Metrics based on syntactic matching
Syntactic matching can be done by performing the task of chunking. In NLTK, a module called nltk.chunk.api is provided that helps to identify chunks and returns a parse tree for a given chunk sequence.
The module called nltk.chunk.named_entity is used to identify a list of named entities and also to generate a parse structure. Consider the following code in NLTK based on syntactic matching:
>>> import nltk >>> from nltk.tree import Tree >>> print(Tree(1,[2,Tree(3,[4]),5])) (1 2 (3 4) 5) >>> ct=Tree('VP',[Tree('V',['gave']),Tree('NP',['her'])]) >>> sent=Tree('S',[Tree('NP',['I']),ct]) >>> print(sent) (S (NP I) (VP (V gave) (NP her))) >>> print(sent[1]) (VP (V gave) (NP her)) >>> print(sent[1,1]) (NP her) >>> t1=Tree.from ...Become an O’Reilly member and get unlimited access to this title plus top books and audiobooks from O’Reilly and nearly 200 top publishers, thousands of courses curated by job role, 150+ live events each month,
