Nehovah: A Neologism Creator Nomen Ipsum
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe a system called Nehovah that generates neologisms from a set of base words provided by a user. Nehovah focuses on creating “good” neologisms by evaluating various attributes of a neologism such as how well it communicates the source concepts and how “catchy” it is. Because Nehovah depends on the user to weight the importance of various attributes of the neologism and to choose the source concepts, it is at this point most appropriately considered a collaborative system rather than an autonomous one. To demonstrate the utility of the system, we show several examples of system output and discuss the creativity of Nehovah with respect to several characteristics critical for any computational creative system: appreciation, imagination, skill and accountability.

متن کاملNomen: A Dynamically Typed OO Programming Language, Transpiled to Java
Nomen is an experimental, dynamically typed OO programming language which compiles to Java source code. The translation to Java is transparent: a class in Nomen is a class in Java, a method in Nomen is a method in Java, etc. The generated code is thus relatively idiomatic (allowing the JVM to optimize method dispatch), and easy to map back to Nomen code during debugging. Furthermore, the compil...
متن کاملCrossodactylodinae Fouquet, Blotto, Maronna, Verdade, Juncá, de Sá & Trefaut Rodrigues, 2013 is an invalid junior synonym of Paratelmatobiinae Ohler & Dubois, 2012 (Amphibia, Anura).
Among the results of their survey of the phylogenetic relationships among over 2800 species of recent amphibians, Pyron & Wiens (2011) identified a new clade of frogs including the genera Paratelmatobius Lutz & Carvalho, 1958 and Scythrophrys Lynch, 1971. Both these genera were previously placed in the family Leptodactylidae Werner 1896 (1838), whether conceived as a large (e.g., Frost et al. 2...
متن کاملA review of genus-group names in Diptera (Insecta) that J.C. Fabricius “borrowed” from other dipterists and proposed as new in his systematic works from 1775 to 1805
It is shown that a total of eight pre-existing genus-group names in Diptera were “borrowed” and deliberately given new identities in the systematic works of J.C. Fabricius: Bibio Fabricius, 1775, Ceria Fabricius, 1794, Hirtea Fabricius, 1798, Mulio Fabricius, 1798, Scatophaga Fabricius, 1805, Sicus Fabricius, 1798, Thereva Fabricius, 1798 and Voluccella Fabricius, 1794. These names are reviewed...
متن کاملThe different meanings of the nomen Amphibia: a correction.
I recently published a survey of the different meanings of the nomen Amphibia in taxonomic publications since 1758 (Dubois 2015). The 'meaning' of a nomen in zoological nomenclature depends on the system used for the allocation of nomina to taxa, and several such systems can be used (see e.g. Dubois 2006a-b). In the paper at stake, I used the 'orostensional nomenclatural system' (OONS) for clas...
