Java 21 Word Simplifier

An API that is used to take a sample of text from a .txt file, and simplify the passage using the top 1000 words according to Google. Note that this project was created using Java 21. Please make sure that you have at most the Java 21 JDK installed before attempting to compile and / or run this program. Additionally, this simplifier is only compatible with .txt files.

Note: This assignment was done to satisfy the requirements for the Software Design & Data Structures module for the H.Dip. in Science (Software Development) from the Atlantic Technological University

Possible CLI Actions

1. Choose similarity algorithm (Cosine or Dot)
2. Choose relative path for word embeddings

   This API was created with 50d Gl0ve word embeddings in mind, but should work for different sized embeddings. Your mileage may vary.

3. Choose relative path for simplified word embeddings

   Only supports files where words are listed line-by-line (i.e. no weights associated with it)

4. Choose relative output path

   i.e. where your simplified text file will go

5. Choose relative input path

   i.e. the location of the text file you would like to simplify

6. Exit Program

How to run it

When running this program you have two options:

1. Run the included .jar file using java -cp ./simplifier.jar ie.atu.sw.Runner to begin the program
2. Open the src folder in a new project, compile, and run from there.
