出于某种原因,WordNet在引理级别而不是Synset(参见http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?o2=&o0=1&o8=1&o1=1&o7=&o5=&o9=&o6=&o3=&o4=&s=good&i=8&h=00001000000000000000000000000000#c)索引反义关系,因此问题是Synsets和Lemmas是否具有多对多或一对一的关系.
在含糊不清的单词,一个含义很多的单词的情况下,我们在String-to-Synset之间有一对多的关系,例如
>>> wn.synsets('dog')
[Synset('dog.n.01'), Synset('frump.n.01'), Synset('dog.n.03'), Synset('cad.n.01'), Synset('frank.n.02'), Synset('pawl.n.01'), Synset('andiron.n.01'), Synset('chase.v.01')]
在一个含义/概念,多个表示的情况下,我们在Synset-to-String(其中String指引理名称)之间具有一对多关系:
>>> dog = wn.synset('dog.n.1')
>>> dog.definition()
u'a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds'
>>> dog.lemma_names()
[u'dog', u'domestic_dog', u'Canis_familiaris']
注意:到目前为止,我们正在比较String和Synsets之间的关系,而不是Lemmas和Synsets.
“可爱”的东西是Lemma和String有一对一的关系:
>>> wn.synsets('dog')
[Synset('dog.n.01'), Synset('frump.n.01'), Synset('dog.n.03'), Synset('cad.n.01'), Synset('frank.n.02'), Synset('pawl.n.01'), Synset('andiron.n.01'), Synset('chase.v.01')]
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0]
Synset('dog.n.01')
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0].definition()
u'a member of the genus Canis (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds'
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0].lemmas()
[Lemma('dog.n.01.dog'), Lemma('dog.n.01.domestic_dog'), Lemma('dog.n.01.Canis_familiaris')]
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0].lemmas()[0]
Lemma('dog.n.01.dog')
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0].lemmas()[0].name()
u'dog'
Lemma attributes, accessible via methods with the same name::
name: The canonical name of this lemma.
synset: The synset that this lemma belongs to.
syntactic_marker: For adjectives, the WordNet string identifying the
syntactic position relative modified noun. See:
07004
For all other parts of speech, this attribute is None.
count: The frequency of this lemma in wordnet.
所以我们可以这样做,并以某种方式知道每个Lemma对象只会返回1个synset:
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0].lemmas()[0]
Lemma('dog.n.01.dog')
>>> wn.synsets('dog')[0].lemmas()[0].synset()
Synset('dog.n.01')
假设您正在尝试进行一些情绪分析,并且您需要WordNet中每个形容词的反义词,您可以轻松地接受反义词的Synsets:
>>> from nltk.corpus import wordnet as wn
>>> all_adj_in_wn = wn.all_synsets(pos='a')
>>> def get_antonyms(ss):
... return set(chain(*[[a.synset() for a in l.antonyms()] for l in ss.lemmas()]))
...
>>> for ss in all_adj_in_wn:
... print ss, ':', get_antonyms(ss)
...
Synset('unable.a.01') : set([Synset('unable.a.01')])
