Machine Learning Lab has created a game that puts your regular expression skills to the test.
We first met Machine Learning Lab in Automatically Generating Regular Expressions with Genetic Programming, when we used its RegexGenerator++. Now we are back to explore how to have fun with it.
The game comprises of 12 levels of increasing difficulty, with each level containing a different block of text, which in turn contains the parts of the text that must be matched against a regular expression - which has to supplied by the user. Each attempt is timed and rated in a 'F-measure' scale that
measures how close the extractions and the matches were, with 100 points being awarded for the perfect result, 0 for a totally wrong one or for giving up.
Before the game begins you complete a simple questionnaire where you have to tick the boxes adjacent to the regular expression constructs you are familiar with.
