#Indic NLP Library

The goal of the Indic NLP Library is to build Python based libraries for common text processing and Natural Language Processing in Indian languages. Indian languages share a lot of similarity in terms of script, phonology, language syntax, etc. and this library is an attempt to provide a general solution to very commonly required toolsets for Indian language text.

The library provides the following functionalities:

• Text Normalization
• Script Information
• Tokenization
• Word Segmentation
• Script Conversion
• Romanization
• Indicization
• Transliteration
• Translation

The data resources required by the Indic NLP Library are hosted in a different repository. These resources are required for some modules. You can download from the Indic NLP Resources project.

• Python 2.7+
• Morfessor 2.0 Python Library
• Indic NLP Resources

• Add the project to the Python Path:

  export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<project base directory>/src

• Export the path to the Indic NLP Resources directory

  export INDIC_RESOURCES_PATH=<path to Indic NLP resources>

• Python API: Check this IPython Notebook for examples
• Commandline Interface: The commandline interface is documented on the project website
