Introduction

Hazm is a python library to perform natural language processing tasks on Persian text. It offers various features for analyzing, processing, and understanding Persian text. You can use Hazm to normalize text, tokenize sentences and words, lemmatize words, assign part-of-speech tags, identify dependency relations, create word and sentence embeddings, or read popular Persian corpora.

Features

• Normalization: Converts text to a standard form, such as removing diacritics, correcting spacing, etc.
• Tokenization: Splits text into sentences and words.
• Lemmatization: Reduces words to their base forms.
• POS tagging: Assigns a part of speech to each word.
• Dependency parsing: Identifies the syntactic relations between words.
• Embedding: Creates vector representations of words and sentences.
• Persian corpora reading: Easily read popular Persian corpora with ready-made scripts and minimal code.

Installation

To install the latest version of Hazm, run the following command in your terminal:

pip install hazm

Alternatively, you can install the latest update from GitHub (this version may be unstable and buggy):

pip install git+https://github.com/roshan-research/hazm.git

Usage

>>> from hazm import *

>>> normalizer = Normalizer()
>>> normalizer.normalize('اصلاح نويسه ها و استفاده از نیم‌فاصله پردازش را آسان مي كند')
'اصلاح نویسه‌ها و استفاده از نیم‌فاصله پردازش را آسان می‌کند'

>>> sent_tokenize('ما هم برای وصل کردن آمدیم! ولی برای پردازش، جدا بهتر نیست؟')
['ما هم برای وصل کردن آمدیم!', 'ولی برای پردازش، جدا بهتر نیست؟']
>>> word_tokenize('ولی برای پردازش، جدا بهتر نیست؟')
['ولی', 'برای', 'پردازش', '،', 'جدا', 'بهتر', 'نیست', '؟']

>>> stemmer = Stemmer()
>>> stemmer.stem('کتاب‌ها')
'کتاب'
>>> lemmatizer = Lemmatizer()
>>> lemmatizer.lemmatize('می‌روم')
'رفت#رو'

>>> tagger = POSTagger(model='pos_tagger.model')
>>> tagger.tag(word_tokenize('ما بسیار کتاب می‌خوانیم'))
[('ما', 'PRO'), ('بسیار', 'ADV'), ('کتاب', 'N'), ('می‌خوانیم', 'V')]

>>> spacy_posTagger = SpacyPOSTagger(model_path = 'MODELPATH')
>>> spacy_posTagger.tag(tokens = ['من', 'به', 'مدرسه', 'ایران', 'رفته_بودم', '.'])
[('من', 'PRON'), ('به', 'ADP'), ('مدرسه', 'NOUN,EZ'), ('ایران', 'NOUN'), ('رفته_بودم', 'VERB'), ('.', 'PUNCT')]

>>> posTagger = POSTagger(model = 'pos_tagger.model', universal_tag = False)
>>> posTagger.tag(tokens = ['من', 'به', 'مدرسه', 'ایران', 'رفته_بودم', '.'])
[('من', 'PRON'), ('به', 'ADP'), ('مدرسه', 'NOUN'), ('ایران', 'NOUN'), ('رفته_بودم', 'VERB'), ('.', 'PUNCT')] 

>>> chunker = Chunker(model='chunker.model')
>>> tagged = tagger.tag(word_tokenize('کتاب خواندن را دوست داریم'))
>>> tree2brackets(chunker.parse(tagged))
'[کتاب خواندن NP] [را POSTP] [دوست داریم VP]'

>>> spacy_chunker = SpacyChunker(model_path = 'model_path')
>>> tree = spacy_chunker.parse(sentence = [('نامه', 'NOUN,EZ'), ('ایشان', 'PRON'), ('را', 'ADP'), ('دریافت', 'NOUN'), ('داشتم', 'VERB'), ('.', 'PUNCT')])
>>> print(tree)
(S
  (NP نامه/NOUN,EZ ایشان/PRON)
  (POSTP را/ADP)
  (VP دریافت/NOUN داشتم/VERB)
  ./PUNCT)

>>> word_embedding = WordEmbedding(model_type = 'fasttext', model_path = 'word2vec.bin')
>>> word_embedding.doesnt_match(['سلام' ,'درود' ,'خداحافظ' ,'پنجره'])
'پنجره'
>>> word_embedding.doesnt_match(['ساعت' ,'پلنگ' ,'شیر'])
'ساعت'

>>> parser = DependencyParser(tagger=tagger, lemmatizer=lemmatizer)
>>> parser.parse(word_tokenize('زنگ‌ها برای که به صدا درمی‌آید؟'))
<DependencyGraph with 8 nodes>

>>> spacy_parser = SpacyDependencyParser(tagger=tagger, lemmatizer=lemmatizer)
>>> spacy_parser.parse_sents([word_tokenize('زنگ‌ها برای که به صدا درمی‌آید؟')])
