Overview

botok tokenizes Tibetan text into words.

Basic usage

Getting started

Requires to have Python3 installed.

pip3 install botok
>>> from botok import Text

>>> # input is a multi-line input string
>>> in_str = """ལེ གས། བཀྲ་ཤིས་མཐའི་ ༆ ཤི་བཀྲ་ཤིས་  tr 
... བདེ་་ལེ གས། བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས་༡༢༣ཀཀ། 
... མཐའི་རྒྱ་མཚོར་གནས་པའི་ཉས་ཆུ་འཐུང་།། །།མཁའ།"""


### STEP1: instanciating Text

>>> # A. on a string
>>> t = Text(in_str)

>>> # B. on a file
... # note all following operations can be applied to files in this way.
>>> from pathlib import Path
>>> in_file = Path.cwd() / 'test.txt'

>>> # file content:
>>> in_file.read_text()
'བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས།།\n'

>>> t = Text(in_file)
>>> t.tokenize_chunks_plaintext

>>> # checking an output file has been written:
... # BOM is added by default so that notepad in Windows doesn't scramble the line breaks
>>> out_file = Path.cwd() / 'test_pybo.txt'
>>> out_file.read_text()
'\ufeffབཀྲ་ ཤིས་ བདེ་ ལེགས །།'

### STEP2: properties will perform actions on the input string:
### note: original spaces are replaced by underscores.

>>> # OUTPUT1: chunks are meaningful groups of chars from the input string.
... # see how punctuations, numerals, non-bo and syllables are all neatly grouped.
>>> t.tokenize_chunks_plaintext
'ལེ_གས །_ བཀྲ་ ཤིས་ མཐའི་ _༆_ ཤི་ བཀྲ་ ཤིས་__ tr_\n བདེ་་ ལེ_གས །_ བཀྲ་ ཤིས་ བདེ་ ལེགས་ ༡༢༣ ཀཀ །_\n མཐའི་ རྒྱ་ མཚོར་ གནས་ པའི་ ཉས་ ཆུ་ འཐུང་ །།_།། མཁའ །'

>>> # OUTPUT2: could as well be acheived by in_str.split(' ')
>>> t.tokenize_on_spaces
'ལེ གས། བཀྲ་ཤིས་མཐའི་ ༆ ཤི་བཀྲ་ཤིས་ tr བདེ་་ལེ གས། བཀྲ་ཤིས་བདེ་ལེགས་༡༢༣ཀཀ། མཐའི་རྒྱ་མཚོར་གནས་པའི་ཉས་ཆུ་འཐུང་།། །།མཁའ།'

>>> # OUTPUT3: segments in words.
... # see how བདེ་་ལེ_གས was still recognized as a single word, even with the space and the double tsek.
... # the affixed particles are separated from the hosting word: མཐ འི་ རྒྱ་མཚོ ར་ གནས་པ འི་ ཉ ས་
>>> t.tokenize_words_raw_text
Loading Trie... (2s.)
'ལེ_གས །_ བཀྲ་ཤིས་ མཐ འི་ _༆_ ཤི་ བཀྲ་ཤིས་_ tr_ བདེ་་ལེ_གས །_ བཀྲ་ཤིས་ བདེ་ལེགས་ ༡༢༣ ཀཀ །_ མཐ འི་ རྒྱ་མཚོ ར་ གནས་པ འི་ ཉ ས་ ཆུ་ འཐུང་ །།_།། མཁའ །'
>>> t.tokenize_words_raw_lines
'ལེ_གས །_ བཀྲ་ཤིས་ མཐ འི་ _༆_ ཤི་ བཀྲ་ཤིས་__ tr_\n བདེ་་ལེ_གས །_ བཀྲ་ཤིས་ བདེ་ལེགས་ ༡༢༣ ཀཀ །_\n མཐ འི་ རྒྱ་མཚོ ར་ གནས་པ འི་ ཉ ས་ ཆུ་ འཐུང་ །།_།། མཁའ །'

>>> # OUTPUT4: segments in words, then calculates the number of occurences of each word found
... # by default, it counts in_str's substrings in the output, which is why we have བདེ་་ལེ གས	1, བདེ་ལེགས་	1
... # this behaviour can easily be modified to take into account the words that pybo recognized instead (see advanced usage)
>>> print(t.list_word_types)
