WordNet

Create a Simple network of words related to each other using Twitter Streaming API.

Major parts of this project.

• Streamer : ~/twitter_streaming.py
• TF-IDF Gene : ~/wordnet/tf_idf_generator.py
• NN words Gene :~/ wordnet/nn_words.py
• NETWORK Gene : ~/wordnet/word_net.py

Using Streamer Functionality

1. Clone this repo and run on bash ‘$pip install -r requirements.txt’ @ root directory and you will be ready to go..

2. Go to root-dir(~), Create a config.py file with details mentioned below:

    # Variables that contains the user credentials to access Twitter Streaming API
    # this link will help you(http://socialmedia-class.org/twittertutorial.html)
    access_token = "xxx-xx-xxxx"
    access_token_secret = "xxxxx"
    consumer_key = "xxxxxx"
    consumer_secret = "xxxxxxxx"
   

3. run Streamer with an array of filter words that you want to fetch tweets on. eg. $python twitter_streaming.py hello hi hallo namaste > data_file.txt this will save a line by line words from tweets filtered according to words used as args in data_file.txt.

Using WordNet Module

1. Clone this repo and install wordnet module using this script,

    $python setup.py install
   

2. To create a TF-IDF structure file for every doc, use:

    from wordnet import find_tf_idf
   
    df, tf_idf = find_tf_idf(
    file_names=['file/path1','file/path2',..],       # paths of files to be processed.(create using twitter_streamer.py)
    prev_file_path='prev/tf/idf/file/path.tfidfpkl', # prev TF_IDF file to modify over, format standard is .tfidfpkl. default = None
    dump_path='path/to/dump/file.tfidfpkl'           # dump_path if tf-idf needs to be dumped, format standard is .tfidfpkl. default = None
    )
   
    '''
    if no file is provided prev_file_path parameter, new TF-IDF file will be generated ,and else
    TF-IDF values will be combined with previous file, and dumped at dump_path if mentioned,
    else will only return the new tf-idf list of dictionaries, and df dictionary.
    '''
   

3. To use NN Word Gene of this module, simply use wordnet.find_knn:

    from wordnet import find_knn
   
    words = find_knn(
    tf_idf=tf_idf,       # this tf_idf is returned by find_tf_idf() above.
    input_word='german', # a word for which k nearest neighbours are required.
    k=10,                # k = number of neighbours required, default=10
    rand_on=True         # rand_on = either to randomly skip few words or show initial k words default=True
    )
   
    '''
    This function will return a list of words closely related to provided input_word refering to
    tf_idf var provided to it. either use find_tf_idf() to gather this var or pickle.load() a dump
    file dumped by the same function at your choosen directory. the file contains 2 lists in format
    (idf, tf_idf).
    '''
   

4. To create a Word Network, use :

    from wordnet import generate_net
   
    word_net = generate_net(
    df=df,                          # this df is returned by find_tf_idf() above.
    tf_idf=tf_idf,                  # this tf_idf is returned by find_tf_idf() above.
    dump_path='path/to/dump.wrnt'   # dump_path = path to dump the generated files, format standard is .wrnt. default=None
    )
   
    '''
    this function returns a dict of Word entities, with word as key.
    '''
   

5. To retrieve a Word Network, use :

    from wordnet import retrieve_net
   
    word_net = retrieve_net(
        'path/to/network.wrnt' # path to network file, format standard is .wrnt.
        )
    '''
    this function returns a dictionary of Word entities, with word as key.
    '''
   

6. To retrieve list of words that are at some depth form a root word in the network, use:

    from wordnet import return_net
   
    words = return_net(
        word,       # root word in this process.
        word_net,   # word network generated from generate_net()
        depth=1    # depth to which you wish this word collector to traverse.
    )
    '''
    This function returns a list of words that are at provided depth from root word in the
    network provided.
    '''
   

Test Run

To run a formal test, simply run this script. python test.py, this module will return 0 if everythinig worked as expected.

test.py uses sample data provided here and executes unittest on find_tf_idf(), find_knn() & generate_net().

Streamer functionality will not be provided under distribution of this code. That is just a script independent from the module.
