Any good ntlk alternatives for python?

8 points by michElGrand 12y ago

I recall reading here about a researcher who released an ntlk alternative for python. That was about a month ago, but I can't seem to find the name of the module now, do any of you guys remember it?

Add a ASK HN tag for better response

How about NodeBox Linguistics? https://www.nodebox.net/code/index.php/Linguistics https://www.nodebox.net/code/index.php/Linguistics It still bundles NLTK with a few other NLP libraries.

you are thinking of SpaCy. https://honnibal.github.io/spaCy/ https://honnibal.github.io/spaCy/

If you have any questions about SpaCy, let me know :) https://honnibal.github.io/spaCy/ https://honnibal.github.io/spaCy/ A few things are a bit disorganised at the moment. In particular, the documentation and the install stuff are rougher than I'd like, and I haven't gotten the license and payment process so smooth yet. That said, it's disorganised because the response has been very good. It seems certain I'll be able to keep working on this full time.

  that's the one. Thanks a lot. I will give it a test drive for some work I do at my company. If it's a good fit we'll be more than happy to pay for a commercial licence.

i wonder if you mean SpaCy, which was on HN a little less than two months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8942783 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8942783 i followed this thread and then installed SpaCy and ran the examples; really nice work in my opinion.
