nexaloid 0.1.22

Chinese tokenizer runtime

nexaloid Python

Python bindings for the Nexaloid Chinese tokenizer.

The wheel bundles the native library and the default dictionary, so normal use does not need a separate dictionary file.

Install

pip install nexaloid

Usage

from nexaloid import Mode, Tokenizer

tokenizer = Tokenizer()

print([token.text for token in tokenizer.tokenize("南京市长江大桥")])
print([token.text for token in tokenizer.tokenize("中国科学院计算技术研究所", Mode.SEARCH)])

The default tokenizer uses the packaged data/dict/nexaloid.nxdict. Pass dict_path when you need a custom dictionary:

tokenizer = Tokenizer(dict_path="data/dict/nexaloid.tsv")

Jieba-style API

import nexaloid.compat_jieba as jieba

print(jieba.lcut("我爱北京天安门"))
print(jieba.lcut("小明硕士毕业", HMM=True))
print(list(jieba.cut_for_search("中国科学院计算技术研究所")))

HMM=True loads the bundled BMES HMM plugin and artifact to recover unknown words such as short names and domain terms.
