POS tags, Chunking and Chinking

NLPBasics.py

##POS tagging is labeling words in a sentence as nouns, adjectives, verbs...etc
import nltk
from nltk.corpus import state_union
from nltk.tokenize import PunktSentenceTokenizer

##PunktSentenceTokenizer a new sentence tokenizer
## This tokenizer is capable of unsupervised machine learning,
##so you can actually train it on any body of text that you use

##Creating training and testing data
train_text = state_union.raw("2005-GWBush.txt")
sample_text = state_union.raw("2006-GWBush.txt")

##train the Punkt tokenizer
custom_sent_tokenizer = PunktSentenceTokenizer(train_text)

tokenized = custom_sent_tokenizer.tokenize(sample_text)

def process_content():
    try:
        for i in tokenized:
            words = nltk.word_tokenize(i)
            tagged = nltk.pos_tag(words)
##            print(tagged)
##
##            Chunking is done to extract meaningful 
##            Chunking on Adverbs, Noun (Singular) and Proper Noun
            chunkGram = r"""Chunk: {<RB.?>*<VB.?>*<NNP>+<NN>?}"""
            chunkParser = nltk.RegexpParser(chunkGram)
            chunked = chunkParser.parse(tagged)
##            print(chunked)
##            chunked.draw()
##          "chunked" variable is an NLTK tree
##          Each "chunk" and "non chunk" is a "subtree" of the tree
##            for subtree in chunked.subtrees():
##                print(subtree)
##            Print the subtree with label Chunk that we assigned above
            for subtree in chunked.subtrees(filter=lambda t: t.label() == 'Chunk'):
                print(subtree)

        print(str(e))

##Chinking is a lot like chunking, it is basically a way for you to remove a
##chunk from a chunk.
##The chunk that you remove from your chunk is your chink.
##chunkGram = r"""Chunk: {<.*>+}
##                       }<VB.?|IN|DT|TO>+{"""
##This means we're removing from the chink one or more
##verbs, prepositions, determiners, or the word 'to'.
