NAME

Text::Shirasu - Text::MeCab wrapped for natural language processing

SYNOPSIS

    use utf8;
    use feature ':5.10';
    use Text::Shirasu;
    my $ts = Text::Shirasu->new; # this parameter same as Text::MeCab
    my $normalize = $ts->normalize("昨日の晩御飯は「鮭のふりかけ」と「味噌汁」だけでした。");
    $ts->parse($normalize);

    for my $node (@{ $ts->nodes }) {
        say $node->surface;
    }

    say $ts->join_surface;

    my $filter = $ts->filter(type => [qw/名詞 助動詞/], 記号 => [qw/括弧開 括弧閉/]);
    say $filter->join_surface;

DESCRIPTION

Text::Shirasu is wrapped Text::MeCab. This module is easy to normalize text and filter part of speech.

METHODS

parse

This method wraps the parse method of Text::MeCab. The analysis result is saved as Text::Shirasu::Node instance in the Text::Shirasu instance. So, It will return Text::Shirasu instance.

    $ts->parse("このおにぎりは「母」が握ってくれたものです。");

normalize

It will normalize text using Lingua::JA::NormalizeText.

    $ts->normalize("あ━ ”(*)” を〰〰 ’+1’")
    $ts->normalize("テキスト〰〰", qw/nfkc, alnum_z2h/, \&your_create_routine)

It accepts a string as the first argument, and receives the Lingua::JA::NormalizeText options and subroutines after the second argument. If you do not specify a subroutine to be used in normalization, use the following Lingua::JA::NormalizeText options and subroutines by default.

Please read the documentation of Lingua::JA::NormalizeText for details on how each Lingua::JA::NormalizeText option works.

Subroutines

normalize_hyphen normalize_symbols

filter

Please use after parse method execution. Filter the surface based on the features stored in the Text::Shirasu instance. Passing subtype to value with part of speech name as key allows you to more filter the string.

    $ts->filter(type => [qw/名詞/]);
    $ts->filter(type => [qw/名詞 記号/], 記号 => [qw/括弧開 括弧閉/]);

join_surface

Returns a string that combined the surfaces stored in the instance.

    $ts->join_surface

nodes

Return the array reference of the Text::Shirasu::Node instance.

    $ts->nodes

mecab

Return the Text::MeCab instance.

    $ts->mecab

SUBROUTINES

These subroutines perform the following substitution.

normalize_hyphen

    s/[˗֊‐‑‒–⁃⁻₋−]/-/g;
    s/[﹣-ー—―─━ー]/ー/g;
    s/[~∼∾〜〰~]//g;
    s/ー+/ー/g;

normalize_symbols

    tr/。、・「」/。、・「」/;
