NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit) is a powerful library for Natural Language Processing (NLP) in Python. It provides easy-to-use interfaces to over 50 corpora, 200+ trained models, and a variety of text processing tasks like tokenization, stemming, lemmatization, and sentiment analysis.

🧰 Key Features

  • Pre-built Corpora: Access to datasets like the Brown Corpus, Reuters Corpus, and more.
  • Tokenization Tools: Split text into words, sentences, or subwords.
  • Machine Learning Models: Includes classifiers for tasks like part-of-speech tagging and named entity recognition.
  • Language Processing Utilities: Support for stemming (e.g., PorterStemmer), lemmatization, and semantic similarity.

🚀 Quick Start

  1. Install NLTK:
    pip install nltk
    
  2. Download Corpora:
    import nltk
    nltk.download('punkt')
    nltk.download('averaged_perceptron_tagger')
    
  3. Basic Usage:
    from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
    text = "NLTK is a leading platform for building Python programs."
    tokens = word_tokenize(text)
    print(tokens)
