JapaneseTokenizer 1.3.3

No project description provided

What’s this?

This is simple wrapper for Japanese Tokenizers(A.K.A Morphology Splitter)

This project aims to call Tokenizer and split into tokens as easy as possible.

And this project supports various Tokenization tools. You can compare results among them.

This project is available also in Github.

If you find any bugs, please report them to github issues. Or any pull requests are welcomed!

Requirements

• Python 2.7

• Python 3.5

Features

• You can get set of tokens from input sentence

• You can filter some tokens with your Part-of-Speech condition or stopwords

• You can add extension dictionary like mecab-neologd dictionary

• You can define your original dictionary. And this dictionary forces mecab to make it one token

Supported Tokenization tool

Mecab

Mecab is open source tokenizer system for various language(if you have dictionary for it)

See english documentation for detail

Juman

Juman is a tokenizer system developed by Kurohashi laboratory, Kyoto University, Japan.

Juman is strong for ambiguous writing style in Japanese, and is strong for new-comming words thanks to Web based huge dictionary.

And, Juman tells you semantic meaning of words.

Juman++

Juman++ is a tokenizer system developed by Kurohashi laboratory, Kyoto University, Japan.

Juman++ is succeeding system of Juman. It adopts RNN model for tokenization.

Juman++ is strong for ambigious writing style in Japanese, and is strong for new-comming words thanks to Web based huge dictionary.

And, Juman tells you semantic meaning of words.

Kytea

Kytea is tokenizer tool developped by Graham Neubig.

Kytea has a different algorithm from one of Mecab or Juman.

Setting up

Tokenizers auto-install

make install

mecab-neologd dictionary auto-install

make install_neologd

Tokenizers manual-install

MeCab

See here to install MeCab system.

Mecab Neologd dictionary

Mecab-neologd dictionary is a dictionary-extension based on ipadic-dictionary, which is basic dictionary of Mecab.

With, Mecab-neologd dictionary, you’re able to parse new-coming words make one token.

Here, new-coming words is such like, movie actor name or company name…..

See here and install mecab-neologd dictionary.

./configure
make
make install

Kytea has python wrapper thanks to michiaki ariga. Install Kytea-python wrapper

pip install kytea

install

[sudo] python setup.py install

Note

During install, you see warning message when it fails to install pyknp or kytea.

if you see these messages, try to re-install these packages manually.

Usage

Tokenization Example(For python3.x. To see exmaple code for Python2.x, plaese see here)

import JapaneseTokenizer
input_sentence = '10日放送の「中居正広のミになる図書館」（テレビ朝日系）で、SMAPの中居正広が、篠原信一の過去の勘違いを明かす一幕があった。'
# ipadic is well-maintained dictionary #
mecab_wrapper = JapaneseTokenizer.MecabWrapper(dictType='ipadic')
print(mecab_wrapper.tokenize(input_sentence).convert_list_object())

# neologd is automatically-generated dictionary from huge web-corpus #
mecab_neologd_wrapper = JapaneseTokenizer.MecabWrapper(dictType='neologd')
print(mecab_neologd_wrapper.tokenize(input_sentence).convert_list_object())

Filtering example

import JapaneseTokenizer
# with word filtering by stopword & part-of-speech condition #
print(mecab_wrapper.tokenize(input_sentence).filter(stopwords=['テレビ朝日'], pos_condition=[('名詞', '固有名詞')]).convert_list_object())

Part-of-speech structure

Mecab, Juman uses different system of Part-of-Speech(POS).

Keep in your mind when you use it.

You can check tables of Part-of-Speech(POS) here

CHANGES

0.6(2016-03-05)

• first release to Pypi

0.7(2016-03-06)

• Juman supports(only for python2.x)

• Kytea supports(only for python2.x)

0.8(2016-04-03)

• removed a bug when interface calls JUMAN

• fixed the version number of jctconv

0.9 (2016-04-05)

• Kytea supports also for Python3.x(Thanks to @chezou)

1.0 (2016-06-19)

• Juman supports also for Python3.x

1.2.5 (2016-12-28)

• It fixed bugs in Juman server mode in python3.x

• It supports Juman++

• It supports filter method with chain expression

1.2.6 (2017-01-12)

• It introduced a paramter on text normalization function

  • All \n strings are converted into 。. This is because \n string in input-text causes tokenization error especially with server-mode.

1.2.8 (2017-02-22)

• It has make file for installing tokenizers.

• It is tested with travis.

1.3.0 (2017-02-23)

• It introduced de-normalization function after tokenization process. (全角英数 -> 半角英数)

• For mecab-config, it detects path to mecab-config automatically

• It fixed a bug of initializing juman-object in python2

after 1.3.0

change logs are in github release.
