The black hole…
...my black hole...
This is the fourth part of my ANTLR Tutorial. Previous issues, Part I, Part II and Part III are also available. Before you ask, I have no idea how many parts this tutorial will have. I will keep sharing some knowledge, both from ANTLR and C#. I hope you keep enjoying it and that it […]
Keeping up with the ANTLR tutorial, here goes a new issue. Part I and Part II are also available. As discussed previously, we are writing a conversion tool from the LOGO programming language into SVG. Up to now, we wrote a lot of code but did accomplish the generation of any SVG. In this issue […]
Continuing with the ANTLR tutorial, started in my last post, this second part advances with three main goals: Grammar Simplification The grammar presented in the last post was somewhat cucumbersome. The way we dealt with whitespace characters made the grammar difficult to read, as we needed to take care of where spaces could appear in […]
I’ve been working with Checkmarx for more than one and a half years, and I’ve been using ANTLR mostly daily. While there are some books on ANTLR, a couple of reference sites and some tutorials from the Strumenta site, I decided to write my own, with my vision of parsing and parsing writing in C#. […]
It’s been a long time since my last post here. It seems it gets less and less of a habit. It’s probably because I am not sure if someone reads my posts. Anyway, here goes a new one. Lately, I’ve been playing the game Tiny Room Stories: Town Mystery on my Android phone. Lately, I […]
I don’t write here for some time. It’s been a busy year. But a recent event makes me feel like it is an excellent time to write a little, about the architecture I created behind the Dicionário da Língua Portuguesa [Portuguese Language Dictionary] from Academia das Ciências de Lisboa [Lisbon’s Science Academy]. The story of […]
In the last months, I’ve been giving some classes on Natural Language Processing (NLP). I decided to share some of my experiments here. I will not give you rocket science. I will cover the basics. And I will share my vision. You are warned! One of the typical tasks in NLP is to process a […]
I am not a researcher in gamification or educational games, but I teach, I teach game development, and I play games. With this background, I’ve been thinking on how current gamification is directed, and especially, how educational games are being created. Gamification First, gamification is considered the solution for engagement, and thus, it is being […]
In the last few days, I needed to configure two Docker containers, one running a static React website (served by nginx) and another one running a Python Flask-based API, both behind Basic Auth (in the future, OAuth, but one step at a time) provided by Traefik. I discovered a couple of different things, both from […]
I was playing with GloVe, and noticed it does not ship with any code to run its pipeline. I suspect there are hundred of modules to do that from withing Python, but I decided to do a quick clean script to run that from the command line, and at the same time ready to tune […]
