Small script I used for extracting data for machine learning endeavors.
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
```
|
|
dataset feature_class [feature_code] [--dirty] [--filter=mask]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
From this invokation ...
|
|
```
|
|
./extractor.py datasets/UA.txt P PPL --filter=0123456789\"\'-\` > UA-prep.txt
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... it produces a newline separated list of relevant toponyms of particular kind, such as:
|
|
```
|
|
Katerynivka
|
|
Vaniushkyne
|
|
Svistuny
|
|
Sopych
|
|
Shilova Balka
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`--filter=` option is there so that aplhabet size could be reduced for learning purposes,
|
|
as there are usually quite a lot of symbols that are only found few times,
|
|
which produces poor balancing.
|
|
|
|
`--dirty` option reduces cases such as `Maydan (Ispas)` and `CHAYKA-Transmitter, Ring Mast 4` to `Maydan` and `CHAYKA-Transmitter`.
|
|
|
|
Duplicates are also removed.
