textacy: NLP, before and after spaCy¶
textacy is a Python library for performing a variety of natural language processing (NLP) tasks, built on the high-performance spaCy library. With the fundamentals — tokenization, part-of-speech tagging, dependency parsing, etc. — delegated to another library, textacy focuses primarily on the tasks that come before and follow after.
Features¶
Convenient entry points to working with one or many documents processed by spaCy, with functionality added via custom extensions and automatic language identification for applying the right spaCy pipeline
Variety of downloadable datasets with both text content and metadata, from Congressional speeches to historical literature to Reddit comments
Easy file I/O for streaming data to and from disk
Cleaning, normalization, and exploration of raw text — before processing
Flexible extraction of words, ngrams, noun chunks, entities, acronyms, key terms, and other elements of interest
Tokenization and vectorization of documents, with functionality for training, interpreting, and visualizing topic models
String, set, and document similarity comparison by a variety of metrics
Calculations for common text statistics, including Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level and multilingual Flesch Reading Ease
… and more!
