Practical overview
When it fits
Use it for introductory NLP coursework or exploratory Python exercises when the task fits its documented feature, classification, topic-modeling, clustering or corpus-analysis methods.
Who it is for
- Instructors preparing introductory computational linguistics or NLP exercises in Python.
- Learners practicing text feature extraction, classification and unsupervised analysis.
- Analysts exploring phrase patterns, clusters or similarities across text corpora.
Documented uses
- Extract style, sentiment, content-word and syntactic-construction features from text.
- Train shallow or MLP classifiers using text features and labels.
- Explore topics, word vectors, document clusters and linguistically close documents.
- Describe and compare corpora using word frequencies, phrase associations and similarity.
Requirements & limits
The public GitHub repository is licensed under GPL-3.0. The README documents installation with pip from the package name or directly from the repository.
- The library is explicitly framed for introductory courses and examples.
- The documented feature options include function-word n-grams, sentiment words, TF-IDF-weighted content words, PMI phrase finding and syntactic constructions.
- The repository provides both shallow classification and MLP examples, plus several unsupervised and corpus-comparison methods.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install and initialize text_analytics
Install the Python package and create a TextAnalytics instance.
Before you start
- A Python environment with pip.
Steps
Install the package with the command below, or install from the GitHub repository with the command below.
pip install textanalyticspip install git+https://github.com/jonathandunn/text_analytics.gitImport the class with
from text_analytics import TextAnalytics.Create an instance with
ai = TextAnalytics().Continue to the repository README for documented feature extraction, classification, and analysis examples.
Expected outcome
The package is installed and a TextAnalytics instance is initialized.
Guide limitations
- The installation and initialization instructions do not specify Python-version requirements or verify that installation succeeded.
- The documented analysis examples require inputs such as
df, labels, or files whose preparation is not described here.
