Python - Stemming Algorithms

在自然语言处理领域，我们遇到单词具有共同词根的情况。例如，三个单词“agreed”、“agreeing”和“agreeable”具有相同的单词词根“agree”。任何包含这些单词的搜索都应将这些单词视为其词根的相同单词。因此，将所有单词链接到其词根至关重要。NLTK 库具有执行此链接并提供显示词根的输出的方法。

nltk 中提供了三种最常用的词干提取算法。它们给出的结果略有不同。下面的示例显示了所有三种词干提取算法及其结果的用法。

import nltk
from nltk.stem.porter import PorterStemmer
from nltk.stem.lancaster import LancasterStemmer
from nltk.stem import SnowballStemmer

porter_stemmer = PorterStemmer()
lanca_stemmer = LancasterStemmer()
sb_stemmer = SnowballStemmer("english",)

word_data = "Aging head of famous crime family decides to transfer his position to one of his subalterns"
# First Word tokenization
nltk_tokens = nltk.word_tokenize(word_data)
#Next find the roots of the word
print '***PorterStemmer****\n'
for w_port in nltk_tokens:
   print "Actual: %s  || Stem: %s"  % (w_port,porter_stemmer.stem(w_port))

print '\n***LancasterStemmer****\n'
for w_lanca in nltk_tokens:
      print "Actual: %s  || Stem: %s"  % (w_lanca,lanca_stemmer.stem(w_lanca))
print '\n***SnowballStemmer****\n'

for w_snow in nltk_tokens:
      print "Actual: %s  || Stem: %s"  % (w_snow,sb_stemmer.stem(w_snow))

当我们运行以上程序时，我们得到了以下输出 −

***PorterStemmer****

Actual: Aging  || Stem: age
Actual: head  || Stem: head
Actual: of  || Stem: of
Actual: famous  || Stem: famou
Actual: crime  || Stem: crime
