TextAnalyticsLab (Text Analytics Toolkit for Python)

Current release: TextLab [v0.1.2]

TextAnalyticsLab - a collection of Text Analytics tools for Python.

Introduction

'TextAnalyticsLab' is a Python package providing a set of text analytics tools for data mining and machine learning projects and end-to-end text analytics application development. It is compatible with and interoperate with data analysis and manipulation library Pandas, natural language processing library nltk, Machine Lerning TookKit (pymltoolkit|mltk), and many other AI and machine learning platforms.

Installation

pip install TextAnalyticsLab

If the installation failed with dependancy issues, execute the above command with --no-dependencies

pip install TextAnalyticsLab --no-dependencies

Functions

• Text Similarity
• Text Mining and Information Extraction (in v0.2.0)
• Cleaning Text content (in v0.1.5)
• Web Scraping (in v0.1.5)
• Classification of Text Conent (in v0.2.0)

Usage

import textlab

Warning: Python Variable, Function or Class names

The Python interpreter has a number of built-in functions. It is possible to overwrite thier definitions when coding without any rasing a warning from the Python interpriter. (https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html) Therfore, AVOID THESE NAMES as your variable, function or class names.

If you accedently overwrite any of the built-in function (e.g. list), execute the following to bring built-in defition.

del(list)

## Text Analytics Example

### Text Similarity
```python
import textlab

str1 = 'Hello'
str2 = 'Hola'

dl_distance = textlab.damerau_levenshtein_distance(str1, str2, case_sensitive=True, normalized=False)
print('damerau_levenshtein_distance: ', dl_distance)

dl_distance_normalized = textlab.damerau_levenshtein_distance(str1, str2, case_sensitive=True, normalized=True)
print('damerau_levenshtein_distance (normalized): ', dl_distance_normalized)

substrings = textlab.get_substrings(string=str1, case_sensitive=True, min_length=2, max_length=np.inf)
print('substrings: ', substrings)

j_index = textlab.jaccard_index(str1, str2, method='substring', case_sensitive=True, min_length=1, max_length=np.inf) #method='words'
print('jaccard_index: ', round(j_index,3))

damerau_levenshtein_distance:  3
damerau_levenshtein_distance (normalized):  0.6
substrings:  ['He', 'll', 'Hel', 'el', 'llo', 'lo', 'ello', 'Hell', 'Hello', 'ell']
jaccard_index:  0.143

#Text from Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_address

An email address identifies an email box to which email messages are delivered. A wide variety of formats were used in early email systems, but only a single format is used today, following the standards developed for Internet mail systems since the 1980s. This article uses the term email address to refer to the addr-spec defined in RFC 5322, not to the address that is commonly used; the difference is that an address may contain a display name, a comment, or both.

Valid email addresses
simple@example.com
very.common@example.com
disposable.style.email.with+symbol@example.com
other.email-with-hyphen@example.com
fully-qualified-domain@example.com
user.name+tag+sorting@example.com (may go to user.name@example.com inbox depending on mail server)
x@example.com (one-letter local-part)
example-indeed@strange-example.com
admin@mailserver1 (local domain name with no TLD, although ICANN highly discourages dotless email addresses)
example@s.example (see the List of Internet top-level domains)
" "@example.org (space between the quotes)
"john..doe"@example.org (quoted double dot)
Invalid email addresses
Abc.example.com (no @ character)
A@b@c@example.com (only one @ is allowed outside quotation marks)
a"b(c)d,e:f;g<h>i[j\k]l@example.com (none of the special characters in this local-part are allowed outside quotation marks)
just"not"right@example.com (quoted strings must be dot separated or the only element making up the local-part)
this is"not\allowed@example.com (spaces, quotes, and backslashes may only exist when within quoted strings and preceded by a backslash)
this\ still\"not\\allowed@example.com (even if escaped (preceded by a backslash), spaces, quotes, and backslashes must still be contained by quotes)
