Usage Intructions

For Participles:

print(fool.cut(text))
# ['一个', '傻子', '在', '北京']

For participle segmentations, specify a -b parameter to increase the number of lines segmented every run.

python -m fool [filename]

User-defined dictionary

The format of the dictionary is as follows: the higher the weight of a word, and the longer the word length is, the more likely the word is to appear. Word weight value should be greater than 1。

难受香菇 10
什么鬼 10
分词工具 10
北京 10
北京天安门 10

To load the dictionary:

import fool
fool.load_userdict(path)
text = ["我在北京天安门看你难受香菇", "我在北京晒太阳你在非洲看雪"]
print(fool.cut(text))
#[['我', '在', '北京', '天安门', '看', '你', '难受', '香菇'],
# ['我', '在', '北京', '晒太阳', '你', '在', '非洲', '看', '雪']]

To delete the dictionary

fool.delete_userdict();

POS tagging

import fool

text = ["一个傻子在北京"]
print(fool.pos_cut(text))
#[[('一个', 'm'), ('傻子', 'n'), ('在', 'p'), ('北京', 'ns')]]

Entity Recognition

import fool 

text = ["一个傻子在北京","你好啊"]
words, ners = fool.analysis(text)
print(ners)
#[[(5, 8, 'location', '北京')]]
