Michael Granger<\/a> gave a RubyConf 2006 presentation on Natural Language Processing and Natural Language Generation in Ruby. Michael gave some interesting demos where he was able to break a sentence into its grammatical building blocks such as subject, verb, and noun. He was also able to translate a sentence into a more generic version of itself. This session was a personal favorite although I don’t have a current need for language processing libraries.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of Ruby libraries which Michael recommends:
\nStemmable<\/a> – an implementation of Porter Stemming Algorithm<\/a>.
\nChronic<\/a> – a natural language date\/time parser written in pure Ruby.
\nRuby WordNet<\/a> – Ruby WordNet is a Ruby interface to the WordNet Lexical Database<\/a>.
\nRuby LinkParser<\/a> – Ruby port of the perl module Lingua::LinkParser<\/a> used to determine the structure of a sentence.
\nRuby Linguistics<\/a> – A Ruby framework that integrates Ruby WordNet, Ruby LinkParser. Here is some code of Ruby Linguistics in use:
\n
\n[source:ruby]
\nrequire ‘linguistics’
\nLinguistics::use(:en) # extends Array, String, and Numeric<\/p>\n

# Pluralization
\nputs “box”.en.plural # => “boxes”
\nputs “mouse”.en.plural # => “mice”<\/p>\n

# Present Participles
\n“runs”.en.present_participle # => “running”
\n“eats”.en.present_participle # => “eating”<\/p>\n

# Ordinal Numbers
\nputs 5.en.ordinal # => “5th”
\nputs 2004.en.ordinal # => “2004th”<\/p>\n

# Quantification
\nputs “cow”.en.quantify(5) # => “several cows”
\nputs “cow”.en.quantify(1005) # => “thousands of cows”
\n[\/source]<\/p>\n
