如何从句子中提取字符ngram？ - 蟒蛇

Question

以下word2ngrams函数从一个单词中提取字符3grams：

>>> x = 'foobar'
>>> n = 3
>>> [x[i:i+n] for i in range(len(x)-n+1)]
['foo', 'oob', 'oba', 'bar']

这篇文章展示了单个单词的字符ngram提取， 使用python快速实现字符n-gram 。

但是，如果我有句子并且我想提取字符ngrams， 除了迭代调用word2ngram()之外还有更快的方法吗？

实现相同word2ngram和sent2ngram输出的正则表达式版本是什么？ 会更快吗？

我试过了：

import string, random, time
from itertools import chain

def word2ngrams(text, n=3):
  """ Convert word into character ngrams. """
  return [text[i:i+n] for i in range(len(text)-n+1)]

def sent2ngrams(text, n=3):
    return list(chain(*[word2ngrams(i,n) for i in text.lower().split()]))

def sent2ngrams_simple(text, n=3):
    text = text.lower()
    return [text[i:i+n] for i in range(len(text)-n+1) if not " " in text[i:i+n]]

# Generate 10000 random strings of length 100.
sents = [" ".join([''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase) for j in range(10)) for i in range(100)]) for k in range(100)]

start = time.time()
x = [sent2ngrams(i) for i in sents]
print time.time() - start        

start = time.time()
y = [sent2ngrams_simple(i) for i in sents]
print time.time() - start        

print x==y

[OUT]：

True

正则表达式方法看起来很优雅，但它比迭代调用word2ngram()执行速度慢：

import string, random, time, re
from itertools import chain

def word2ngrams(text, n=3):
  """ Convert word into character ngrams. """
  return [text[i:i+n] for i in range(len(text)-n+1)]

def sent2ngrams(text, n=3):
    return list(chain(*[word2ngrams(i,n) for i in text.lower().split()]))

def sent2ngrams_simple(text, n=3):
    text = text.lower()
    return [text[i:i+n] for i in range(len(text)-n+1) if not " " in text[i:i+n]]

def sent2ngrams_regex(text, n=3):
    rgx = '(?=('+'\S'*n+'))'
    return re.findall(rgx,text)

# Generate 10000 random strings of length 100.
sents = [" ".join([''.join(random.choice(string.ascii_uppercase) for j in range(10)) for i in range(100)]) for k in range(100)]

start = time.time()
x = [sent2ngrams(i) for i in sents]
print time.time() - start        

start = time.time()
y = [sent2ngrams_simple(i) for i in sents]
print time.time() - start        

start = time.time()
z = [sent2ngrams_regex(i) for i in sents]
print time.time() - start  

print x==y==z

为什么不(?=(...))

编辑相同的东西，但不是空格(?=(\\S\\S\\S))
edit2你也可以使用你想要的东西。 防爆。 仅使用alphanum (?=([^\\W_]{3}))

使用前瞻捕获3个字符。 然后发动机每次撞击位置1次
比赛。 然后捕获下一个3。

foobar结果是
FOO
OOB
奥巴
酒吧

 # Compressed regex
 #  (?=(...))

 # Expanded regex
 (?=                   # Start Lookahead assertion
      (                     # Capture group 1 start
           .                     # dot - metachar, matches any character except newline
           .                     # dot - metachar
           .                     # dot - metachar
      )                     # Capture group 1 end
 )                     # End Lookahead assertion
