Bully Boys
You have probably come across this term before in a shanty or poem. This is a synonym for Sailor, as is the case with Jack Tar. Here the term comes from the Colonial Navy (1775-85), where Sailors were given bully beef, actually beef jerky, as part of their daily ration. And that led to the name. But this also shows where the shanty or poem comes from, because it is not known in the Royal Navy, it is purely American.

One thing my English teacher always told us was that theirs no such thing as a true synonym, almost every word has its own unique tone and context. While the definition may be similar, the tone of the word could be completely different (minor and juvenile as a examples) while it may be hard to put these differences in words and dictionaries they still exist.
Abnormal tends to have a more clinical(and/or negative) meaning attached to it compared to uncommon which has been used as a umbrella term in some ways. “Red hair is uncommon, having for arms is abnormal” you see the difference there?
Sorry this is very nick picky but people acting like words having similar meanings/dictionary definitions means they are exactly the same and can be 100% always be switched with each other is one of my pet peeves as someone who wants to be a novelist one day. /info /npa
Yes! This is so true!
Words can be synonyms but never completely. Each has its own history and connotations.
I actually think that if true synonyms existed, we wouldn't need a thesaurus. So often, when people look up synonyms, it's because the word they thought of is close but not quite there.
People don't seek synonyms to find words with the exact same meanings and connotations, but to find words that are just subtly different in a way that better suits their purposes.

python iterative monte carlo search for text generation using nltk
You are playing a game and you want to win. But you don't know what move to make next, because you don't know what the other player will do. So, you decide to try different moves randomly and see what happens. You repeat this process again and again, each time learning from the result of the move you made. This is called iterative Monte Carlo search. It's like making random moves in a game and learning from the outcome each time until you find the best move to win.
Iterative Monte Carlo search is a technique used in AI to explore a large space of possible solutions to find the best ones. It can be applied to semantic synonym finding by randomly selecting synonyms, generating sentences, and analyzing their context to refine the selection.
# an iterative monte carlo search example using nltk # https://pythonprogrammingsnippets.tumblr.com import random from nltk.corpus import wordnet # Define a function to get the synonyms of a word using wordnet def get_synonyms(word): synonyms = [] for syn in wordnet.synsets(word): for l in syn.lemmas(): if '_' not in l.name(): synonyms.append(l.name()) return list(set(synonyms)) # Define a function to get a random variant of a word def get_random_variant(word): synonyms = get_synonyms(word) if len(synonyms) == 0: return word else: return random.choice(synonyms) # Define a function to get the score of a candidate sentence def get_score(candidate): return len(candidate) # Define a function to perform one iteration of the monte carlo search def monte_carlo_search(candidate): variants = [get_random_variant(word) for word in candidate.split()] max_candidate = ' '.join(variants) max_score = get_score(max_candidate) for i in range(100): variants = [get_random_variant(word) for word in candidate.split()] candidate = ' '.join(variants) score = get_score(candidate) if score > max_score: max_score = score max_candidate = candidate return max_candidate initial_candidate = "This is an example sentence." # Perform 10 iterations of the monte carlo search for i in range(10): initial_candidate = monte_carlo_search(initial_candidate) print(initial_candidate)
output:
This manufacture Associate_in_Nursing theoretical_account sentence. This fabricate Associate_in_Nursing theoretical_account sentence. This construct Associate_in_Nursing theoretical_account sentence. This cathode-ray_oscilloscope Associate_in_Nursing counteract sentence. This collapse Associate_in_Nursing computed_axial_tomography sentence. This waste_one's_time Associate_in_Nursing gossip sentence. This magnetic_inclination Associate_in_Nursing temptingness sentence. This magnetic_inclination Associate_in_Nursing conjure sentence. This magnetic_inclination Associate_in_Nursing controversy sentence. This inclination Associate_in_Nursing magnetic_inclination sentence.
