Background
The Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK) provides a large collection of core NLP utilities (e.g. sentence splitting and tokenization, part of speech tagging, various approaches to parsing, and many more) in an integrated Python environment. The NLTK distribution also bundles a broad range of common, freely available data sets, which are made accessible through a uniform API. Albeit often neither quite state of the art nor blindingly efficient, NLTK is popular as a teaching environment and go-to repository of common ‘basic’ preprocessing tasks, e.g. sentence splitting, stop word removal, or lemmatization (for English, at least).
Usage on Abel
Available Versions
Installation on Abel
module purge module load python3/3.5.0
mkdir /projects/nlpl/software/nltk virtualenv /projects/nlpl/software/nltk/3.3
Next, we need to create a module definition, in this case /projects/nlpl/software/modulefiles/nlpl-nltk/3.3; make sure to establish the environment variable $NLTK_DATA, pointing to the data sub-directory of the NLTK tree, as established by the command-line data download below.
module load nlpl-nltk/3.3
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install --upgrade $(pip list | tail -n +3 | gawk '{print $1}')
Finally, install the NLTK code and all data packages.
pip install nltk python -m nltk.downloader -d /projects/nlpl/software/nltk/3.3/data all
