# A bot playing the Wikipedia game

This project uses **Python** to play the [WikiGame](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Game)

automatically.

## Strategies :

* **Random** : If the end page is not found, chooses a random link  

        _Unlikely to succeed_  

        

* **With NLP** : Chooses the word closest to the target in the page using similarity computed with spacy

    * **Max** : similarity is computed as the max similarity between words from the two strings  

        _Could get stuck in pages about Turkey (country) when trying to get to Bacon_

        

    * **Mean** : Similarity is computed as the average similarity between words from the two strings  

        _Better when facing the previous issue_

## Tools:

* `Request` to call the Wikipedia API

* `BeautifulSoup` to parse html

* `Spacy` to find similarities with NLP

## Choose a spacy ressource :

Download ressource (https://spacy.io/models/en) :  

* Small :  

`python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm`  

* Medium :  

`python -m spacy download en_core_web_md`  

* Large :  

`python -m spacy download en_core_web_lg`  

In spacyTools.py choose between `'sm'`, `'md'` and `'lg'` by editing the following line :  

`nlp = spacy.load('en_core_web_lg')`

## Run :

`python main.py`

## Example :
