How can we tokenize a string into a list based on language? For example, if the string is "hi 안녕하세요 반가워요 hello", the resulting list should be ["hi", "안녕하세요 반가워요", "hello"].
To tokenize a string to a list by language, we can use a similar approach as before using regular expressions to tokenize the text based on the Unicode character properties. Here's an example code snippet that tokenizes a string to a list by language using regular expressions:
1 | import re |
This will output the following list of tokens: ['hi', '안녕하세요 반가워요', 'hello']
.
Note that for Korean text, we use the regular expression [^\s]+
to match any
sequence of non-whitespace characters, which includes punctuation symbols such
as period and comma. We then use the re.sub
function to remove any remaining
punctuation from each token.
