April is almost over! And after a couple of summer-like days, we’re back to seasonal

GPT-Agents

• 3:30 Meeting
• Working on a first pass at the religion map. Asking the GPT-3 for “A short list of religions:” returned a response that I regex’d into the following:

["Christianity", "Islam", "Hinduism", "Buddhism", "Judaism", "Sikhism", "Confucianism", "Shintoism", "Taoism", "Zoroastrianism", "Jainism", "Wicca"]

• Next was getting the prompt:

"A short list of the religions that are closest to {}:"

• working with the model. There are more varied responses, so the parsing is a little more complex. The way that I’m currently working is by having the model return ten (rather than 3) responses that I then organize:
  • The first element is to look for a similar Wikipedia page, which is done as follows:

source_term = "Seax Wicca"
page_list = wikipedia.search(source_term, suggestion=False)
print(page_list)
closest_list = dl.get_close_matches(source_term, page_list)
print(closest_list)

d = {}
total = 0
for p in closest_list:
    views = get_wiki_pageviews(p)
    d[p] = views
    total += views

for k in d:
    print("'{}' = {:,} views ({:.1f}%)".format(k, d[k], d[k]/total*100))

• Which generates:

['Seax-Wica', 'Magical tools in Wicca', 'Raymond Buckland', 'Wicca', 'Wheel of the Year', 'Altar (Wicca)', 'History of Wicca', 'Triple Goddess (Neopaganism)', 'Horned God', 'Faery Wicca']
['Seax-Wica', 'Wicca', 'Faery Wicca']
'Seax-Wica' = 194 views (0.7%)
'Wicca' = 25,755 views (97.7%)
'Faery Wicca' = 417 views (1.6%)

• I think for the time being, I’ll just pull the first one (closest_list[0]) and see what that looks like, though I could also use all close matches or the one with the largest page views
• Rolling all the changes into GraphToDB. Urk.
• I had to tweak out some junk text (maybe UTF-8 issues?) Here’s an example: = “Baháʼí Faith” is being rendered as

• It looks like this could be a solution: stackoverflow.com/questions/4299675/python-script-to-convert-from-utf-8-to-ascii
• But here’s a religion map!

• Here’s a bigger one:
