mindspore.dataset.text
mindspore.dataset.text.transforms
The module text.transforms is inherited from _c_dataengine and is implemented based on ICU4C and cppjieba in C++. It’s a high performance module to process NLP text. Users can use Vocab to build their own dictionary, use appropriate tokenizers to split sentences into different tokens, and use Lookup to find the index of tokens in Vocab.
Note
A constructor’s arguments for every class in this module must be saved into the class attributes (self.xxx) to support save() and load().
Examples
>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>> import mindspore.dataset.text as text
>>>
>>> dataset_file = "path/to/text_file_path"
>>> # sentences as line data saved in a file
>>> dataset = ds.TextFileDataset(dataset_file, shuffle=False)
>>> # tokenize sentence to unicode characters
>>> tokenizer = text.UnicodeCharTokenizer()
>>> # load vocabulary form list
>>> vocab = text.Vocab.from_list(['深', '圳', '欢', '迎', '您'])
>>> # lookup is an operation for mapping tokens to ids
>>> lookup = text.Lookup(vocab)
>>> dataset = dataset.map(operations=[tokenizer, lookup])
>>> for i in dataset.create_dict_iterator():
>>> print(i)
>>> # if text line in dataset_file is:
>>> # 深圳欢迎您
>>> # then the output will be:
>>> # {'text': array([0, 1, 2, 3, 4], dtype=int32)}
