Review on KoNLPy by Shawn Xayamonty

Revainrating 4 out of 5

KoNLPy is a great tool for sentiment analysis and other text analysis tasks

I'm a beginner in Artificial Intelligence or Data Science as well as Python. The training process was easy with the provided data sets and tutorials, but since it's an AI project we were hoping to also use some 3rd party libraries such as NLTK for sentiment analysis tasks which didn't come pre-installed into KoNLPY. So there might be other features not covered by koNLPY too that are used in some projects so don't feel limited by this. But if you're building something simple like this website just using python then it should work perfectly fine without any issues encountered. Since everything will run locally so no need to worry about hosting costs etc. You can easily train your models when needed and test them out before publishing anything. KoNLPy is a very powerful library that can handle a huge amount of Korean text data, and it has a great API. I wish it were more stable, because sometimes it crashes when loading documents, but I think that's just a minor issue. I would like to be able to handle more complicated data and sentences, but I think that's a problem of the language, not the library. I'm currently using it for sentiment analysis of news articles. It's very accurate for the task, and I've been able to get great results.
