mindspore.dataset.text.WhitespaceTokenizer

class mindspore.dataset.text.WhitespaceTokenizer(with_offsets=False)[source]

Tokenize a scalar tensor of UTF-8 string on ICU4C defined whitespaces, such as: ‘ ‘, ‘\t’, ‘\r’, ‘\n’.

Note

WhitespaceTokenizer is not supported on Windows platform yet.

Parameters: with_offsets (bool, optional) – Whether to output the start and end offsets of each token in the original string. Default: False .
Raises: TypeError – If with_offsets is not of type bool.

Supported Platforms:: CPU

Examples

>>> import mindspore.dataset as ds
>>> import mindspore.dataset.text as text
>>>
>>> text_file_list = ["/path/to/text_file_dataset_file"]
>>> text_file_dataset = ds.TextFileDataset(dataset_files=text_file_list)
>>>
>>> # 1) If with_offsets=False, default output one column {["text", dtype=str]}
>>> tokenizer_op = text.WhitespaceTokenizer(with_offsets=False)
>>> text_file_dataset = text_file_dataset.map(operations=tokenizer_op)
>>>
>>> # 2) If with_offsets=True, then output three columns {["token", dtype=str],
>>> #                                                   ["offsets_start", dtype=uint32],
>>> #                                                   ["offsets_limit", dtype=uint32]}
>>> tokenizer_op = text.WhitespaceTokenizer(with_offsets=True)
>>> text_file_dataset = text_file_dataset.map(operations=tokenizer_op, input_columns=["text"],
...                                           output_columns=["token", "offsets_start", "offsets_limit"])
