Software for Multi-Lingual UTF8/Unicode Text Analysis
 
Description
Zipf 2.0© is a java application for performing analysis of multi-lingual text using a co-occurrence semantic text/content analysis (Harris, 1957; Hildum, 1963), traditional frequency distributions (Zipf, 1935) and learning/forgetting concepts. Controls are provided for exclusion / replacement of characters / tokens, learning and forgetting rates, window size and slide rate, directionality, and distance within window.

MDSJ (Brandes & Pich, 2007) - a Java Library for Riemann-Space (non-Euclidean) multidimensional scaling - is used to provide coordinate generation with controls for the number of dimensions to use.

WARNING: This software is no longer supported and has been replaced by the USNAA application.
