Review on NLTK by Kevin Bigelow

Best Tool for text processing and data mining purposes

I used this package in my research project at University level (Information Retrieval from large scale web datasets). it's really useful if you're looking into Text Processing or Natural Language Analysis tasks like Named Entity Recognition(NER), Sentiment analysis etc.. It has good set up parameters so easy use even non technical users can setup their own environment easily without any issues! nothing dislike about nltk but one thing i found when using its sentiment analyser was sometimes results were not correct due too many options available which made me confused! great toolkit overall, very helpful especially while doing your undergraduate studies where most projects are related towards Information retrieval & Data Mining applications!! we mainly worked upon named entity recognition task by applying some preprocessing steps first then running our models after classifying all words accordingly :) This helped us identify entities within texts automatically!! Great tools provided here makes life easier. Highly recommended. ! You may find yourself stuck once during installation process because there might.

Pros
  • Very user friendly interface; almost no need fo manual work needed before starting actual data processing phase ; works perfectly fine under linux systems alongwith other OSes
  • Windows / Mac osx both..great support team behind that
Cons
  • Some problems
