Elegant tweet preprocessing
Project description
Preprocessor
Preprocessor is a preprocessing library for tweet data written in Python. It was written as part of my bachelor thesis in sentiment analysis. Later I extracted it to a library for broader usage.
When building Machine Learning systems based on tweet data, a preprocessing is required. This library makes it easy to clean, parse or tokenize the tweets.
Features
Currently supports cleaning, tokenizing and parsing:
URLs
Hashtags
Mentions
Reserved words (RT, FAV)
Emojis
Smileys
JSON and .txt file support
Preprocessor v0.6.0 supports Python 2.7 and 3.5+ on Linux, macOS and Windows. Tests run on following setups:
Linux Xenial with Python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 macOS 10.14 with Python 3.7.5, 3.8.0 Windows 10.0.17134 with Python 2.7, 3.5.4, 3.6.8
Usage
Basic cleaning:
>>> import preprocessor as p
>>> p.clean('Preprocessor is #awesome 👍 https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
'Preprocessor is'
Tokenizing:
>>> p.tokenize('Preprocessor is #awesome 👍 https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
'Preprocessor is $HASHTAG$ $EMOJI$ $URL$'
Parsing:
>>> parsed_tweet = p.parse('Preprocessor is #awesome https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
<preprocessor.parse.ParseResult instance at 0x10f430758>
>>> parsed_tweet.urls
[(25:58) => https://github.com/s/preprocessor]
>>> parsed_tweet.urls[0].start_index
25
>>> parsed_tweet.urls[0].match
'https://github.com/s/preprocessor'
>>> parsed_tweet.urls[0].end_index
58
Fully customizable:
>>> p.set_options(p.OPT.URL, p.OPT.EMOJI)
>>> p.clean('Preprocessor is #awesome 👍 https://github.com/s/preprocessor')
'Preprocessor is #awesome'
Preprocessor will go through all of the options by default unless you specify some options.
Processing files:
Preprocessor currently supports processing .json and .txt formats. Please see below examples for the correct input format.
Example JSON file
[
"Preprocessor now supports files. https://github.com/s/preprocessor",
"#preprocessing is a cruical part of @ML projects.",
"@RT @Twitter raw text data usually has lots of #residue. http://t.co/g00gl"
]
Example Text file
Preprocessor now supports files. https://github.com/s/preprocessor #preprocessing is a cruical part of @ML projects. @RT @Twitter raw text data usually has lots of #residue. http://t.co/g00gl
Preprocessing JSON file:
# JSON example
>>> input_file_name = "sample_json.json"
>>> p.clean_file(file_name, options=[p.OPT.URL, p.OPT.MENTION])
Saved the cleaned tweets to:/tests/artifacts/24052020_013451892752_vkeCMTwBEMmX_clean_file_sample.json
Preprocessing text file:
# Text file example
>>> input_file_name = "sample_txt.txt"
>>> p.clean_file(file_name, options=[p.OPT.URL, p.OPT.MENTION])
Saved the cleaned tweets to:/tests/artifacts/24052020_013451908865_TE9DWX1BjFws_clean_file_sample.txt
Available Options:
Option Name |
Option Short Code |
