Ve-scala

A Scala port of <a href="https://github.com/Kimtaro/ve">Ve</a> by Kim Ahlström. A linguistic framework for anyone. No degree required.

• Segments Japanese morphemes into "words" via <a href="https://github.com/atilika/kuromoji">Kuromoji</a>.
• Based on the <a href="https://github.com/Kimtaro/ve/tree/master/java">Java port</a> of <b><a href="https://github.com/shirakaba/">Jamie Birch</a></b>, original <a href="https://github.com/Kimtaro/ve">Ruby implementation</a> by <b><a href="https://github.com/Kimtaro/">Kim Ahlström</b></a>

Usage

First, add the following dependency:

libraryDependencies += "com.megafarad" % "ve-scala-core" % "0.2.1"

Then, pick a parser and use it.

For Japanese:

import com.megafarad.ve_scala.japanese.KuromojiIpadic

val sentence = "お寿司が食べたい。"
val parser = new KuromojiIpadic(sentence)

parser.words.foreach {
  word => println(word.word + " -> " + word.partOfSpeech)
}
/*
お -> Prefix
寿司 -> Noun
が -> Postposition
食べたい -> Verb
。 -> Symbol 
 */

For English:

import com.megafarad.ve_scala.english.StanfordNLPEn

val sentence = "I want to eat sushi."
val parser = new StanfordNLPEn(sentence)

parser.words.foreach {
  word => println(word.word + " -> " + word.partOfSpeech)
}

/*
I -> Pronoun
want -> Verb
to -> Preposition
eat -> Verb
sushi -> Noun
. -> Punctuation
 */
