gibberish-detector

Gibberish-detector is built upon a Clojure port of @rrenaud's python gibberish detector. For a full description of how the HMM classifier works, please refer to his README.

A key difference between this implementation and @rrenaud's is that in this implementation, false will be printed if a sentence is not gibberish and true will be printed if it is. Besides, this detector include some heristic rules in determining when to use HMM classifer and when to use direct dictionary check.

Installation

[juji/gibberish-detector "0.2.3-SNAPSHOT"]

OR

git clone https://github.com/huahaiy/Gibberish-detector

Note: You will have to do lein run in order for the program to generate the data file it needs to determine if input is gibberish. After that simply call is the is-gibberish? function in detect.clj.

Usage

Require [gibberish-detector.detect]

Examples

(is-gibberish? "dafsfaenadf") => true

(is-gibberish? "hello") => false

(is-gibberish? "dafdsfa hello") => true

(is-gibberish? "Hey what's up") => false

(is-gibberish? "i adfsaf afeia dasf safsa nnn12") => true

Adding more data

big.txt

The big.txt file is used in trainer.clj to initialize the markov chain.

(with-open [rdr (clojure.java.io/reader "big.txt")]
  (doseq [line (line-seq rdr)]
    (doseq [[a b] (ngram 2 line)]
      (swap! counts #(update-in % [(pos a) (pos b)] inc)))))

If you wish to replace big.txt with another large text file, replace "big.txt" with the name of the new file. The new file should be located in the root project directory.

good.txt

The good.txt file is used in trainer.clj to obtain a vector of average-transition-probabilities of words we know to be not gibberish.

(with-open [rdr (clojure.java.io/reader "good.txt")]
        (doseq [line (line-seq rdr)]
          (swap! good-probs #(conj % (avg-transition-prob line @counts)))))

If you wish to replace goood.txt with another file whose lines are NOT gibberish then simply change "good.txt" to the name of a new file located in the root project directory.

bad.txt

The bad.txt file is used in trainer.clj to obtain a vector of average-transition-probabilities of words we know to be gibberish. Every line in bad.txt consists of random characters (aka gibberish).

(with-open [rdr (clojure.java.io/reader "bad.txt")]
        (doseq [line (line-seq rdr)]
          (swap! bad-probs #(conj % (avg-transition-prob line @counts)))))

If you wish to replace bad.txt with another file whose lines are NOT gibberish then simply change "bad.txt" to the name of the new file located in the root project directory.
