nltk: word_tokenize 更改引号

Question

我正在使用 Python 的 nltk，我想标记一个包含引号的句子，但它会将 " 变成 `` 和 ''。

例如：

>>> from nltk import word_tokenize

>>> sentence = 'He said "hey Bill!"'
>>> word_tokenize(sentence)
['He', 'said', '``', 'hey', 'Bill', '!', "''"]

为什么不保留原句中的引号，如何解决？

谢谢

Answer 1

它实际上是要这样做的，而不是偶然的。来自 Penn Treebank Tokenization

double quotes (") are changed to doubled single forward- and backward- quotes (`` and '')

在以前的版本中没有这样做，但是去年更新了。换句话说，如果你想改变你需要编辑 treebank.py

Penn Treebank 标记化的 URL 不再可用。但它出现在 ftp://ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/treebank/public_html/tokenization.html

Copy-pasting这里的内容：

Treebank tokenization
    Our tokenization is fairly simple:
  
most punctuation is split from adjoining words

double quotes (") are changed to doubled single forward- and backward- quotes (`` and '')
verb contractions and the Anglo-Saxon genitive of nouns are split into their component morphemes, and each morpheme is tagged
separately.
Examples
     children's --> children 's
     parents' --> parents '
     won't --> wo n't
     gonna --> gon na
     I'm --> I 'm
This tokenization allows us to analyze each component separately, so (for example) "I" can be in the subject Noun Phrase while "'m" is the head of the main verb phrase.
There are some subtleties for hyphens vs. dashes, elipsis dots (...) and so on, but these often depend on the particular corpus or application of the tagged data.

In parsed corpora, bracket-like characters are converted to special 3-letter sequences, to avoid confusion with parse brackets. Some POS taggers, such as Adwait Ratnaparkhi's MXPOST, require this form for their input. In other words, these tokens in POS files: ( ) [ ] { } become, in parsed files: -LRB- -RRB- -RSB- -RSB- -LCB- -RCB- (The acronyms stand for (Left|Right) (Round|Square|Curly) Bracket.)

Here is a simple sed script that does a decent enough job on most corpora, once the corpus has been formatted into one-sentence-per-line.

# starting quotes
 (re.compile(r"^\""), r"``")

# ending quotes
(re.compile(r'"'), " '' ")
