  1. Recently I've combined various functions which I've been using in other projects (e.g. my personal PKM toolchain) and published them as new library thi.ng/text-analysis for better re-use:

    - customizable, composable & extensible tokenization (transducer based)
    - ngram generation
    - Porter-stemming & stopword removal
    - vocabulary (bi-directional index) creation
    - dense & sparse multi-hot vector encoding/decoding
    - histograms (incl. sorted versions)
    - tf-idf (term frequency & inverse document frequency), multiple strategies
    - k-means clustering (with k-means++ initialization & customizable distance metrics)
    - similarity/distance functions (dense & sparse versions)
    - central terms extraction

    The attached code example (also in the project readme) uses this package to creeate a clustering of all ~210 #ThingUmbrella packages, based on their assigned tags/keywords...

    The library is not intended to be a full-blown NLP solution, but I keep on finding myself running into these functions/concepts quite often, and maybe you'll find them useful too...
