point font size in Times New Roman.

  1. The text argues that our standard of living depends upon the division of labor, upon the fact that people specialize, develop skills in their specialization, and then exchange for the goods and services they do not produce. Do you think it is possible to carry the division of labor too far? Is it likely that people get so “overspecialized” that they become alienated, and lose their creativity and their ability to understand a broad range of problems?

Suggested Answer: Students should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of division of labor. Someone specializing in the execution of a single operation might master it, but might be quite inadequate at others. Remember the famous Bruce Lee quote, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” Related concepts: Multiskilling, job rotation, job enrichment, assembly line.

Leather Ltd has been in business for many years making hand-made, high end, leather goods. One of its products is a designer jacket. There are two divisions involved in the production of jackets, the Cutting Centre and the Stitching Division. Budgeted production for both divisions is 500 jackets per year. The Cutting Centre specialises in cutting out the unique designs and currently only supplies to the Stitching Division, which expertly hand stitches the product to make a jacket of exceptional quality. The Stitching Division then sells the product to exclusive clients for £3,500 per jacket. The Cutting Centre incurs variable costs of £1,800 per jacket and fixed overheads of £100,000. The Stitching Division incurs further variable processing costs of £900 per jacket and fixed overheads of £50,000.

Required: (b) Calculate the budgeted annual profit for each division and the company as a whole if the cut leather is transferred to the Stitching Division at transfer price of £2,000.

(c) Assuming divisional performance is measured based on profit, discuss and explain the likely reaction of the divisional managers to an imposed transfer price of £2,000. (maximum word count 100 words)

(d) It has now come to light that the Cutting Centre could sell 300 units of cut designs to an external customer for £3,000 per unit. Discuss the effect that this will have on Leather Ltd’s profits and the willingness of each divisional manager to accept an imposed transfer price of £2,000 in each of the following scenarios separately: Scenario 1: The Cutting Centre capacity is sufficient to supply both the external customer and the Stitching Division. Scenario 2: A restricted supply of skilled labour means that the Cutting Centre has a maximum production capacity of 500 units.

Use calculations to support your answer. (maximum word count 120 words)

(e) If the Cutting Centre’s demand from external customers grows until it reaches a point where it is working at maximum capacity supplying goods to external customers at £3,000 a unit, calculate and explain the minimum transfer price that the Cutting Centre would charge, assuming other costs remain the same. (maximum word count 60 words)

Problem 1 - Find the Diphthongs

A diphthong is a composite vowel sound composed of two simple vowel sounds. We're going to be looking for these in words. For instance "ay" is normally a diphthong for instance in the words "lay" and "day", as is "ou" for instance in "loud," "lout."

We're going to simplify this by looking only for two vowels in a row in a word regardless of whether they are sounded out as diphthongs or not.  

Let me show some examples of the counting:

[Ae]rat[io]n; count = 2

F[ou]ndat[io]n; count = 2

Q[ue][ue]ing; count = 2

The reason that we are counting this as two, is because once we've used a vowel as part of a diphthong do not use it again.   

Note also that after the last pair, there's another vowel, but since the last e was used, the i doesn't pair, so it is not part of a diphthong.  

P[ae]an; count = 1

Several; count = 0

[Ae][ae][ae][ae][ae]; count = 5

This is obviously an invented word, but who cares, it's composed of five diphthong pairs.  

Glor[ia]; count = 1

For this exercise, the vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and y.  

Take in a word, output each diphthong pair and finally output the count.  

In terms of spaces, commas, and periods, let the words be divided, so don't count a dipthong over a space or other grammatical mark, meaning that for instance "a year" should group like "a [ye]ar" rather than "[a y][ea]r."  

Sample Output

linux1[150]% python3 find_diphthongs.py

Enter a string with a lot of diphthongs: aeration

ae

io

The diphthong count is 2

linux1[151]% python3 find_diphthongs.py

Enter a string with a lot of diphthongs: aeitiour

ae

io

The diphthong count is 2

linux1[152]% python3 find_diphthongs.py

Enter a string with a lot of diphthongs: ayayay

ay

ay

ay

The diphthong count is 3

linux1[153]% python3 find_diphthongs.py

Enter a string with a lot of diphthongs: argument

The diphthong count is 0

DIRECTION: Create an NCP in relation to the case scenario.

Case Scenario: This is a case of a patient referred to a specialty memory clinic at the age of 62 with a 2-year history of repetitiveness, memory loss, and executive function loss. Magnetic resonance imaging scan at age 58 revealed mild generalized cortical atrophy. He is white with 2 years of postsecondary education. Retirement at age 57 from employment as a manager in telecommunications company was because family finances allowed and not because of cognitive challenges with work. Progressive cognitive decline was evident by the report of deficits in instrumental activities of daily living performance over the past 9 months before his initial consultation in the memory clinic. Word finding and literacy skills were noted to have deteriorated in the preceding 6 months according to his spouse. Examples of functional losses were being slower in processing and carrying out instructions, not knowing how to turn off the stove, and becoming unable to assist in boat docking which was the couple’s pastime. He stopped driving a motor vehicle about 6 months before his memory clinic consultation. His past medical history was relevant for hypercholesterolemia and vitamin D deficiency. He had no surgical history. He had no history of smoking, alcohol, or other drug misuse. Laboratory screening was normal. There was no first-degree family history of presenile dementia. Neurocognitive assessment at the first clinic visit revealed a poor verbal fluency (patient was able to produce only 5 animal names and 1 F-word in 1 min) as well as poor visuospatial and executive skills. He had fluent speech without semantic deficits. His neurological examination was pertinent for normal muscle tone and power, mild ideomotor apraxia on performing commands for motor tasks with no suggestion of cerebellar dysfunction, normal gait, no frontal release signs. His speech was fluent with obvious word finding difficulties but with no phonemic or semantic paraphrasic errors. His general physical examination was unremarkable without evidence of presenile cataracts. He had normal hearing. There was no evidence of depression or psychotic symptoms.

Using python

what is needed to be added or changed

Problem 1:

The program has three functions in it.

  1. I’ve written all of break_into_list_of_words()--DO NOT CHANGE THIS ONE. All it does is break the very long poem into a list of individual words. Some of what it's doing will not make much sense to you until we get to the strings chapter, and that's fine--that's part of why I wrote it for you. :)
  2. There’s a main() which you’ll add a little bit to, but it should stay pretty small -- some print statements and some function calls
  3. There’s a definition of a function called count_how_many_words(), which takes two arguments. (Don’t change the arguments.) You’ll write the entire block for this.
    1. Note: My return statement is definitely not what you want; it’s just there so that the program runs when I give it to you. You will want to change what the function returns!

I want you to complete the count_how_many_words() function, and then call it (multiple times) inside main() to find out how many times Poe used the word “Raven” (or “raven”) and how many times he used “Nevermore” (or “nevermore”) inside the poem “The Raven.” You may not use list.count().

Don’t add any global variables or constants (besides the one I’ve declared, which could be moved into main() but would be even uglier there).

Example output (with incorrect numbers):

The word "Raven" (or "raven") appears 42 times in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven."

The word "Nevermore" (or "nevermore") appears 48 times in Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven."

There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction.

Tripp and Bichelmeyer (1990) suggested that rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction. They noted that this approach has been used successfully in software engineering; hence, rapid prototyping could also be a viable method for instructional design due to many parallels between software design and instructional design.

In examining the history of the visionary companies, we were struck by how often they made some of their best moves not by detailed strategic planning, but rather by experimentation, trial and error, opportunism, and--quite literally--accident. What looks in hindsight like a brilliant strategy was often the residual result of opportunistic experimentation and "purposeful accidents."

When I look back on the decisions I've made, it's clear that I made some of my best choices not through a thorough analytical investigation of my options, but instead by trial and error and, often, simply by accident. The somewhat random aspect of my success or failure is, at the same time, both encouraging and scary.

Major changes within organizations are usually initiated by those who are in power. Such decision-makers sponsor the change and then appoint someone else - perhaps the director of training - to be responsible for implementing and managing change. Whether the appointed change agent is in training development or not, there is often the implicit assumption that training will "solve the problem." And, indeed, training may solve part of the problem.... The result is that potentially effective innovations suffer misuse, or even no use, in the hands of uncommitted users.

Merck, in fact, epitomizes the ideological nature--the pragmatic idealism--of highly visionary companies. Our research showed that a fundamental element in the "ticking clock" of a visionary company is a core ideology--core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money--that guides and inspires people throughout the organization and remains relatively fixed for long periods of time.

While some have identified Merck as a visionary company dedicated to a "core values and a sense of purpose beyond just making money" (Collins & Porras, 2002, p. 48), others point out corporate misdeeds perpetrated by Merck (e.g., its role in establishing a dubious medical journal that republished articles favorable to Merck products) as contradictory evidence.

When instructors are creating discussion board activities for online courses, at least two questions must be answered. First, what is the objective of the discussions? Different objectives might be to create a "social presence" among students so that they do not feel isolated, to ask questions regarding assignments or topics, or to determine if students understand a topic by having them analyze and evaluate contextual situations. Based on the response to this question, different rules might be implemented to focus on the quality of the interaction more so than the quantity. The second question is, how important is online discussions in comparison to the other activities that students will perform? This question alludes to the amount of participation that instructors expect from students in online discussions along with the other required activities for the course. If a small percentage of student effort is designated for class participation, our results show that it can affect the quality and quantity of interactions.

According to Moore and Marra's (2005) case study, which observed two online courses, students in the first course implemented a constructive argumentation approach while students in second course had less structure for their postings. As they stated, when instructors create online discussion board activities, they must answer at least two questions. These questions are: "What is the objective of the discussions?" And "How important are online discussions in comparison to the other activities that students will perform?" According to their findings, the discussion activities that were designed based on the answers to these questions can influence the quality and quantity of interactions (Moore & Marra, 2005).

In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners' peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback.

According to Howard, Barrett, and Frick (2010), in order to make appropriate choices educators must understand the ways in which hiding or showing the identity of participants can impact the interaction that takes place in peer feedback activities. Obscuring the identity of participants in peer feedback "may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited" (p. 90).

While solitary negative reactions or unjustified suggestions for change have the potential to dissipate discourse rather than build it, the pattern analysis shows that the anonymous condition seemed to provide a safe explorative space for learners to try out more reasons for their multiple solutions. Teachers will rarely give anonymous feedback, but the experience of giving anonymous feedback may open a social space where learners can try out the reasons for their suggestions.

In their study of anonymity in an online peer feedback activity, the authors found that, under conditions of anonymity, learners seemed more inclined to provide reasons to back up their suggestions (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). Getting both suggestions and the reasons for the suggestions would be welcome in feedback I receive from peers or my instructors. Seeing the reasons would help me know that the suggestions have been thought through (even if I don't always agree with them).
