Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

nlp

Natural Language Processing (NLP) written in TypeScript for both server and browser environments. Lightweight and ultra-fast.

Introduction

The goal of this package is to provide a lightweight and super-fast solution for natural language processing tasks.

It aims to be the go-to choice for developers seeking a powerful yet easy-to-use NLP solution in TypeScript. Whether working on the server-side or in the browser, this is optimized for performance and simplicity.

This package was inspired in the good but old apparatus package.

Key Features:

Naive Bayes Classifier (BayesClassifier class)

  • A simple and effective classifier based on Bayes' theorem, ideal for text classification tasks.
  • Supports serialization to JSON for easy model saving and sharing.
  • Includes a compiled version where the corpus is stripped from the serialization output, reducing the model size for distribution when used solely for text classification (i.e., no further training).

RegexpTokenizer

  • A versatile tokenizer with current support for English and Portuguese. This tool efficiently splits text into meaningful tokens using regular expressions.

Normalizer

  • This feature allows for text normalization, accepting a stemmer and a list of stopwords. It integrates seamlessly with the natural npm package for stemming and the stopword npm package for managing stopword lists.

Installation

npm i @moveyourdigital/nlp

Basic Usage

This is a minimal usage of the Naive Bayes classifier using sentences.

import { BayesClassifier, Tokenizer, WordsEnTokenizer } from '@moveyourdigital/nlp'

const tokenizer = new WordsEnTokenizer()
// or WordsPtTokenizer

const classifier = new BayesClassifier<string, string>()
  .set('smoothing', 0.1)
  .addDocument({
    observation: tokenizer.tokenize(
      'you are a beautiful person'
    ),
    label: 'good',
  })
  .addDocument({
    observation: tokenizer.tokenize(
      'he is an evil person'
    ),
    label: 'bad',
  })
  .train()

const classification = classifier.classify(
  tokenizer.tokenize('i am a beautiful person')
)

Classification should output

[
  { label: 'good', score: 4.6305 }, // ordered by highiest score
  { label: 'bad', score: 1.2705000000000002 }
]

Serialize / Deserialize

The classifier supports flexible serialization and deserialization, making it easy to save, share, and deploy trained models.

Standard Serialization

One can serialize the classifier to a JSON string, enabling to store or transfer the model. This is especially useful for deploying models to different environments or saving the state of a model for future use.

const jsonString = classifier.toJSON();
// Standard JSON string representation of the model

Compact Serialization

For scenarios where the model is only needed for text classification (i.e., no further training is required), you can use the compact serialization option. This removes the corpus from the serialization output, significantly reducing the model's size for efficient distribution.

const jsonString = classifier.toJSON({ compact: true });
// JSON string representation of the model for distribution

Deserialization

To restore the model for further training or usage, deserialize the JSON string back into the classifier. If you intend to continue training the model, do not use the compact flag during serialization.

classifier.restore(jsonString); // Accepts both stringified or already parsed JSON

This flexible serialization and deserialization process ensures that NLP models can be managed efficiently, whether a lightweight distribution is needed or the full model for ongoing development.

Roadmap for further development

  • Porter stemming
  • Lemmatization
  • TF-IDF (using BM25 extension)
  • Support for new languages (help appreciated)
