"""
|
|
Twitter-aware tokenizer, designed to be flexible and easy to adapt to new
|
|
domains and tasks. The basic logic is this:
|
|
|
|
1. The tuple REGEXPS defines a list of regular expression
|
|
strings.
|
|
|
|
2. The REGEXPS strings are put, in order, into a compiled
|
|
regular expression object called WORD_RE, under the TweetTokenizer
|
|
class.
|
|
|
|
3. The tokenization is done by WORD_RE.findall(s), where s is the
|
|
user-supplied string, inside the tokenize() method of the class
|
|
TweetTokenizer.
|
|
|
|
4. When instantiating Tokenizer objects, there are several options:
|
|
* preserve_case. By default, it is set to True. If it is set to
|
|
False, then the tokenizer will downcase everything except for
|
|
emoticons.
|
|
* reduce_len. By default, it is set to False. It specifies whether
|
|
to replace repeated character sequences of length 3 or greater
|
|
with sequences of length 3.
|
|
* strip_handles. By default, it is set to False. It specifies
|
|
whether to remove Twitter handles of text used in the
|
|
`tokenize` method.
|
|
* match_phone_numbers. By default, it is set to True. It indicates
|
|
whether the `tokenize` method should look for phone numbers.
