What did John Hinckley do to impress Jodie Foster?

Impress >> printer :o

Here is the list of words given by NLTK, with their probability:

[('printer', 0.25),
 ('imprint', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('impressment', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('impression', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('printing', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('shanghaier', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('instilling', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('impress', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('affect', 0.08333333333333333),
 ('print', 0.08333333333333333)]

This is sad, because the verb impress means "affect strongly " whereas the noun impress is more related to printing (see wiktionary). We could hope a better nounification for this one (without hardcoded exception).

if we hardcode non-general words (!= questions words, be, have, ...) whe should put the map out of the file where algos are

[Ezibenroc]

Yes. And do the same for dependenciesMap.

[yhamoudi]

I'm not sure it's the same thing. dependenciesMap is a core of the algo. Its size will not increase (contrary to nounifyException that already contains non-usual words). Moreover, dependenciesMap is "special" because certain words are mapped to functions, i'm not sure it's easy to put the map out of the file that contains these functions.

[Ezibenroc]

Yes I agree.
