pythainlp.tokenize
==================
The :mod:`pythainlp.tokenize` module contains a comprehensive set of functions and classes for tokenizing Thai text into various units, such as sentences, words, subwords, and more. This module is a fundamental component of the PyThaiNLP library, providing tools for natural language processing in the Thai language.
Modules
-------
.. autofunction:: sent_tokenize
:noindex:
Splits Thai text into sentences. This function identifies sentence boundaries, which is essential for text segmentation and analysis.
.. autofunction:: paragraph_tokenize
:noindex:
Segments text into paragraphs, which can be valuable for document-level analysis or summarization.
.. autofunction:: subword_tokenize
:noindex:
Tokenizes text into subwords, which can be helpful for various NLP tasks, including subword embeddings.
.. autofunction:: syllable_tokenize
:noindex:
Divides text into syllables, allowing you to work with individual Thai language phonetic units.
.. autofunction:: word_tokenize
:noindex:
Splits text into words. This function is a fundamental tool for Thai language text analysis.
.. autofunction:: word_detokenize
:noindex:
Reverses the tokenization process, reconstructing text from tokenized units. Useful for text generation tasks.
.. autoclass:: Tokenizer
:members:
The `Tokenizer` class is a versatile tool for customizing tokenization processes and managing tokenization models. It provides various methods and attributes to fine-tune tokenization according to your specific needs.
Tokenization Engines
--------------------
This module offers multiple tokenization engines designed for different levels of text analysis.
Sentence level
--------------
**crfcut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.crfcut
:members:
A tokenizer that operates at the sentence level using Conditional Random Fields (CRF). It is suitable for segmenting text into sentences accurately.
**thaisumcut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.thaisumcut
:members:
A sentence tokenizer based on a maximum entropy model. It's a great choice for sentence boundary detection in Thai text.
Word level
----------
**attacut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.attacut
:members:
A tokenizer designed for word-level segmentation. It provides accurate word boundary detection in Thai text.
**deepcut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.deepcut
:members:
Utilizes deep learning techniques for word segmentation, achieving high accuracy and performance.
**multi_cut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.multi_cut
:members:
An ensemble tokenizer that combines multiple tokenization strategies for improved word segmentation.
**nlpo3**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.nlpo3
:members:
A word tokenizer based on the NLPO3 model. It offers advanced word boundary detection and is suitable for various NLP tasks.
**longest**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.longest
:members:
A tokenizer that identifies word boundaries by selecting the longest possible words in a text.
**pyicu**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.pyicu
:members:
An ICU-based word tokenizer offering robust support for Thai text segmentation.
**nercut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.nercut
:members:
A tokenizer optimized for Named Entity Recognition (NER) tasks, ensuring accurate tokenization for entity recognition.
**sefr_cut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.sefr_cut
:members:
An advanced word tokenizer for segmenting Thai text, with a focus on precision.
**oskut**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.oskut
:members:
A tokenizer that uses a pre-trained model for word segmentation. It's a reliable choice for general-purpose text analysis.
**newmm (Default)**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.newmm
:members:
The default word tokenization engine that provides a balance between accuracy and efficiency for most use cases.
Subword level
-------------
**tcc**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.tcc
:members:
Tokenizes text into Thai Character Clusters (TCCs), a subword level representation.
**tcc+**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.tcc_p
:members:
A subword tokenizer that includes additional rules for more precise subword segmentation.
**etcc**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.etcc
:members:
Enhanced Thai Character Clusters (eTCC) tokenizer for subword-level analysis.
**han_solo**
.. automodule:: pythainlp.tokenize.han_solo
:members:
