Q for #NLProc and knowledge base fedi, asking for a student:
Seeking a data-to-text dataset w/ the following:
-data as DAGs or similar
-text only includes info found in the graph
-ideally not from Wikipedia (already used WebNLG)
Any leads?

Rhizome Function Anagram Random Generator
preprint | https://zenodo.org/records/21551292
doi | https://orcid.org/0009-0009-5144-3278
Herein are described principles and a scheme of random number generation styled as, pangrandomonium, or ‘pangrand’. Pangrand is a anagrammatic random number generator that uses rhizome functions as chaotic indexing and shuffling instructions to reorder and sum perfect pangrams. Brief descriptions are given for the principles of pangram summing and rhizome indexing functions, Source code of the random number generator is included herewith. The source code is attached to the PDF file.
Sections:
1. Pangrams (Holoalphabetic arrays) ;
2. Rhizome Functions ;
3. Rhizome Hardness Problems ;
4. Random Generator Methods ;
5. Errata ;
6. Source Code.

The Future of Open Knowledge Is in Your Hands
While institutions still prefer Open platforms over proprietary platforms, some are moving from open platforms to closed ones. This is slowly dismantling something that took decades of collective effort to build: a global, community-owned infrastructure for knowledge that belongs to every citizen of the world.
