how to tag POS on nouns and verbs in MATLAB, Is it related to regular expressions? I know that regular expressions find a pattern in a text, but I want to find the most common words in texts and tag POS on them( I mean the words are nouns or verbs) and then exchange that POS and make an unfamiliar pair of words. how can I find the most common words in texts by MATLAB?is there any solution for that or I should use another software?

Best Answer

Finding the most common words is easy with Text Analytics Toolbox:
>> sonnets = extractFileText("sonnets.txt");
>> sonnets = erasePunctuation(sonnets);
>> tokenizedSonnets = tokenizedDocument(lower(sonnets));
>> bag = bagOfWords(tokenizedSonnets);
>> topkwords(bag, 10)
ans =
    10×2 table
       Word     Count
      ______    _____
      "and"      490 
      "the"      436 
      "to"       409 
      "my"       371 
      "of"       370 
      "i"        344 
      "in"       321 
      "that"     320 
      "thy"      281 
      "thou"     234
You probably want to remove some words (check out removeWords and stopWords). POS tagging is supported in release R2018b and later, see addPartOfSpeechDetails.
