COMPUTER SCIENCE COLLOQUIUM Introducing an Object Oriented Design to the Ngram Statistics Package SAIYAM KOHLI Computer Science Graduate Student Monday, July 10, 2006 10:00 a.m. HELLER HALL 306 ABSTRACT The Ngram Statistics Package is a freely available tool that counts sequences of words in text, and identifies those that have some added significance via a number of different measures of association. This package has been available since 2001, and has literally hundreds of users. However, the internal organization of the package has shown signs of age and disrepair. This project was undertaken to make NSP more object oriented, in order to reduce code replication and to improve the maintainability of the package. A significant reorganization was undertaken that has greatly reduced the amount of duplication in the code, and improved the logical organization of the measures in the package. In addition, several new measures have been added to the package, and a significant optimization to Fisher's Exact test has been designed and implemented. ------------------------ Yahoo!
