Quick start
Tokenizer
from wikilangs import tokenizer
tok = tokenizer('latest', 'fr', 32000)
tokens = tok.tokenize("Your text here")N-gram
from wikilangs import ngram
ng = ngram('latest', 'fr', gram_size=3)
score = ng.score("Your text here")Markov chain
from wikilangs import markov
mc = markov('latest', 'fr', depth=3)
text = mc.generate(length=50)Vocabulary
from wikilangs import vocabulary
vocab = vocabulary('latest', 'fr')
info = vocab.lookup("word")Embeddings
from wikilangs import embeddings
emb = embeddings('latest', 'fr', dimension=64)
vec = emb.embed_word("word")Available models
