# Gargantext Purescript

## About this project

Gargantext is a collaborative web platform for the exploration of sets
of unstructured documents. It combines tools from natural language
processing, text-mining, complex networks analysis and interactive data
visualization to pave the way toward new kinds of interactions with your
digital corpora.

You will not find this software very useful without also running or being
granted access to a [backend](https://gitlab.iscpif.fr/gargantext/haskell-gargantext).

This software is free software, developed by the CNRS Complex Systems
15 16
Institute of Paris Île-de-France (ISC-PIF) and its partners.

### Development

You can compile the purescript code with:
97

98
```shell
James Laver's avatar
James Laver committed
99
yarn compile
100
```
101

102
Or run a repl:
103 104 105 106 107

```shell
yarn repl
```

108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143
```shell
yarn install && yarn ps-deps
```

### Running a dev server

```shell
yarn dev
```

This will launch a hot-reloading development server with
webpack-dev-server.  Visit [localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000/) to
see the result when the output shows a line like this:

```
ℹ 「wdm」: Compiled successfully.
```

#### Purescript IDE integration

A `purs ide` connection will be available on port 9002 while the
development server is running.

A guide to getting set up with the IDE integration is beyond the scope
of this document.

#### Source maps

Currently broken. Someone please fix them.

### Getting a purescript repl

```shell
yarn repl
```

144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151
### Compiling styles

We use the `sass` compiler for some of the style files. To convert them to CSS do:

```shell
yarn sass
```

152
### Building for production

153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163

```shell
yarn build
```

It is *not* necessary to `yarn compile` before running `yarn build`.

You can then serve the `dist` directory with your favourite webserver.

Examples:

164
* `python3 -m http.server --directory dist` (requires Python 3.7+)

<!-- To get a live-reloading development server -->

<!-- ```shell -->
<!-- yarn live -->
<!-- ``` -->

172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189
Note that a production build takes a little while.

### How do I?

#### Change which backend to connect to?

Edit `Config.purs`. Find the function `endConfig'` just after the
imports and edit `back`. The definitions are not far below, just after
the definitions of the various `front` options.

Example (using `demo.gargantext.org` as backend):

```
endConfig' :: ApiVersion -> EndConfig
endConfig' v = { front : frontRelative
               , back  : backDemo v  }
```

### How do I?

#### Add a javascript dependency?

Add it to `package.json`, under `dependencies` if it is needed at
runtime or `devDependencies` if it is not.

#### Add a purescript dependency?

Add it to `psc-package.json` without the `purescript-` prefix.

If is not in the package set, you will need to read the next section.

#### Add a custom or override package to the local package set?

You need to add an entry to the relevant map in
`packages.dhall`. There are comments in the file explaining how it
works. It's written in dhall, so you can use comments and such.

213 214 215 216 217 218
You will then need to rebuild the package set:

```shell
yarn rebuild-set
```

219 220 221
#### Upgrade the base package set local is based on to latest?

```shell
222
yarn rebase-set && yarn rebuild-set
223 224
```

## Theory Introduction
228 229

Making sense of out text isn't actually that hard, but it does require
230
a little background knowledge to understand.
231 232 233 234 235 236 237 238 239 240 241 242 243 244 245 246 247 248 249 250 251 252 253 254 255 256 257

### N-grams

N-grams are at the heart of how Gargantext makes sense out of text.

There are two common meanings in the literature for n-gram:
- a sequence of `n` characters
- a sequence of `n` words

Gargantext is focused on words. Here are some example word n-grams;

- `coffee` (unigram or 1-gram)
- `need coffee` (bigram or 2-gram)
- `one coffee please` (trigram or 3-gram)
- `here is your coffee` (4-gram)
- `i need some more coffee` (5-gram)

N-grams are matched case insensitively and across whole words. Examples:

| Text         | N-gram       | Matches              |
|--------------|--------------|----------------------|
| `Coffee cup` | `coffee`     | YES                  |
| `Coffee cup` | `off`        | NO, not a whole word |
| `Coffee cup` | `coffee cup` | YES                  |

You may read more about n-grams [on wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-gram).

Gargantext allows you to define n-grams interactively in your browser
and explore the relationships they uncover across a corpus of text.

Various metrics can be applied to n-grams, the most common of which is
the number of times an n-gram appears in a document.

## Glossary

document
: One or more texts comprising a single logical document
field
: A portion of a document, e.g. `title`, `abstract`, `body`
corpus
: A collection of documents
n-gram/ngram
: A word or words to be indexed, consisting of `n` words.
  This technically includes skip-grams, but in the general case
  the words will be contiguous.
unigram/1-gram
: A one-word n-gram, e.g. `cow`, `coffee`
bigram/2-gram
: A two-word n-gram, e.g. `coffee cup`
282
trigram/3-gram
283 284 285 286 287 288 289 290
: A three-word n-gram, e.g. `coffee cup holder`
<!-- skip-grams are not yet supported -->
<!-- skip-gram -->
<!-- : An n-gram where the words are not all adjacent -->
<!-- k-skip-n-gram -->
<!-- : An n-gram where the words are at most distance k from each other -->
