Welcome to the world of natural language processing (NLP) with Kadot! This versatile open-source library simplifies text processing through vector representations. In this blog, we’ll unfold how to utilize Kadot for your NLP tasks, explore its features, and troubleshoot common issues.

Getting Started with Kadot

Before we dive into the n-grams functionality, ensure you have Kadot installed in your Python environment. You can follow the instructions on the **[Kadot Documentation](http://kadot.readthedocs.io/en/1.0dev?badge=1.0dev)** for setup.

How to Extract n-grams Using Kadot

Now, let’s delve into one of Kadot’s nifty features: generating n-grams. Think of n-grams as slices of text—like pieces of bread in a sandwich—where each piece represents a combination of words.

from kadot.tokenizers import regex_tokenizer
hello_tokens = regex_tokenizer("Kadot just lets you process a text easily.")
print(hello_tokens.ngrams(n=2))  # Generates bigrams
# Output: [(Kadot, just), (just, lets), (lets, you), (you, process), (process, a), (a, text), (text, easily)]

The Analogy of n-grams

Imagine you’re at a café that serves sandwiches. Each sandwich is made of multiple slices, and each slice can represent a unique combination of ingredients. In the context of text, an n-gram is like a slice of your sandwich; it contains an arrangement of adjacent words that create a meaningful combination. For example, in the phrase “Kadot just lets you process a text easily,” the bigrams (2-grams) can be thought of as pairs of consecutive slices that demonstrate relationships between adjacent words.

New Features in Version 1.0

• Vectorizers: Introduced Word2Vec, Fasttext, and Doc2Vec algorithms via Gensim.
• Performance Enhancements: The new word vectorizer is significantly faster and memory efficient.
• Models: Features automatic text summarization, a text classifier, and an entity labeler.
• Dependencies: While Numpy and Scipy are essential, Gensim and Pytorch will soon become part of Kadot’s enhanced toolkit.

Troubleshooting Kadot

If you encounter issues while using Kadot, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure all dependencies are correctly installed.
• If n-grams aren’t generating as expected, validate your text input for any unusual characters or formatting.
• Check the version of Kadot installed. Upgrade if necessary using pip.
