antonyms from wordnet

[coolbutuseless]

1. Use python to extract words and their antonyms from wordnet
   • see data-raw/generate-wordnet-antonyms.py
2. Process the wordnet list into an R data structure
   • see data-raw/create-r-antonyms-data.R
3. Included words_ant in the internal data for this package
4. Added ant() and ants()

Unfortunately, there aren't really a lot of words in this antonym dataset i.e.

• syn('good') has 667 results
• ant('good') has 2 results

However, if we first find the list of synonyms of 'good', and then find all the antonyms of everything in there, there are 268 antonyms i.e.

sort(unique(flatten_chr(ants(syn('good')))))

This isn't perfect - somehow 'good' is in this list of antonyms for 'good'!

So for now, I've just included the wordnet antonyms as-is.

I've included the wordnet list as it is output by python (data-raw/wordnet-antonyms-cleaned.txt), as it's probably unreasonable to expect anyone to regenerate this.

This is AWESOME!

Thanks, Mike! (@coolbutuseless) - this is cool AND useful! :)

I'm really happy with this, we can improve upon this in the future.
