Natural Language Processing in Ruby [closed]

Answer 1

TREAT – the Text REtrieval and Annotation Toolkit – is the most comprehensive toolkit I know of for Ruby: https://github.com/louismullie/treat/wiki/

Answer 2

There are some things at Ruby Linguistics and some links therefrom, though it doesn't seem anywhere close to what NLTK is for Python, yet.

Answer 3

Also consider using SaaS APIs like MonkeyLearn. You can easily train text classifiers with machine learning and integrate via an API. There's a Ruby SDK available.

Besides creating your own classifiers, you can pick pre-created modules for sentiment analysis, topic classification, language detection and more. We also have extractors like keyword extraction and entities, and we'll keep adding more public modules.

Other nice features:

• You have a GUI to create/test algorithms.
• Algorithms run really fast in our cloud computing platform.
• You can integrate with Ruby or any other programming language.

Answer 4

I found an excellent article detailing some NLP algorithms in Ruby here. This includes stemmers, date time parsers and grammar parsers.

Answer 5

You can always use jruby and use the java libraries.

EDIT: The ability to do ruby natively on the jvm and easily leverage java libraries is a big plus for rubyists. This is a good option that should be considered in a situation like this.
