O point ye, O click ye to...
The Third Annual MetaFilter Wordcount!
(Brought to you by the generosity of cortex, no grant from National Science Foundation, and Viewers Like You)
Chime in here if you'd like cortex to reveal to you the number of words you've typed on MetaFilter. If you've participated before, the links above contain your previous word counts.
And here's how it works! All you have to do in here is say something that's pretty unambiguously a "yes" or a "me too", and I'll add you to the list. I'll do periodic runs through that list to do two things:
1. Calculate your total word count on the site, and
2. Generate a word frequency table for you that I'll stick at a url that you can easily grab it from.
Please note that that url for (2) will be really, really not-secret, so if for some reason you would like to have your word frequency table generated but do not want it posted publicly, either say so really clearly in a comment here or just skip saying "yes" in here entirely and just mefimail me instead.
If you're curious about the details of the frequency table thing, here's an older comment I made about what's in 'em.
For clarity's sake, I've shamelessly abused my admin powers to edit in the url path to this comment now that I've done the first batch of numbers for folks.
Copy this url and replace XXXX with your userid, and you'll be able to get your file accordingly:

my last list was fucking BALLER
I'm really hoping that my list removes "sandusky" and "paterno" but it will probably be replaced by "Manti" or "T'eo"; basically, my pattern just tells me that I should just comment at Deadspin and Doctor Who websites.

I just realized that due to the months-long absence, my numbers will be slightly off for averaging purposes.
I wonder if it is possible to use my previous word-frequency tables, my posting frequency, and all my previous comments to hack up some sort of markov chain script that will basically simulate three missing months of my commentary.
You know, for more-even statistics. Definitely for not some sort of emergent behavior cybermind cloning thing.
Not at all.

Ha, good question. I'm pretty sure it'll be the final canonical form of the text based on my understanding of how pb engineered the editing feature to behave on the backend, but I hadn't actually looked at that explicitly.

Alright, here's the first batch, from the top of the thread, in order of request, on through QuantumMeruit. See my comment up top for the url to find your frequency table.
If you think you should be here but aren't, either your yes wasn't unambiguous enough or I typoed your userid or I just goofed. In any case, speak up and I'll get you in the next run.
I'll continue to run batches periodically, at least one more today for sure and then at least daily after that while there's still interest, so don't worry about having missed the boat.

What's that I see projected against the clouds in the night sky? Why, it's the image of some other, different cloud. Looks like someone is summoning Cloud Man! (Actually, griphus sent me a memail.)
I'd be glad to generate people's clouds again. (I'd also be glad to hand over the script to someone else, if they're interested.) I'm behind a slower internet connection right now, so it won't be as quick as last year.
To get started I need two things, probably from cortex:
1) What's the URL pattern again? Last year was:
I keep a local copy of the site-wide file so I won't waste your bandwidth, and the file I used last year had about 337,000 lines (distinct words) and ran fast enough, so don't bother limiting it to words appearing ten or more times.
When I get this sorted out (2-3 days?), I'll post in here again and open up for cloud requests
(Cloud Man disappears into the night, leaving a few ppm of vowels swirling behind him in the night air, and returns to his lair above the "Constructed Languages" shelves in the Reference section of the Boston Public Library.)

my $user_url = sprintf "http://stuff.metafilter.com/corpus/freq/temp" . "/%s--1-gram--allsites--1999-01-01--2013-01-01.txt", $user_id;2) I need a site-wide baseline set of data. Last year I used
mefi--2010-01-01--2011-01-01.txt (I don't immediately remember the URL I got that from.)Because the individual files didn't cover the same time period as the site-wide file there was some issue with some indiv. words not being in the site-wide list. The script can handle this, but maybe it would be worth creating a new site-wide file for the exact same period as the individual files?

1. The url structure has snuck into my comment at the top of the thread, it's basically the same except 2013 is now 2014. Easy peasey. Peasy?
2. A more recent baseline dataset for the whole site is available on the Frequency Tables page; "allsites--1999-01-01--2013-01-01.txt.zip" would be the most thorough canonical one if you can handle its great girth.
Though just for thoroughness's sake I'll try running one off that's up to today to minimize as much as possible the no-show nature of unlikely words. And if you want a tailored file for one reason or another, just let me know.

Okay, so once we get rid of the boring words that I use a lot, the top four are 'people' with 1909, 'school' with 470, 'trans' with 427 (quelle surprise, I guess we know what threads I'm in), and 'BLANK' with 422, which I'm assuming is something other than 'BLANK' (carriage returns?), since I only used 'foo' three times.

Alas, the default frequency tables are 1-grams, just to keep things sane. I have the ability to generate bigrams and in theory n-grams for arbitrary n, though arbitrary becomes pretty problematic once n gets bigger than 3 or 4 for anyone with a significant comment load because of my suboptimal approach.
So, long story short, if you specifically want to see bigrams or trigrams right me a mefimail about it with a 25-word essay on why and I can do it as a one-off.

Alright, here's the second run, from lizjohn through FirstMateKate. See my comment at the top of the thread for the url to plug your userid into to get your word frequency table.
I'll continue to run these at least daily for a while, so if you're getting here late or I missed or typoed you somehow, just speak up and I'll get you on the next run.

Well zeppelin-like would probably be referring to the shape, such as a cylindrical nicotine inhaler, whereas zeppelin-sized would be referring to something quite large, such as the size of Michael Jackson's ego when Weird Al asked to do a parody of Beat It. Just guessing though.

All these points about -sized and -like are true, and I'd like to believe I'm clever enough to have been making that distinction. But I'm sure in both cases in context I meant "really big", and might have been referring to Roger Water's ego in one of them.

I've been passing my word corpus through a randomzing awk script and a python Markov chain generator. Nothing looks particularly plausible, probably because it's just a list of words instead of actual text. Still, a few random gems have popped up and aren't half-bad presented as minimal Gibsonesque blank-verse:
anything easy
later
tried including hives
west
jesus clothes
have seconding night
website running beyond price
sold ideas
spanish uh dig posts
supply hanging
trained
watched
battery overnight prison pulling stolen colonies
degree paperwork bother confess
dollar gather roundup troubleshoot
author blocked
ignore
jay participate
rdr stress bred complex dominion
fm
jose lies
misty reveals
shee-it
I don't know what the hell Jose lied about or what Misty ended up revealing, but whatever it was, the author seemed pretty defeated by the end.

cortex: Oh, man, BLANK. BLANK is a bug I may have fixed in a later revision of the code this was branched off for metatalking purposes.
Ignore it, there are no valid all-caps tokens, it's just a placeholder for "this string turned out to be empty after we cleaned out punctuation and such but we forgot to actually throw it away before counting".
Could it be non-ASCII UTF-8 stuff? I know I've typed a few things that weren't in latin characters and don't see any in the generated file, so they might be getting stripped out into BLANK.
On the bright side now that I've typed it here I'm definitely getting BLANK in my word count next year. woohoo!

I've been passing my word corpus through a randomzing awk script and a python Markov chain generator.
Heh, you may be a candidate for a 3-gram file, if you're going to chase after my heart like that anyway. I'll try running one and sending it your way if you want.
On the bright side now that I've typed it here I'm definitely getting BLANK in my word count next year. woohoo!
Actually, you'll just have one more "blank" in your count; I normalize everything to lowercase to keep the files smaller.
Could it be non-ASCII UTF-8 stuff?
That's presumably at least part of it, yeah.

Incidentally, if anyone else is interested in putzing around like me (BUSY DAY AT THE OFFICE, DEAR?), I grabbed the corpus file, extracted out the n-grams themselves and renamed it to something shorter. Then:
while true; do echo; cat 3grams.out | awk 'BEGIN {srand()} !/^$/ { if (rand() <= .01) print $0}' > input.txt ; python markov.py; echo; sleep 5; done
The awk statement writes out a randomish selection from the original file. The python script reads it and does the magic. There seems to be some clumpiness in what awk is pulling, but I think it sometimes makes for a nice alliterative effect.
The python bit is here. My only changes were to line 7, where I changed the name of the input file to 'input.txt' and line 36, where I played around with the length of generated text. I also fiddled with the 'order' setting on line 5, with various results. It's wrapped in a loop to scroll semi-coherent gibberish every few seconds.

latkes: "Theory: Higher word count correlates closely with high popularity (difficult to measure, I know.)"
I could be wrong, but I suspect favorites made to comments would be a better metric than word count. Even though some people do use them as bookmarks.
Maybe some sort of conglomeration of the two?

jquinby, to my eye that output seems less coherent than I'd expect from a degree-3 markov model. Are you sure it's operating as expected, correctly chaining key{word_n word_n+1} -> value{word_n+2} successively across trigrams?

Ah, you said you'd fiddled with it and the order in there is set to 2 which is about as coherent as it looks. I've always found order 3 to be a nice sweet spot of coherence over the short term with wild veering surreality at the sentence/paragraph level, though for a small enough corpus the downside is you get less variation from the source text.

There are times, my beloved hat, when my heart has a tiny reaction to your words. Nearly imperceptible, almost beneath the threshold of thought. Perceptible only to those who really listen.
You could, perhaps, if we were sitting companionably in a room together, in a companionable silence, if you listened very closely, make it out...

I wish I knew my shell scripting any any Python at all so I could satisfy my curiosity about this, because eevn your new 3-degree results don't read convincing to me. I wonder if that .py script is counting whitespace as a token in the ngrams it builds up for its markov table; if so then what I think of as order n would actually be represented as order 2n-1, which means it'd be order 5 that'd really start to look a bit more coherent.
Out of curiosity, would you do a test run at like order = 9? Regardless of which token-counting scheme it uses, that should produce some pretty dull, coherent reiterations of the source text. if it stays pretty incoherent like this at that point, there's clearly something else going on.

wait how do you get the word chains?
You ask me super nicely. They're a little more time-consuming to generate so I'm not just doing them for everybody by default, but if you want e.g. a 4-gram file like the one I made for jquinby I can do that.
In related news, I cranked out a (92 megabyte!) 4-gram file for myself a little bit ago just for giggles and while there's nothing surprising about most of the entries at the top (it's all common preposition-heavy sentence glue stuff like "if you want to", "in the first place", "a lot of people", "that sort of thing", "in a way that"), there are a few things that I guess speak to my more emphatic tendencies:
I've used the string "a hell of a" 143 times, "hell of a lot" 104, "the hell out of" 93, "pain in the ass" 82, etc.
I've also apparently said both "part of the problem" and "take it to metatalk" exactly 48 times.
The most common four-word string involving "fuck" that I've used is 17 instances of "cut it the fuck", which, I'm guessing we can predict the next word after that in most cases. Also "what the fuck is" at 16, "or whatever the fuck" at 9, "fucking with the site" at 6, "fuckall to do with" at 4, and so on and so on.

Also this little poem sums up my first year in NYC and probably also 2009:
my point is that
myself how to grow
need to get away
new york is where
no one in the
no one listens to
not a big deal
not even a little
not going to do
not going to help
not interested in the
not one of those
not saying it doesn't
not something you should
not sure exactly what
not that it matters

I've used the words "patriarchy" and "Romani" as many times as the words "rice" and "worry".
I wonder why my hyphenates include "all-services-start-january-19"? "cataract-from-barfighting"? Perhaps David Bowie. "mommy-filter-800-word-book-shill-nyt"? I have no idea.
"meta-pedantry"! I suspect I meant pedantry in MeTa, but uncapitalized it's a perfectly self-descriptive word.

Wow, a super quick check of the corpus reveals that I say "actually" almost 3 times as much as the rest of you, which for such a common word is almost certainly statistically significant. Crap.
Also, cortex, in the latest full corpus file the word "shit" appears to be used only once, which cannot possibly be true... que pasa?

OK, not to compete with Benito, but here's my enriched/depleted words, based on Fisher test and thresholded at an FDR of 0.1%.
Words I say less often than the avg MeFite:
"Shit" and "were" seem bizarre to me, but hey, I can definitely believe that I talk about metabolomics 1,000x more than the average MeFite, so there we go. I also appear to have some weird-ass writing tics - for one thing, I love my conjunctive phrases (actually, potentially, ultimately) and adverbs in general (pretty, mostly, definitely).
My depleted words read bizarrely like a sprinkling of word salad from an Obama speech.

shit and were are both way bizarre, yeah. And, really, any non-domain-specific, non-proper-noun word showing up that a multiple orders of magnitude out of whack for anything other than a very very small corpus seems werid, so ill, bee, beings, acts, association and popular are all pretty dang weird too.
Clearly something is up, someone else mentioned an absurdly low shit count upthread in the corpus file I generated. I'll take a look at my file, maybe something went weird on my end.

And if I could tell (or thought I could) that you were asking for a special 4-gram frequency table as well after that all came up, you're on this list:

148248
99046
77383

152152

Also, I'm not gonna share the 4-gram table for the entire site for all time because uncompressed it is 1.3 fuckin' gigabytes, but I could make a cropped version of that available directly if any of you dedicated datawankers specifically want to try and do some 4-gram vs. site-baseline comparisons in the spirit of the existing wordcloud / comparative frequency stuff. I would guess it'd mostly be weird and noisy but, hey, I've never tried!

The top of that site-wide-for-all-time 4-gram list is very boring in the way you'd expect it to be from looking at any of this stuff previously; it's all really common strings of simple words, the same conversational glue that I referenced upthread when talking about the 4-gram stuff previously. A sampling:
Although it is a little interesting that the top item, "on the other hand", is a figurative phrase. "In the first place" is also right up there. These are idiomatic expressions so ingrained into our culture of speaking that they likely don't even register as figurative most of the time when we use them; unless someone's using it to poetic effect or making a jokey play on it ("on the third hand...", etc) it just glides by without even a sense of metaphor. It's just what you say, right?
There's plenty of common repetition of emphatic stuff: here's a filtered sample of the top 4-grams that contain the substring "fuck":

Interesting how far down the shit list you have to go to get a plausible literal reference to feces.
(The highest one I see, just skimming, is "solvent for shit stuck" — which I guess still could be shit-as-in-a-generic-term-for-"matter" but is at least plausibly interpretable as referring to Liquid Plumber or something like that.)

Here you go, you silly son of a bitch. Note that the parsing process for the word counts treats each comment as a unit, and iterates through each 4-gram in order; so, tokens 1-4, tokens 2-5, tokens 3-6, etc. And it nixes punctuation and whitespace, so the dot in newtgingrich.com gets converted to white space and newtgingrich and com become two adjacent tokens, and the html and carriage return that separate each instance get converted into a token that I'm incorrectly leaving as a "nothing useful here!" BLANK placeholder instead of properly stripping, and successive lines/paragraphs in a comment flow one into the other.
So if I fix the BLANK bug, that'd actually count two lines of newtgingrich.com in a row as "newtgingrich com newtgingrich com" instead of the BLANKified version you're currently seeing.

Hey guys, I cleaned up the script I was using a little and made it (somewhat) suitable for public consumption. Basically, here are the steps for a DIY corpus analysis:
(Note those weirdo points on the far-left - possibly the same bug in the MeFi-wide corpus?)
posted by en forme de poire at 2:24 PM on August 13, 2013 [6 favorites]
- Download your individual corpus (http://stuff.metafilter.com/corpus/freq/temp/XXXX--1-gram--allsites--1999-01-01--2014-01-01.txt, where XXXX is your user number)
- Download and unzip the master MeFi corpus ("allsites--1999-01-01--2013-01-01.txt.zip" from here
- Download and install R, if you don't already have an installation (it is cross-platform and open source!)
- Download this script, changing the path to the corpus files as necessary
- Run the script and wait (possibly a long time depending on your computer; R will not appear to be doing anything during this time unless you look at CPU consumption; probably could have put in a progress bar or something but I am highly lazy)
- Output is saved in "significant-words.csv", which you can open in any spreadsheet program, plus a frequency plot in "word-freq-plot.pdf" which shows the corpus frequencies vs. your own frequencies with the significant ones highlighted and labeled (may be kind of a busy plot, sorry 'bout it)
(Note those weirdo points on the far-left - possibly the same bug in the MeFi-wide corpus?)
