Description
Over 80 practical recipes on natural language processing techniques using Python's NLTK 3.0
About This Book- Break text down into its component parts for spelling correction, feature extraction, and phrase transformation
- Learn how to do custom sentiment analysis and named entity recognition
- Work through the natural language processing concepts with simple and easy-to-follow programming recipes
This book will show you the essential techniques of text and language processing. Starting with tokenization, stemming, and the WordNet dictionary, you'll progress to part-of-speech tagging, phrase chunking, and named entity recognition. You'll learn how various text corpora are organized, as well as how to create your own custom corpus. Then, you'll move onto text classification with a focus on sentiment analysis. And because NLP can be computationally expensive on large bodies of text, you'll try a few methods for distributed text processing. Finally, you'll be introduced to a number of other small but complementary Python libraries for text analysis, cleaning, and parsing.
This cookbook provides simple, straightforward examples so you can quickly learn text processing with Python and NLTK.
