start

sentence: This automated decision-making is designed to take the human out of the equation.

n = 0.0 (float)
m = 0 (integer)

---------------------------------------------------------

epistemic_weasiling dict

sentence: This automated decision-making is popular belief and of course designed to take the human out of the equation.

prints:

phrase: popular belief
k: -0.75
n: -0.75
m: 2

phrase: of course
k: 1.0
n: 0.25
m: 4

>>> -0.75 + 1.0 / 2 = 0.25
>>> 2 + 2 = 4

---------------------------------------------------------

MODIFIER dict

sentence = 'This strongly hypothesized decision-making is popular belief and of course designed to take the human out of the equation.'

sentence = 'This strongly hypothesize decision-making is popular belief and of course designed to take the human out of the equation.'

<<< hypothesized --> hypothesize
<<< there is no lemmatization on word level in Word(), so hypothesized is not detected in the epistemic 

prints:
i+word+type+weight: 2 Word(u'said/VBD') VB 2
*MODIFIER DETECTED*
word: Word(u'said/VBD')
weight: 3
        (normally a verb has a +2 weight, but +1 from the MODIFIER, as 'hypothesized' is followed by 'strongly', a MODIFIER)
k: 0.25
n: 28.0
m: 231

---------------------------------------------------------

epistemic_type dict

sentence = 'This strongly hypothesize decision-making is popular belief and of course designed to take the human out of the equation.'

i+word+type+weight: 6 Word(u'belief/NN') NN 1
k: -0.25
n: 27.75
m: 232

>>> belief gets another k here as a NN 
>>> 'popular belief' is already rated in the epictemic_weaseling dict
>>> 'belief' is rated twice
>>> all the epistemic_weasling phrases that appear in the other dict's, are rated twice


---------------------------------------------------------

reverse score for negated terms

sentence = 'This strongly said decision-making is popular belief and of course designed to wish and not wish the human out of the equation.'

code:
if i > 0 and s(S[i-1]) in ("not", "n't", "never", "without"):

prints:

all words that appear in one of the epistemic dicts

how is m constructed?
>>> an addition of all weights

>>> on what basis are the different weights choosen?
>>> MD = 4, VB = 2, NN = 1, epistemic_weaseling = 2


>>> m += 2

modality rate calculation

code:
if m == 0:
        print 1.0 # No modal verbs/adverbs used, so statement must be true.
print 'modality rate:', max(-1.0, min(n / (m or 1), +1.0))

prints:
modality rate: 0.0961538461538

n = 1.25
m = 13

min((1.25 / 13), +1.0)
min(0.0961, 1)

>>> algorithm chooses the lowest of the two

max(-1, 0.0961)

>>> algorithm chooses the highest level


-------------------------------------------------------

the words that influence the modality rate:

(strongly)
said
popular belief
belief
of course
