Usage

Python

from opencc_jieba_pyo3 import OpenCC

text = "“春眠不觉晓，处处闻啼鸟。”"
opencc = OpenCC("s2t")
converted = opencc.convert(text, punctuation=True)
print(converted)  # 「春眠不覺曉，處處聞啼鳥。」

# Segmentation
words = opencc.jieba_cut(text, hmm=True)
print(words)  # ['春眠', '不觉', '晓', '，', '处处', '闻', '啼鸟', '。']

# Segmentation and join
joined = opencc.jieba_cut_and_join(text, delimiter="/")
print(joined)  # 春眠/不觉/晓/，/处处/闻/啼鸟/。

# Keyword extraction (TextRank)
keywords = opencc.jieba_keyword_extract_textrank(text, top_k=3)
print(keywords)  # ['春眠', '啼鸟', '处处']

# Keyword extraction (TF-IDF)
keywords_tfidf = opencc.jieba_keyword_extract_tfidf(text, top_k=3)
print(keywords_tfidf)  # ['春眠', '啼鸟', '处处']

# Keyword weights (TextRank)
kw_weights = opencc.jieba_keyword_weight_textrank(text, top_k=3)
print(kw_weights)  # [('春眠', 1.23), ('啼鸟', 0.98), ('处处', 0.75)]

# Keyword weights (TF-IDF)
kw_weights_tfidf = opencc.jieba_keyword_weight_tfidf(text, top_k=3)
print(kw_weights_tfidf)  # [('春眠', 2.34), ('啼鸟', 1.56), ('处处', 1.12)]
