# cython: profile=True # cython: embedsignature=True '''Tokenize English text, using a scheme that differs from the Penn Treebank 3 scheme in several important respects: * Whitespace is added as tokens, except for single spaces. e.g., >>> [w.string for w in EN.tokenize(u'\\nHello \\tThere')] [u'\\n', u'Hello', u' ', u'\\t', u'There'] * Contractions are normalized, e.g. >>> [w.string for w in EN.tokenize(u"isn't ain't won't he's")] [u'is', u'not', u'are', u'not', u'will', u'not', u'he', u"__s"] * Hyphenated words are split, with the hyphen preserved, e.g.: >>> [w.string for w in EN.tokenize(u'New York-based')] [u'New', u'York', u'-', u'based'] Other improvements: * Email addresses, URLs, European-formatted dates and other numeric entities not found in the PTB are tokenized correctly * Heuristic handling of word-final periods (PTB expects sentence boundary detection as a pre-process before tokenization.) Take care to ensure your training and run-time data is tokenized according to the same scheme. Tokenization problems are a major cause of poor performance for NLP tools. If you're using a pre-trained model, the :py:mod:`spacy.ptb3` module provides a fully Penn Treebank 3-compliant tokenizer.
