Outcome
Which parts of the original text to be put into the reinterpreted page?
Similarity function
When delivering the original essay "Undecidability", I wanted to compress essential parts what the undecidability is meant by the author.
The way how I chose parts to be compressed was using "Similarity" function in NLTK. With this, I filtered 5 similar words with undecidability. Which were 'real, potentiality, resonances, spectatorship, original'.
Concordance function
Then I analysed the contexts of these five words, using a function of "Concordance".
Through this process, I was able to choose which parts of the original essay could be transferred to my new interpretation web page.
