I ran into Henry Lieberman (MIT) at AAAI15 conference on Artificial Intelligence/Robotics/CognitiveScience (AI/Robotics/CogSci). Below you can find some code to manipulate MIT ConceptNet5 with application to O*NET the Department of Labors database of occupations (nearly 1000) broken down into tasks and many other useful items. Just download the data sets – takes 10-15 minutes, and …
