📦 Installation

pip install bidnlp

From source:

git clone https://github.com/aghabidareh/bidnlp.git
cd bidnlp
pip install -e .

🚀 Quick Start

Preprocessing

from bidnlp.preprocessing import PersianNormalizer, PersianTextCleaner

# Normalize text
normalizer = PersianNormalizer()
text = normalizer.normalize("كتاب يک")  # Converts: کتاب یک

# Clean text
cleaner = PersianTextCleaner(remove_urls=True, remove_emojis=True)
clean_text = cleaner.clean("سلام 😊 https://test.com")  # Output: سلام

Tokenization

from bidnlp.tokenization import PersianWordTokenizer, PersianSentenceTokenizer

# Word tokenization
tokenizer = PersianWordTokenizer()
words = tokenizer.tokenize("من به دانشگاه می‌روم")
# Output: ['من', 'به', 'دانشگاه', 'می', 'روم']

# Sentence tokenization
sent_tokenizer = PersianSentenceTokenizer()
sentences = sent_tokenizer.tokenize("سلام. چطوری؟")
# Output: ['سلام.', 'چطوری؟']

Sentiment Analysis

from bidnlp.classification import PersianSentimentAnalyzer

analyzer = PersianSentimentAnalyzer()

# Simple sentiment
sentiment = analyzer.predict("این کتاب خیلی خوب است")
# Output: 'positive'

# Detailed analysis
result = analyzer.analyze("محصول عالی اما گران است")
# Output: {'sentiment': 'neutral', 'score': 0.0,
#          'positive_words': ['عالی'], 'negative_words': ['گران']}

Text Classification

from bidnlp.classification import KeywordClassifier

classifier = KeywordClassifier()

# Add categories
classifier.add_category('ورزش', {'فوتبال', 'بازیکن', 'تیم'})
classifier.add_category('تکنولوژی', {'کامپیوتر', 'نرم‌افزار', 'برنامه'})

# Classify
category = classifier.predict("تیم فوتبال برد گرفت")
# Output: 'ورزش'

Text Statistics

from bidnlp.utils import PersianTextStatistics

stats = PersianTextStatistics()
text = "من به دانشگاه می‌روم. دانشگاه بزرگ است."

statistics = stats.get_statistics(text)
# Output: {
#   'words': 8, 'sentences': 2, 'characters': 35,
#   'average_word_length': 4.38, 'lexical_diversity': 0.875, ...
# }

Stop Words

from bidnlp.utils import PersianStopWords

stopwords = PersianStopWords()

# Remove stop words
text = "من از دانشگاه به خانه می روم"
filtered = stopwords.remove_stopwords(text)
# Output: "دانشگاه خانه می روم"

# Check if word is stop word
is_stop = stopwords.is_stopword('از')  # True

Feature Extraction

from bidnlp.classification import TfidfVectorizer, BagOfWords

# TF-IDF
tfidf = TfidfVectorizer(max_features=100)
vectors = tfidf.fit_transform(documents)

# Bag of Words
bow = BagOfWords(max_features=50)
vectors = bow.fit_transform(documents)
