I played with Mecab (morphological analysis)!

Introduction

Since a scene using MeCab came out, I posted it as a memorandum

I tried to summarize from the installation method of MeCab to the output

The item description is as follows

• How to install MeCab
• I actually moved it
• About output format

What is MeCab (morphological analysis)?

MeCab [MeCab] 1 is an open source morphological analysis engine developed by the Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University. Can be used with perl, ruby, python, java, C #

Morphological analysis

Analysis that decomposes sentences into morphemes based on the grammar of the target language and the part-speech information of words Techniques used as pre-processing in the field of natural language processing *** Morpheme ** ... The smallest unit of meaningful expression element

For example "I'm studying programming using python." Is output as follows

How to install MeCab

1 Install mecab-64-0.996.2.exe from [here] 2

2 Execute mecab-64-0.996.2.exe and install MeCab with ** UTF-8 **

When the installation is completed, "Create a dictionary" will appear, so execute it as it is

3 Check with CMD whether MeCab can be used properly

• The cause of the garbled characters is that CMD does not support UTF-8 ... If you think you can do something, it's OK!
• EOS is an abbreviation for End of Sentence.

If MeCab doesn't respond in CMD, maybe the path isn't working? Add the installed \ Mecab \ bin to the environment variable Path.

4 Install mecab for python so that it can be used with python

pip install mecab-python-windows

5 Save libmecab.dll in the Mecab folder by overwriting it in the python folder.

The location of the folder is as follows

(File name to copy)：libmecab.dll
(Original)：C:\Program Files\MeCab\bin
(Copy to)：C:\Users\(USER name)\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages

If you search with cmd, you should find something similar.
(Original)：where mecab
(Copy to)：where python

I actually moved it

Morphological analysis in MeCab is as follows

1. Specify a dictionary for morphological analysis with MeCab.Tagger ()
2. Use tagger.parse to morphologically parse strings and text files using the specified dictionary

Very simple

I actually created a simple program that performs morphological analysis from a character string or text file

program

• String

mecab_string.py

import MeCab

CONTENT = "I'm studying programming using python."

tagger = MeCab.Tagger()
parse = tagger.parse(CONTENT)

print(parse)

• text file

Don't forget to get the following error if you don't specify the encoding when opening the file!

UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp932' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 4: illegal multibyte sequence

sample.txt

I'm studying programming using python.

mecab_read.py

import MeCab

FILE_NAME = "sample.txt"

with open(FILE_NAME, "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
    CONTENT = f.read()

tagger = MeCab.Tagger()
parse = tagger.parse(CONTENT)

print(parse)

Oh, I was able to output properly!

About output format

Earlier, MeCab.Tagger () wrote "a place to specify a dictionary for morphological analysis".

That means that there are multiple dictionaries, so I'll introduce some of them.

There is nothing to install newly, so it may be interesting to try changing the above program etc.

I tried to input all ** morphological analysis **

MeCab.Tagger() MeCab compatible morphological analysis Set to default

Morpheme noun,General,*,*,*,*,morpheme,Keitaiso,Keitaiso
Parsing noun,Change connection,*,*,*,*,analysis,Kaiseki,Kaiseki

There are many more, so if you are interested, please check out [Official] 1!

in conclusion

Morphological analysis is now possible using MeCab It is said that it will also be used for natural language processing with AI, so I want to master how to use it ... (˘ω˘)
