John Snow Labs NLU provides state of the art algorithms for NLP&NLU with 20000+ of pretrained models in 200+ languages. It enables swift and simple development and research with its powerful Pythonic and Keras inspired API. It is powerd by John Snow Labs powerful Spark NLP library.

Project description

NLU: The Power of Spark NLP, the Simplicity of Python

John Snow Labs' NLU is a Python library for applying state-of-the-art text mining, directly on any dataframe, with a single line of code.

As a facade of the award-winning Spark NLP library, it comes with 1000+ of pretrained models in 100+, all production-grade, scalable, and trainable, with everything in 1 line of code.

NLU in Action

See how easy it is to use any of the thousands of models in 1 line of code, there are hundreds of tutorials and simple examples you can copy and paste into your projects to achieve State Of The Art easily.

NLU & Streamlit in Action

This 1 line let's you visualize and play with 1000+ SOTA NLU & NLP models in 200 languages

streamlit run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JohnSnowLabs/nlu/master/examples/streamlit/01_dashboard.py

NLU provides tight and simple integration into Streamlit, which enables building powerful webapps in just 1 line of code which showcase the.

Getting Started with NLU

To get your hands on the power of NLU, you just need to install it via pip and ensure Java 8 is installed and properly configured. Checkout Quickstart for more infos

pip install nlu pyspark==3.0.2

Loading and predicting with any model in 1 line python

import nlu 

nlu.load('sentiment').predict('I love NLU! <3') 

Loading and predicting with multiple models in 1 line

Get 6 different embeddings in 1 line and use them for downstream data science tasks!

nlu.load('bert elmo albert xlnet glove use').predict('I love NLU! <3')
