Tokenizers
Tokenize a document or character vector.
Usage
MC_tokenizer(x)
scan_tokenizer(x)
Arguments
- x
- A character vector, or an object that can be coerced to character by
as.character
.
Details
The quality and correctness of a tokenization algorithm highly depends on the context and application scenario. Relevant factors are the language of the underlying text and the notions of whitespace (which can vary with the used encoding and the language) and punctuation marks. Consequently, for superior results you probably need a custom tokenization function.
- scan_tokenizer
- Relies on
scan(..., what = "character")
.
Value
-
A character vector consisting of tokens obtained by tokenization of
x
.
