Konoha is a Python library for providing easy-to-use integrated interface of various Japanese tokenizers, which enables you to switch a tokenizer and boost your pre-processing.

Supported tokenizers

Also, konoha provides rule-based tokenizers (whitespace, character) and a rule-based sentence splitter.

Quick Start with Docker

Simply run followings on your computer:

docker run --rm -p 8000:8000 -t himkt/konoha  # from DockerHub

Or you can build image on your machine:

git clone https://github.com/himkt/konoha  # download konoha
cd konoha && docker-compose up --build  # build and launch container

Tokenization is done by posting a json object to localhost:8000/api/v1/tokenize. You can also batch tokenize by passing texts: ["๏ผ‘ใค็›ฎใฎๅ…ฅๅŠ›", "๏ผ’ใค็›ฎใฎๅ…ฅๅŠ›"] to localhost:8000/api/v1/batch_tokenize.

(API documentation is available on localhost:8000/redoc, you can check it using your web browser)

Send a request using curl on your terminal. Note that a path to an endpoint is changed in v4.6.4. Please check our release note (https://github.com/himkt/konoha/releases/tag/v4.6.4).

$ curl localhost:8000/api/v1/tokenize -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"tokenizer": "mecab", "text": "ใ“ใ‚Œใฏใƒšใƒณใงใ™"}'

{
  "tokens": [
    [
      {
        "surface": "ใ“ใ‚Œ",
        "part_of_speech": "ๅ่ฉž"
      },
      {
        "surface": "ใฏ",
        "part_of_speech": "ๅŠฉ่ฉž"
      },
      {
        "surface": "ใƒšใƒณ",
        "part_of_speech": "ๅ่ฉž"
      },
      {
        "surface": "ใงใ™",
        "part_of_speech": "ๅŠฉๅ‹•่ฉž"
      }
    ]
  ]
}

Installation

I recommend you to install konoha by pip install 'konoha[all]'.

  • Install konoha with a specific tokenizer: pip install 'konoha[(tokenizer_name)].
  • Install konoha with a specific tokenizer and remote file support: pip install 'konoha[(tokenizer_name),remote]'

If you want to install konoha with a tokenizer, please install konoha with a specific tokenizer (e.g. konoha[mecab], konoha[sudachi], ...etc) or install tokenizers individually.

Example

Word level tokenization

from konoha import WordTokenizer

sentence = '่‡ช็„ถ่จ€่ชžๅ‡ฆ็†ใ‚’ๅ‹‰ๅผทใ—ใฆใ„ใพใ™'

tokenizer = WordTokenizer('MeCab')
print(tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))
# => [่‡ช็„ถ, ่จ€่ชž, ๅ‡ฆ็†, ใ‚’, ๅ‹‰ๅผท, ใ—, ใฆ, ใ„, ใพใ™]

tokenizer = WordTokenizer('Sentencepiece', model_path="data/model.spm")
print(tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))
# => [โ–, ่‡ช็„ถ, ่จ€่ชž, ๅ‡ฆ็†, ใ‚’, ๅ‹‰ๅผท, ใ—, ใฆใ„ใพใ™]

For more detail, please see the example/ directory.

Remote files

Konoha supports dictionary and model on cloud storage (currently supports Amazon S3). It requires installing konoha with the remote option, see Installation.

# download user dictionary from S3
word_tokenizer = WordTokenizer("mecab", user_dictionary_path="s3://abc/xxx.dic")
print(word_tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))

# download system dictionary from S3
word_tokenizer = WordTokenizer("mecab", system_dictionary_path="s3://abc/yyy")
print(word_tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))

# download model file from S3
word_tokenizer = WordTokenizer("sentencepiece", model_path="s3://abc/zzz.model")
print(word_tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))

Sentence level tokenization

from konoha import SentenceTokenizer

sentence = "็งใฏ็Œซใ ใ€‚ๅๅ‰ใชใ‚“ใฆใ‚‚ใฎใฏใชใ„ใ€‚ใ ใŒ๏ผŒใ€Œใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ใ€‚ใใ‚Œใงๅๅˆ†ใ ใ‚ใ†ใ€ใ€‚"

tokenizer = SentenceTokenizer()
print(tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))
# => ['็งใฏ็Œซใ ใ€‚', 'ๅๅ‰ใชใ‚“ใฆใ‚‚ใฎใฏใชใ„ใ€‚', 'ใ ใŒ๏ผŒใ€Œใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ใ€‚ใใ‚Œใงๅๅˆ†ใ ใ‚ใ†ใ€ใ€‚']

You can change symbols for a sentence splitter and bracket expression.

  1. sentence splitter
sentence = "็งใฏ็Œซใ ใ€‚ๅๅ‰ใชใ‚“ใฆใ‚‚ใฎใฏใชใ„๏ผŽใ ใŒ๏ผŒใ€Œใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ใ€‚ใใ‚Œใงๅๅˆ†ใ ใ‚ใ†ใ€ใ€‚"

tokenizer = SentenceTokenizer(period="๏ผŽ")
print(tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))
# => ['็งใฏ็Œซใ ใ€‚ๅๅ‰ใชใ‚“ใฆใ‚‚ใฎใฏใชใ„๏ผŽ', 'ใ ใŒ๏ผŒใ€Œใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ใ€‚ใใ‚Œใงๅๅˆ†ใ ใ‚ใ†ใ€ใ€‚']
  1. bracket expression
sentence = "็งใฏ็Œซใ ใ€‚ๅๅ‰ใชใ‚“ใฆใ‚‚ใฎใฏใชใ„ใ€‚ใ ใŒ๏ผŒใ€Žใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ใ€‚ใใ‚Œใงๅๅˆ†ใ ใ‚ใ†ใ€ใ€‚"

tokenizer = SentenceTokenizer(
    patterns=SentenceTokenizer.PATTERNS + [re.compile(r"ใ€Ž.*?ใ€")],
)
print(tokenizer.tokenize(sentence))
# => ['็งใฏ็Œซใ ใ€‚', 'ๅๅ‰ใชใ‚“ใฆใ‚‚ใฎใฏใชใ„ใ€‚', 'ใ ใŒ๏ผŒใ€Žใ‹ใ‚ใ„ใ„ใ€‚ใใ‚Œใงๅๅˆ†ใ ใ‚ใ†ใ€ใ€‚']
