General info

Created as training project to practice Dash and process text without external natural language processing tools.

Part of this script is reused from text-processing-with-regex

Text source: Lectures on The Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech by Edward Sapir, 1921, www.gutenberg.org/Sapir | Lectures on the Science of Language by Max Müller, 1862, www.gutenberg.org/Muller

Actions

csv_generator.py: extracts ten most frequent words and ten longest sentences for each input text file, generates .csv files (words.csv, sentences.csv)

dash_visualization.py: gets .csv files and generates visualization with Dash

Illustrations

Exemplary interactive chart generated with script actions:

• Bubble chart of sentences with respect to their length and ranking

Technologies

• Python 3.7
• Dash 1.4.0

Setup

To run this project, install dash with pip:

pip install dash==1.4.0

Input data: Lectures on The Language: An Introduction to the Study of Speech by Edward Sapir, 1921 (Sapir1921_chapter1.txt), Lectures on the Science of Language by Max Müller, 1862 (Muller1861_lecture1.txt), stopwords list (stopwordlist.txt)

Status

Project is in progress. TODO:

• .csv files manipulation with pandas for Dash visualization
