John Snow Labs NLU provides state of the art algorithms for NLP&NLU with hundreds of pretrained models in 60+ 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 hundreds of pretrained models in tens of languages - all production-grade, scalable, and trainable.

NLU in action

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

Loading and predict with any model in 1 line python

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

Loading and predict 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') 

What kind of models does NLU provide?
