Python - Chunks and Chinks

Il chunking è il processo di raggruppamento di parole simili in base alla natura della parola. Nell'esempio seguente definiamo una grammatica in base alla quale deve essere generato il blocco. La grammatica suggerisce la sequenza delle frasi come nomi e aggettivi ecc. Che verranno seguite durante la creazione dei blocchi. Di seguito è mostrato l'output pittorico dei blocchi.

import nltk
sentence = [("The", "DT"), ("small", "JJ"), ("red", "JJ"),("flower", "NN"), 
("flew", "VBD"), ("through", "IN"),  ("the", "DT"), ("window", "NN")]
grammar = "NP: {
      
       ?
       
* }" cp = nltk.RegexpParser(grammar) result = cp.parse(sentence) print(result) result.draw()

When we run the above program we get the following output −

Changing the grammar, we get a different output as shown below.

import nltk
sentence = [("The", "DT"), ("small", "JJ"), ("red", "JJ"),("flower", "NN"),
 ("flew", "VBD"), ("through", "IN"),  ("the", "DT"), ("window", "NN")]
grammar = "NP: {
      
? * }" chunkprofile = nltk.RegexpParser(grammar) result = chunkprofile.parse(sentence) print(result) result.draw()

When we run the above program we get the following output −

Chinking

Chinking is the process of removing a sequence of tokens from a chunk. If the sequence of tokens appears in the middle of the chunk, these tokens are removed, leaving two chunks where they were already present.

import nltk
sentence = [("The", "DT"), ("small", "JJ"), ("red", "JJ"),("flower", "NN"), ("flew", "VBD"), ("through", "IN"),  ("the", "DT"), ("window", "NN")]
grammar = r"""
  NP:
    {<.*>+}         # Chunk everything
    }
      
       +{      # Chink sequences of JJ and NN
  """
chunkprofile = nltk.RegexpParser(grammar)
result = chunkprofile.parse(sentence) 
print(result)
result.draw()

      

When we run the above program, we get the following output −

As you can see the parts meeting the criteria in grammar are left out from the Noun phrases as separate chunks. This process of extracting text not in the required chunk is called chinking.
