Programming Praxis 
Reblogged this on InspiredWeightloss!.
Python 2.7 version
Uses the pronunciation file to build two dictionaries:
The first one maps a word to its ending phenomes (from the primary stress to the end of the word);
The second one maps the ending phonemes to a list of words that have that ending.
do_rhyme() and find_rhymes() then use the dictionaries.
import gzip from collections import defaultdict db = defaultdict(set) rdb = defaultdict(set) with gzip.open('c06d.gz') as f: for line in (s.strip() for s in f if s[0].isalpha()): line = line.split() word = line[0] if word.endswith(')'): word = word[:word.index('(')] ending = [] for phoneme in reversed(line[1:]): ending.append(phoneme) if phoneme.endswith('1'): break ending = ' '.join(reversed(ending)) db[word].add(ending) rdb[ending].add(word) db = {k:sorted(v) for k,v in db.items()} rdb = {k:sorted(v) for k,v in rdb.items()} def do_rhyme(word1, word2): return bool(set(db[word1]).intersection(db[word2])) def find_rhymes(word): return [rdb[sound] for sound in db[word]]Ruby style, matching every item after a vowel and building a map of maps of arrays hash[vowel][consonant] = [words with these stuff] (if I understood the rules well :-))
f = File.new(ARGV[0]) daMap = Hash.new() do |h, k| h[k] = Hash.new() do |hh, kk| hh[kk] = Array.new() end end while !f.eof() line = f.readline() trailingStr = /[A-Z]+[0-2] ?([A-Z ]+)*$/.match(line) next if trailingStr.nil?() daWord = /^.*? /.match(line).to_s().chop() trailingBits = trailingStr.to_s().split(' ') vowel = trailingBits.shift() trailingBits.each() do |bit| daMap[vowel][bit] << daWord end end daMap.each() do |vowel, trailingGuys| trailingGuys.each() do |guy, people| if people.size() > 1 puts "#{people.join(', ')} do rhyme !" end end endi like the programming job done at http://www.prime-rhyme.com
