NLP tasks available through Web64's NLP Server: - [Language detection](#language-detection) - [Article Extraction from HTML or URL](#article--metadata-extraction) - [Entity Extraction](#entitiy-extraction--sentiment-analysis-polyglot) (NER) - Multilingual - [Sentiment Analysis](#sentiment-analysis) - Multilingual - [Embeddings / Neighbouring words](#neighbouring-words-embeddings) - Multilingual - [Summarization](#summarization) NLP Tasks Available through Stanford's CoreNLP Server: - [Entity Extraction (NER)](#corenlp---entity-extraction-ner) NLP Tasks Available through Microsoft Labs API: - [Concept Graph](#concept-graph) ### Laravel Package [](#laravel-package) There is also a Laravel wrapper for this library available here: Installation ------------ [](#installation) ``` composer require web64/php-nlp-client ``` NLP Server ---------- [](#nlp-server) Most NLP features in this package requires a running instance of the NLP Server, which is a simple python flask app providing web service api access to common python NLP libraries. Installation instrcuctions: Entity Extraction - Named Entity Recognition (NER) -------------------------------------------------- [](#entity-extraction---named-entity-recognition-ner) This library provides access to three different methods for entity extraction. ProviderLanguage SupportProgramming Lang.API Access[Polyglot](https://polyglot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)40 languagesPythonNLP Server[Spacy](https://spacy.io/)7 languagesPythonNLP Server[CoreNLP](https://stanfordnlp.github.io/CoreNLP/download.html)6 languagesJavaCoreNLP Standalone serverIf you are dealing with text in English or one of the major European language you will get the best results with CoreNLP or Spacy. The quality of extracted entities with Polyglot is not great, but for many languages it is the only available option at the moment. Polyglot and Spacy NER is accessible thorough the NLP Server, CoreNLP requires its own standalone java server. Usage ----- [](#usage) ### Language detection: [](#language-detection) ``` $nlp = new \Web64\Nlp\NlpClient('http://localhost:6400/'); $detected_lang = $nlp->language( "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" ); // 'en' ``` ### Article & Metadata Extraction [](#article--metadata-extraction) ``` // From URL $nlp = new \Web64\Nlp\NlpClient('http://localhost:6400/'); $newspaper = $nlp->newspaper('https://github.com/web64/nlpserver'); // or from HTML $html = file_get_contents( 'https://github.com/web64/nlpserver' ); $newspaper = $nlp->newspaper_html( $html ); Array ( [article_html] => NLP Server ....

To use another language, ensure the Spacy language model is downloaded and add the language as the second parameter ``` $entities = $nlp->spacy_entities( $spanish_text, 'es' ); ``` ### Sentiment Analysis [](#sentiment-analysis) ``` $sentiment = $nlp->sentiment( "This is the worst product ever" ); // -1 $sentiment = $nlp->sentiment( "This is great! " ); // 1 // specify language in second parameter for non-english $sentiment = $nlp->sentiment( $french_text, 'fr' ); ``` ### Neighbouring words (Embeddings) [](#neighbouring-words-embeddings) ``` $nlp = new \Web64\Nlp\NlpClient('http://localhost:6400/'); $neighbours = $nlp->neighbours('obama', 'en'); /* Array ( [0] => Bush [1] => Reagan [2] => Clinton [3] => Ahmadinejad [4] => Nixon [5] => Karzai [6] => McCain [7] => Biden [8] => Huckabee [9] => Lula ) */ ``` ### Summarization [](#summarization) Extract short summary from a long text ``` $summary = $nlp->summarize( $long_text ); ``` ### Readability [](#readability) Article Extraction using python port of Readability.js ``` $nlp = new \Web64\Nlp\NlpClient( 'http://localhost:6400/' ); // From URL: $article = $nlp->readability('https://github.com/web64/nlpserver'); // From HTML: $html = file_get_contents( 'https://github.com/web64/nlpserver' ); $article = $nlp->readability_html( $html ); /* Array ( [article_html] => NLP ServerPython 3 Flask web service for easy access to multilingual NLP tasks ...
