cleanNLP: A Tidy Data Model for Natural Language Processing

Description

Provides a set of fast tools for converting a textual corpus into a set of normalized tables. Multiple NLP backends can be used, with the output standardized into a normalized format. Options include stringi (very fast, but only provides tokenization), udpipe (fast, many languages, includes part of speech tags and dependencies), and spacy (python backend; includes named entity recognition).

Details

Once the package is set up, run one of cnlp_init_stringi, cnlp_init_spacy, or cnlp_init_udpipe to load the desired NLP backend. After this function is done running, use cnlp_annotate to run the annotation engine over a corpus of text. The package vignettes provide more detailed set-up information.
