icenews

Simple NLP for Icelandic News

This project is aimed at extracting themes / concepts from simple icelandic news text - headlines and such. This is used for example by helst.is for processing mainstream Icelandic news media.

How to use

$ pip install icenews
$ python -m icenews

And then when the web server is running - analyze your text. For example:

$ python
>>> import requests
>>> t = 'Áformað er að taka upp nýtt greiðslukerfi fyrir Strætó á næstunni.'
>>> r = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/v1/parse', json={'in': t}) 
>>> print(r.json())
{'important_words': ['greiðslukerfi', 'strætó', 'upp', 'á næstunni', 'áforma', 'áformaður', 'nýr', 'nýta']}

Use with container

If you prefer you can also load the prebuilt container and run locally:

Now with API documentation!
