zemberek-python 0.2.3

Python port of open source text processing library for Turkish, zemberek-nlp

ZEMBEREK-PYTHON

Python implementation of Natural Language Processing library for Turkish, zemberek-nlp. It is based on zemberek 0.17.1 and is completely written in Python meaning there is no need to setup a Java development environment to run it.

Notes

There are some minor changes in codes where original contains some Java specific functionality and data structures. We used Python equivalents as much as we could but sometimes we needed to change them. And it affects the performance and accuracy a bit.

In MultiLevelMphf class, in the original Java implementation, there are some integer multiplication operations which I tried to reimplement using vanilla Python 'int', but the results were not the same. Then I tried it with numpy.int32 and numpy.float32, since default java int and float types are 4 byte. The results were the same with Java, however, oftenly these operations produced RuntimeWarning as the multiplication caused overflow. In Java there were no overflow warnings whatsoever. I could not find a reasonable explanation to this situation, nor I could find a better way to implement it. So I suppressed overflow warnings for MultiLevelMphf. Therefore, please be aware that, this is not a healthy behaviour, and you should be careful using this code.
