自然语言14_Stemming words with NLTK

Stemming words with NLTK

The idea of stemming is a sort of normalizing method. Many
variations of words carry the same meaning, other than when tense is
involved.

The reason why we stem is to shorten the lookup, and normalize sentences.

Consider:

I was taking a ride in the car.
I was riding in the car.

This sentence means the same thing. in the car is the same. I was is
the same. the ing denotes a clear past-tense in both cases, so is it
truly necessary to differentiate between ride and riding, in the case of
just trying to figure out the meaning of what this past-tense activity
was?

No, not really.

This is just one minor example, but imagine every word in the English
language, every possible tense and affix you can put on a word. Having
individual dictionary entries per version would be highly redundant and
inefficient, especially since, once we convert to numbers, the "value"
is going to be identical.

One of the most popular stemming algorithms is the Porter stemmer, which has been around since 1979.

First, we're going to grab and define our stemmer:

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer
from nltk.tokenize import sent_tokenize, word_tokenize ps = PorterStemmer()

Now, let's choose some words with a similar stem, like:

example_words = ["python","pythoner","pythoning","pythoned","pythonly"]

Next, we can easily stem by doing something like:

for w in example_words:
print(ps.stem(w))

Our output:

python
python
python
python
pythonli

Now let's try stemming a typical sentence, rather than some words:

new_text = "It is important to by very pythonly while you are pythoning with python. All pythoners have pythoned poorly at least once."
words = word_tokenize(new_text)

for w in words:
print(ps.stem(w))

Now our result is:

It
is
import
to
by
veri
pythonli
while
you
are
python
with
python
.
All
python
have
python
poorli
at
least
onc
.

Next up, we're going to discuss something a bit more advanced from the NLTK module, Part of Speech tagging, where we can use the NLTK module to identify the parts of speech for each word in a sentence.
