NLP, before and after spaCy

textacy: NLP, before and after spaCy

textacy is a Python library for performing a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, built on the high-performance spaCy library. With the fundamentals --- tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, etc. --- delegated to another library, textacy focuses primarily on the tasks that come before and follow after.

Features

• Convenient entry points to working with one or many documents processed by spaCy, with functionality added via custom extensions and automatic language identification for applying the right spaCy pipeline
• Variety of downloadable datasets with both text content and metadata, from Congressional speeches to historical literature to Reddit comments
• Easy file I/O for streaming data to and from disk
• Cleaning, normalization, and exploration of raw text — before processing
• Flexible extraction of words, ngrams, noun chunks, entities, acronyms, key terms, and other elements of interest
• Tokenization and vectorization of documents, with functionality for training, interpreting, and visualizing topic models
