Agreed. I too had given a tutorial on this a while back (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKe4M4iSclc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKe4M4iSclc) and nltk is a quick way to prototype up something neat,but yes- if you need more than "toy" functionality, there are currently better tools for the job.
- bane 12y agoThanks for the talk, I enjoyed the video. Do you have any good pointers to building a named entity extractor with NLTK?
- acosmism 12y agoThank you, I'm glad you you enjoyed it - I hope to have one on more advanced topics at some point. If you are looking for a named entity extractor sample, I have a sample from my talk on github: https://github.com/shanbady/NLTK-Boston-Python-Meetup/blob/master/named_ent_chunker.py https://github.com/shanbady/NLTK-Boston-Python-Meetup/blob/m... The sample uses the built-in named entity tagger but nltk also has support for leveraging the Stanford named entity tagger: http://www.nltk.org/api/nltk.tag.html#module-nltk.tag.stanford http://www.nltk.org/api/nltk.tag.html#module-nltk.tag.stanfo...
- bane 12y agoThanks for the links. Please put me on the list for when a video of your second talk is out.
- ehurrell 12y agoSeconding the power of NLTK for prototyping, it's very easy to build something quickly to test an approach on your data, and at least in my experience, designed in such a way that I could easily replace elements with my own code.
