Xiangrui Meng commented on SPARK-18374: --------------------------------------- See the discussion here: https://github.com/nltk/nltk_data/issues/22. Including `won` is apparently a mistake. > Incorrect words in StopWords/english.txt > ---------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-18374 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-18374 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Bug > Components: ML > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: nirav patel > > I was just double checking english.txt for list of stopwords as I felt it was > taking out valid tokens like 'won'. I think issue is english.txt list is > missing apostrophe character and all character after apostrophe. So "won't" > becam "won" in that list; "wouldn't" is "wouldn" . > Here are some incorrect tokens in this list: > won > wouldn > ma > mightn > mustn > needn > shan > shouldn > wasn > weren > I think ideal list should have both style. i.e. won't and wont both should be > part of english.txt as some tokenizer might remove special characters. But > 'won' is obviously shouldn't be in this list. > Here's list of snowball english stop words: > http://snowball.tartarus.org/algorithms/english/stop.txt -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
