NPL with NLTK/Python

  • Count number of words (word tokens) : len(text)
  • Count number of distinct words (word types) : len(set(text))
  • The diversity of a text can be found with : len(text) / len(set(text))
  • Dispersion plot : shows you usage of certain words in time (useful for quick overviews) (i.e. text.dispersion_plot(['of','the']))
  • Collocations : 2 words that are almost always together (i.e. red wine) text.collocations()
  • Join/split to create strings/lists from delimiters
  • All the words starting with B in text 5. Sorted and unique words only : sorted([w for w in set(text5) if w.startswith('b')])
  • Find exact occurrence of a word = text.index('word')
