interpreter - Improving semantic interpretation of dates

SemanticInterpretation and Interpreter are promising but imperfect, eg extracting dates and calendar expressions from semi-structured documents.

Consider this sample of 92 items extracted from legal documents by a team at USDOJ which develops regex: dates are a major challenge.

doj92[0] = {"February 2006","July 2006 - December 2006","December, 2006","2/1/07 - 2/28/07","Jan. 1-31, 2007","February 1-28, 2007","1/1/07 through 1/31/07","01-31-07","DECEMBER 1 TO DECEMBER 31, 2007","DECEMBER 30, 2006 TO JANUARY 31, 2007","Jan/Feb 2007","Mar. 21 through 31, 2007","Jan 3, 2007","First Quarter 2007","Nov & Dec 2006","DECEMBER ----- 2006","JANUARY -- 2007","March-2007","11/2007","7/07","12-06","JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER-2006","3/1/07 to 3/31/07","July 1, 2006 - Sept. 30, 2006","Oct. 1,2006 - Dec. 31,2006","Jan 1, 2003 - Mar 31, 2003","May 1 2007 To May 31 2007","APRIL 16TH, THROUGH APRIL 30TH, 2007","May 9th, through May 31st, 2007","May 31,07","Month of July","(Month Ending)August","July 2006, August 2006 and April 2007","Aug. 1 Through Aug. 31, 2007","8/1/ 07 - 8/31/ 07","May 30 - June 2007","6/1/30/2007 to 6/30/2007","080107 - 083107","Januanry 1, 2007 - Janurary 31, 2007","June 1, 2007 - June 31, 2007","September 31, 2007","September2007","Sep 07","July 20--31, 2007","August (2007) ","09 01 07 to 09 30 07","04-16-07/09-30-07","October, 2006 and February, 2007","5/25 - 5/31 2007 May","6/1 -6/30 2007","Sept.30,2007","Sept. 19 - Sept. 30","May 30 - June 2007","October 1st to October 9th","10/31/'07","8/9/078/31/07","10/1-07-10/31/07","11//14/07","10/1/7 to 10/31/7","Octobeer 2007","Seotember 2007","Septmber 2007","September 1, 2007 to Setember 30, 2007","July through September 2007 ","3Q07","0/30/2007","Augusut 2007","September, 30 2006","3rdQuater,2007","Beginning 08012007 and Ending 08312007","4th Quarterly Report 2006","Beginning 110107 and Ending 113007","10/01/07 to 10/310/07","JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTUBER 2007","11.07","Nov.2007","Novermber 2007","November 15, 2007 to Decmeber 15, 2007","093007 ","Novemer 2007","December 1, to 31, 2007","December 1,2007 through Deceber 31, 2007","Decmber 2007","DCEMBER 2008","12/1-31/07","Beginning 10/1/2007 and Ending 10/31/2007","Third Qtr 2007","November 2007, December 2007 & January 2008","12/01/207 to 12/31/2007","October 2007 - December 2007","January 16th through 31st, 2008","010108 to 013108"}//MapIndexed[<|"num"-> First@#2,"text"->  #1|>&]//Dataset;

Comparison table shown as compact screenshots:

doj92[1] = 
  doj92[0][All, 
   Append[#, <| "SemanticInterp" -> SemanticInterpretation[#text], 
      "Interp/Date" ->  Interpreter["Date"][#text], 
      "Interp/Computed" -> Interpreter["ComputedDate"][#text]|>] &];

Although SemanticInterpretation works better than Interpreter and even Interpreter notably on calendar expressions that yield date intervals, it fails or yields incorrect ambiguous interpretations for 42 (46%) items:

doj92[1][{11, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, 29, 31, 32, 33, 36, 37, 

  38, 41, 43, 44, 47, 48, 49, 56, 57, 58, 59, 65, 66, 69, 70, 71, 72, 
  73, 74, 75, 79, 81, 85, 86, 88, 91, 92}]

This small scale test based on real world data shows that significant pre-processing/normalization of the text is needed. Interpreter does accept pattern matching options, but its fail rate is much higher (with a few exceptions like #19-21).

Are there some basic pre-processing or options for these method that could improve performance and generalize? Or are large-scale tests needed to validate these tools?

plotting - How to draw lines between specified dots on ListPlot?

I would like to create a plot where I have unconnected dots and some connected. So far, I have figured out how to draw the dots. My code is the following: ListPlot[{{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4,13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full] I have thought using ListLinePlot command, but I don't know how to specify to the command to draw only selected lines between the dots. Do have any suggestions/hints on how to do that? Thank you. Answer One possibility would be to use Epilog with Line : ListPlot[ {{1, 1}, {2, 2}, {3, 3}, {4, 4}, {1, 4}, {2, 5}, {3, 6}, {4, 7}, {1, 7}, {2, 8}, {3, 9}, {4, 10}, {1, 10}, {2, 11}, {3, 12}, {4, 13}, {2.5, 7}}, Ticks -> {{1, 2, 3, 4}, None}, AxesStyle -> Thin, TicksStyle -> Directive[Black, Bold, 12], Mesh -> Full, Epilog -> { Line[ ...

equation solving - Invert and fit implicitly defined curve

I need to fit an implicitly defined curve. I thought I could get some data out of Solve , and then using FindFit . Therefore, I would like to find the relation the parametric curve defined by $F(x,y)=0$: Solve[-(1/2) + 1/2 (0.41202 BesselK[0, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]] + (0.101483 x BesselK[1, 0.1 Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]])/Sqrt[x^2 + y^2]) == 0, y] But I can't get an output: Solve was unable to solve the system with inexact coefficients or the system obtained by direct rationalization of inexact numbers present in the system. Since many of the methods used by Solve require exact input, providing Solve with an exact version of the system may help. >> Edit: In particular, I would like to fit the data coming from the curve with the expression of another curve, and not with a function $f(x)$. In particular, since this clearly looks like a cardioid , I would like it to fit to something like it. What other strategies could I try?

dynamic - How can I make a clickable ArrayPlot that returns input?

I would like to create a dynamic ArrayPlot so that the rectangles, when clicked, provide the input. Can I use ArrayPlot for this? Or is there something else I should have to use? Answer ArrayPlot is much more than just a simple array like Grid : it represents a ranged 2D dataset, and its visualization can be finetuned by options like DataReversed and DataRange . These features make it quite complicated to reproduce the same layout and order with Grid . Here I offer AnnotatedArrayPlot which comes in handy when your dataset is more than just a flat 2D array. The dynamic interface allows highlighting individual cells and possibly interacting with them. AnnotatedArrayPlot works the same way as ArrayPlot and accepts the same options plus Enabled , HighlightCoordinates , HighlightStyle and HighlightElementFunction . data = {{Missing["HasSomeMoreData"], GrayLevel[ 1], {RGBColor[0, 1, 1], RGBColor[0, 0, 1], GrayLevel[1]}, RGBColor[0, 1, 0]}, {GrayLevel[0], GrayLevel...
