    <p>I want to try and determine the characteristics of a user's personality based on the words they input into a search box. Here's an example:</p> <p><strong>Search term</strong>: "computers" </p> <p><strong>Personality/descriptors detected</strong>: analytical, logical, systematic, methodical </p> <hr> <p>I understand that this task is extremely non-trivial. I have used WordNet before, but I'm not sure if it includes adjective clouds for each noun node. Part-of-speech tagging is a beast of its own, so I'm not sure that building my own corpus and searching for adjective term-frequencies that coexist with keywords is the best idea, but I'll explain it below.</p> <p>I am currently working with a Wikipedia dump, processing each article for term frequency after having removed stop words (and, or, of, to, a, etc...). My thought was to possibly search for the coexistence of adjectives (using WordNet for POS tagging) and nouns throughout the corpus (eg. the adjective <strong>logical</strong> often co-occurs with the noun <strong>computer</strong>), and, based on the relative, stemmed-adjective frequency, judge it to be semantically related to the noun or not. The potential applications are immense. </p> <hr> <p>Another idea is to stem the noun, search for adjectives that begin with that stem, then search for synonyms of that adjective. Example:</p> <p><strong>Search term</strong>: "computers" </p> <p><strong>Stem</strong>: "comput-" </p> <p><strong>Adjectives with stem</strong>: computational</p> <p><strong>Synonyms</strong>: ???</p> <hr> <p>The problem is that adjective forms of nouns don't always have adjective forms, and some noun stems will match to horribly wrong adjectives. *<em>BAD</em>*example:</p> <p><strong>Search term</strong>: "running" (technically a gerund, but still a noun)</p> <p><strong>Stem</strong>: "run-" </p> <p><strong>Adjectives with stem</strong>: runny</p> <p><strong>Synonyms</strong>: NOT THE WORDS I WANT. Would like to find words like "athletic", "motivated", "disciplined"</p> <hr> <p>Is this something that has been done before? Do you have suggestions regarding how I might approach this? It's almost as if I'm seeking to generate adjective clouds for the "important" words in a document.</p> <p><strong>EDIT: I realize that there is no "correct" answer to this problem. I will reward the bounty to whomever presents a method with the best theoretical potential.</strong></p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
