Natural language processing augmentation library for deep neural networks

Project description

Build Status Codacy Badge Codecov Badge

nlpaug

This python library helps you with augmenting nlp for your machine learning projects. Visit this introduction to understand about Data Augmentation in NLP. Augmenter is the basic element of augmentation while Flow is a pipeline to orchestra multi augmenter together.

Installation

The library supports python 3.5+ in linux and window platform.

To install the library:

pip install nlpaug

or install the latest version (include BETA features) from github directly

pip install git+https://github.com/makcedward/nlpaug.git

Download word2vec or GloVe files if you use Word2VecAug, GloVeAug or FasttextAug:

Recent Changes

0.0.6 Jul 29, 2019:

0.0.5 Jul 2, 2019:

See changelog for more details.

Test

Word2vec, GloVe, Fasttext models are used in word insertion and substitution. Those model files are necessary in order to run test case. You have to add ".env" file in root directory and the content should be
    - MODEL_DIR={MODEL FILE PATH}
Folder structure of model should be
    -- root directory
        - glove.6B.50d.txt
        - GoogleNews-vectors-negative300.bin
        - wiki-news-300d-1M.vec
