__init__(self, root, fileids)
(Constructor)

source code 
Parameters:
  • root - A path pointer identifying the root directory for this corpus. If a string is specified, then it will be converted to a PathPointer automatically.
  • fileids - A list of the files that make up this corpus. This list can either be specified explicitly, as a list of strings; or implicitly, as a regular expression over file paths. The absolute path for each file will be constructed by joining the reader's root to each file name.
  • encoding - The default unicode encoding for the files that make up the corpus. encoding's value can be any of the following:
    • A string: encoding is the encoding name for all files.
    • A dictionary: encoding[file_id] is the encoding name for the file whose identifier is file_id. If file_id is not in encoding, then the file contents will be processed using non-unicode byte strings.
    • A list: encoding should be a list of (regexp, encoding) tuples. The encoding for a file whose identifier is file_id will be the encoding value for the first tuple whose regexp matches the file_id. If no tuple's regexp matches the file_id, the file contents will be processed using non-unicode byte strings.
    • None: the file contents of all files will be processed using non-unicode byte strings.
  • tag_mapping_function - A function for normalizing or simplifying the POS tags returned by the tagged_words() or tagged_sents() methods.

ic(self, icfile)

source code 

Load an information content file from the wordnet_ic corpus and return a dictionary. This dictionary has just two keys, NOUN and VERB, whose values are dictionaries that map from synsets to information content values.

Parameters:
  • icfile (str) - The name of the wordnet_ic file (e.g. "ic-brown.dat")
Returns:
An information content dictionary
