Tag parts of speech in a text

Part of Speech Tagger

Utilizes engtagger to tag parts of speech in a text file.

It can either return a JSON object via a Rake Task or display graphs on the results.

Requirements

• Ruby 2.6.5

Setup

• bundle install
• bundle exec rails s

Navigate to localhost:3000

Attach file, hit the submit button, and it'll show bar graphs of the parts of speech counts after it's done calculating.

Rake Task

Proper Nouns/Nouns/Verbs/Adjectives:

bundle exec rake "pos_tagger:tag_text[spec/fixtures/test.txt,count]"

Just Proper Nouns:

bundle exec rake "pos_tagger:proper_nouns[spec/fixtures/test.txt,count]"

• 1st argument is the path to the file to tag.
• 2nd argument (optional) is the ordering. Default is by count. Alternative options: alpha for alphabetical ordering.
• 3rd argument (optional) is how many words to return. Default is 10. If a negative number is put in, all words will be returned.

The Rakefile outputs the data into a pretty JSON array:

  "proper_nouns": {
    "Cyclone": 1,
    "Fla'neiel": 1,
    "Flana": 1,
    "King": 3
