# Master MDS
Use NLP techniques you learned so far (N-gram models, basic machine learning, no neural nets) to analyse texts or to build an application. Document
your approach.

## Focus:
- What is your overall idea?
- What kind of data will you use and where do you get the data?
- Your approach, which techniques will you use?
- Expected results.
## Open Questions:
- How to evaluate similarity?
- How to find structural patterns? (like phrases, setups, punchlines, or wordplay)
## Possible Hypothesis:
- Similar jokes share more common n-grams, phrases, or structural patterns.
- Basic features like word frequency, sentiment, length, or punctuation can predict joke ratings.
other ideas:
- The length of a joke (measured in words or characters) is inversely correlated with its average rating, as shortness may enhance comedic impact.
- Highly rated jokes follow certain structural patterns (e.g., setups, punchlines, or wordplay).
## Possible Tools / Techniques
- __Text Preprocessing:__ Tokenization, stopword removal, stemming/lemmatization.
- __Feature Extraction:__ Bag-of-Words, n-grams (bigram/trigram analysis), TF-IDF.
- __Similarity:__ Cosine similarity for finding similar jokes.
