Replace words in a sentence

[Gunni]

Hey, i would like to be able to feed this library a string, such as:

• Example title - Chapter One Hundred Fifteen
• Example title - Ninety-Eight

and get back, in those examples:

• Example title - Chapter 115
• Example title - 98

Is that possible?

First this module is very nice but also long time not update and so I'm sorry to recommend take a fork; over Insights => network you find working forks. The https://github.com/frootbirb fork may be interesting but I don't tested it ("-" problem perhaps).

Second the answer is: not with this module alone in generic way. You get only this numbers as return.

• Example title - Chapter One Hundred Fifteen => 115
• Example title - Ninety-Eight => 98

But if ever the number is last in your sentences try it.

The module is not a NLP library but nice to work at result from NLP. As result of NLP you have a good chance to get a right tagging as num for "One" "Hundred" "Fifteen" "Ninety-Eight" and can the result send to word_to_number. Only a chance in result often numbers are tagged as noun for example https://parts-of-speech.info and insert your text without some NLP steps before.

Hey,

You were right, I got it working at last, after much work https://gist.github.com/Gunni/7d2e14b49d3f0483666843e31b2b358f .

The biggest problem was the normal tokenizer refused to tag random numbers, so I had to make my own tagger, and feed it tagged "number words".

I did it for all numbers from 10k to 0.

That works for my usecase, maybe it can help someone else out there...

Hi @Gunni , I have been super busy with other commitments and plan on updating the package as soon as I get some free time. Thanks for understanding.
