Shitty bot is programmed to respond to anyone who uses the incorrect phrase "could of", but doesn't check to make sure the word "of" is followed by an empty space. (i.redd.it)

Damn, what's the regex for identifying a verb?

[–]SirBenet 104ポイント105ポイント  (22子コメント)

As the verbs will be past-perfect in this case, you could potentially list the most common irregular verbs then use the ed ending:

\b(arisen|awoken|backslidden|backslid|been|borne|beaten|become|begun|bent|beset|bet|bid|bound|bitten|bled|blown|broken|bred|brought|broadcast|built|burnt|burst|bought|cast|caught|chosen|clung|come|cost|crept|cut|dealt|dug|dived|done|drawn|dreamt|drunk|driven|eaten|fallen|fed|felt|fought|found|fit|fled|flung|flown|forbidden|forgotten|foregone|forgiven|forsaken|foretold|frozen|got|given|gone|ground|grown|hung|hanged|had|heard|hidden|hit|held|hurt|kept|knelt|known|gotten|laid|led|leant|leapt|learnt|left|lent|let|lain|lit|lost|made|meant|met|misspelt|mistaken|mowed|overcome|overdone|overtaken|overthrown|paid|plead|proven|put|quit|read|rid|ridden|rung|risen|run|sawn|said|seen|sought|sold|sent|set|sewn|shaken|shorn|shed|shone|shot|shown|shrunk|shut|sung|sunk|sat|slept|slain|slid|slung|slit|smelt|smitten|sown|spoken|spelt|spent|spilt|spun|spat|split|spoilt|spread|sprung|stood|stolen|stuck|stung|stunk|stridden|struck|striven|sworn|swept|swollen|swum|swung|taken|taught|torn|told|thought|thrived|thrown|thrust|trodden|understood|upheld|upset|woken|worn|woven|wept|won|wound|withdrawn|withheld|withstood|wrung|written|([a-z]+ed))\b

There'll still be false-positives, but it'll cut down on them.

Now build a regex that doesn't match when the past-perfect tense verb is also an adjective.

[–]marinuso 9ポイント10ポイント  (6子コメント)

You'd have to have the bot diagram the sentence to do this correctly, which is hard enough to do with proper grammatical sentences (i.e., this is something a university will spend years studying, not something your average Reddit bot writer is going to come up with at home in an afternoon), let alone with something like Reddit comments, which are going to be full of typos, abbreviations, colloquial forms etc.

    Consider words that are both verbs and nouns contextually. Cut. Run. Bolt. Record. Skate. Consider further that some sentences have multiple distinct parsings: http://cs.nyu.edu/faculty/davise/ai/ambiguity.html. Regex isn't the solution here.

      Check the comment I replied to. He properly used "could of" in a sentence. "Of" is a preposition, it will normally be followed by a noun or adjective. Could've/would've/should've are normally followed by a verb or adverb.

      [–]JuniorGenius 17ポイント18ポイント  (1子コメント)

      "would/could/should of" does not exist. What you're thinking of is "would/could/should've", a contraction of the word and have. Please do not use would of, could of, or should of.

            More than likely shadowbanned. You see it a lot in /r/requestabot. People make these sort of bots all the time, there is a template in a sticky there for them. They are also "against rediquette" and considered spam bots. You'll find a ridiculous number of posts there asking for some sort of "reply on keyword" bot that is usually just posting annoying shit. Plus there is botwatch which tracks bot accounts, and many subs use that list to ban them before they ever even post.

            So maybe he deleted the account, but reddit usually considers bots like that "spam" and just shadowbans them.

              [–]wOlfLisK 61ポイント62ポイント  (13子コメント)

              It's regex. That one basically searches for a phrase that starts in either w, c or sh, then has ould (So could, would or should) with an optional n't (Question mark means optional) with the ' being optional because of mispellings. Then it needs to have an of and then the \b just makes sure it doesn't match with things like offer.

              [–]pxan 4ポイント5ポイント  (11子コメント)

              Is \b any white space? Not familiar with that one.

              [–]lucasvb 39ポイント40ポイント  (9子コメント)

              \b means "word boundary". It means a character that's not a letter near a word, so it means it's the start or ending point of a word.

              For instance, "me? I don't mean anything" would have boundaries at "\bme\b? \bI\b \bdon't\b \bmean\b \banything\b"

              [–]TrampeTramp 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

              I'm curious, the way you explained it wouldn't there be a boundary after don in don't? Or does apostrophe count as a letter while a question mark does not?

              [–]lucasvb 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Good question. I think it will depend on the implementation and maybe the locale settings. You could and probably should explicitly include that character as a possible case.

              [–]SybariticLegerity 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Apostrophe counts as boundary in some implementations and not others. It arises from the problem where we use it as both an apostrophe and a single quote.

              [–]pxan 1ポイント2ポイント  (2子コメント)

              Actually I thought of a question: does \b have an advantage over \s in this context?

              [–]lucasvb 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

              Yes, because \s matches spaces, even though words can be preceded or followed by all sorts of stuff, like commas, periods, parenthesis, etc. Just read this comment again and notice how often words are not delimited by spaces.

              [–]LyonesGamer 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

              /\s(\w+)\s/g.match("I love my dog, Spot. Dogs are classified by breed; his is German Shephard. Every day, we take a walk to his favorite place: the park.") matches ["I", "love", "my", "Dogs", "are", "classified", "by", "his", "is", "German", "Every", "we", "take", "a", "walk", "to", "his", "favorite", "the"].

              /\b(\w+)\b/g will match every word.

              So, to relate it back, if they'd done /\s(c|sh|w)ould(n'?t)? of\s/, it would miss, for example, a comment like "Well, he could of, but it wouldn't work."

                    The Scunthorpe Problem:

                    The problem was named after an incident in 1996 in which AOL's profanity filter prevented residents of the town of Scunthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, from creating accounts with AOL, because the town's name contains the substring cunt.[1] Years later, Google's filters apparently made the same mistake, preventing residents from searching for local businesses that included Scunthorpe in their names.[2]

                    The same kind of problem coined the fake "word" 'Medireview':

                    Nefarious users were sending HTML attachments that, when clicked, might run scripts and cause bad things to happen — for example, they might gain access to passwords or data without a user’s permission or knowledge. To protect its users, Yahoo scanned through all HTML attachments and simply removed any references to “problematic” terms frequently used in cross-site scripting. [...] This caused problems because, like in the Clbuttic error, Yahoo didn’t check for word boundaries. This mean that any word containing eval (for example) would be changed to review. The term evaluate was rendered reviewuate. The term medieval was rendered medireview.

                    I banned this bot on /r/panthers day one for misinterpreting the exact same thing. It also didn't check to see if it had posted in a thread before and would originally reply to quotes of itself.

                    it always cracks me up when grammar/spelling dweebs play grammar police.

                    you would think someone with such a hardon for english would understand that english is literally constantly evolving, and taking on new forms.

                    its not a business meeting. the point of communication is to get ideas across. 99.9% of people will understand what you mean if you say "shouldnt of". theres literally no reason to be a dick.

                    TL;DR: i remember caring about people on the internet's grammar...then i turned 13.

                    I only point grammatical errors out to people when they were made in an attempt to correct someone else's grammatical errors. That way I can feel both right and righteous.

                    I remeber the bots a few years back. Like the bot that went wild when someone wrote alot instead of a lot.

                    You know whoever made it thought they were doing their part in the world, correcting and perfecting grammar, one reply at a time.

                    Then the camera pans to a lonely neckbeard who's sole source of confidence is correcting grammar on Reddit.

                      Caused by coding practices stuck in Medireview times:

                      Coined accidentally by Yahoo! Mail in 2001, from medieval by automated string substitution of review for eval, a Javascript command short for evaluate

                      I always wanted to make a deliberately bad bot that corrected "than" to "then" and vice versa and just let it run wild and do it completely incorrectly and inappropriately

                      I've always wondered, do these people not do extensive testing before releasing their bot into the wild? It's a good way to get banned quickly.

                      [–]OneWhoGeneralises 19ポイント20ポイント  (2子コメント)

                      I suppose the minor counterpoint to this argument would be that writing test cases is a skill of its own to developers. It's easy to think of and test the valid cases of any given algorithm, but designing corner cases comes from analysing the broader scope of the algorithm and from assessing invalid input.

                      In any case, it's not hard to spin up a tiny subreddit and let loose your bot there only, just a matter of inviting random users to stress test it then. Getting the bot in front of a user group is integral to testing, after all who doesn't love seeing a bot fail and fall flat on its face?

                      [–]atomheartother 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

                      It could be fun to make a subreddit for people wanting to test their bots, creators could make threads like "My bot corrects incorrect use of "could of", can you break it?" and a bunch of people could try their hand at that. I know I'd post there.

                        First I looked at my post a few times, found some other errors, and then searched for "ould of" in WP Office and discovered I was not totally not badding at English.
