Python uses Pattern to implement Machine translation: translating one language into another
Preparation work:
In order to use Python's Pattern library for Machine translation, the following preparations need to be made:
1. Install Python: Ensure that the Python environment has been installed on your computer. You can download and install from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/
2. Install the Pattern library: Pattern is a Python Web mining module, which can be used for machine learning and Natural language processing. You can use the following command to install the Pattern library:
pip install pattern
3. Download dataset: Before Machine translation, you need to prepare a dataset of the translation model. A dataset can be a parallel corpus containing corresponding sentences from two languages.
You can find some free datasets on the Opus website: http://opus.nlpl.eu/
Select the language pair you need and download the corresponding dataset.
Sample data:
To demonstrate an example of Machine translation, prepare the following sample data:
English sentence: I love Python
Corresponding French sentence: J'adore Python
The complete instance code is as follows:
python
from pattern.en import parse, tag
from pattern.fr import conjugate, lemma
#English Sentence
english_sentence = "I love Python."
#Parsing and Marking English Sentences
parsed_sentence = parse(english_sentence)
tagged_sentence = tag(parsed_sentence)
#Extracting verbs and nouns from English sentences
verbs = [word[0] for word in tagged_sentence if word[1].startswith("VB")]
nouns = [word[0] for word in tagged_sentence if word[1].startswith("NN")]
#Transforming basic forms of verbs and nouns
base_verbs = [conjugate(verb) for verb in verbs]
base_nouns = [lemma(noun) for noun in nouns]
#Constructing French Sentences
french_sentence = " ".join(base_verbs) + " " + " ".join(base_nouns)
print(french_sentence)
This example code uses the 'parse' function from the Pattern library to parse English sentences, and the 'tag' function to label the parsing results. Then, by processing the parsing results, the verbs and nouns in English sentences are extracted. Next, use the 'reconcile' function in the Pattern library to convert the basic form of verbs, and use the 'lemma' function to Lemmatisation of nouns. Finally, merge the converted results into French sentences and print them out.
Please note that this is only an example, and the actual Machine translation system is more complex. In order to better translate, it is necessary to establish a deep learning model and train it using a large number of parallel corpora. The example code here is only for demonstrating the basic use of the Pattern library.
