After launched CourseGraph which wrote by Python Flask, I met some nlp problems for English text processing and it’s time to find some Python NLP Open Solutions. And certainly NLTK is the first choice. Following is from Wikipedia:

The Natural Language Toolkit, or more commonly NLTK, is a suite of libraries and programs for symbolic and statistical natural language processing (NLP) for the Python programming language. NLTK includes graphical demonstrations and sample data. It is accompanied by a book that explains the underlying concepts behind the language processing tasks supported by the toolkit, plus a cookbook.

Following is the related slides I found from SlideShare:

NLTK: Natural Language Processing made easy

NLTK in 20 minutes

NLTK: the Good, the Bad, and the Awesome

Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK), Basics

Language Sleuthing HOWTO with NLTK

Nltk – Boston Text Analytics

Statistical Learning and Text Classification with NLTK and scikit-learn

I will write some NLTK notes here or on My Chines blog.
