NLTK corpus: Exercise-13 with Solution

Write a Python NLTK program to extract the last letter of all the labeled names and create a new array with the last letter of each name and the associated label.

Sample Solution:

Python Code :

from nltk.corpus import names 
import random  
male_names = names.words('male.txt')
female_names = names.words('female.txt') 
labeled_male_names = [(str(name), 'male') for name in male_names]
labeled_female_names = [(str(name), 'female') for name in female_names]
# combine labeled male and labeled female names
all_labeled_names = labeled_male_names + labeled_female_names 
feature_set = [(name[-1], gender) for (name, gender) in all_labeled_names]
print("\nFirst 15 labeled names:") 
print((all_labeled_names[:15]))
print("\nLast letter of all the labeled names with the associated label:")
print((feature_set[:15]))

Sample Output:

First 15 labeled names:
[('Aamir', 'male'), ('Aaron', 'male'), ('Abbey', 'male'), ('Abbie', 'male'), ('Abbot', 'male'), ('Abbott', 'male'), ('Abby', 'male'), ('Abdel', 'male'), ('Abdul', 'male'), ('Abdulkarim', 'male'), ('Abdullah', 'male'), ('Abe', 'male'), ('Abel', 'male'), ('Abelard', 'male'), ('Abner', 'male')]

Last letter of all the labeled names with the associated label:
[('r', 'male'), ('n', 'male'), ('y', 'male'), ('e', 'male'), ('t', 'male'), ('t', 'male'), ('y', 'male'), ('l', 'male'), ('l', 'male'), ('m', 'male'), ('h', 'male'), ('e', 'male'), ('l', 'male'), ('d', 'male'), ('r', 'male')]

Python: Tips of the Day

Get the Key Whose Value Is Maximal in a Dictionary:

>>> model_scores = {'model_a': 100, 'model_z': 198, 'model_t': 150}
>>> # workaround
>>> keys, values = list(model_scores.keys()), list(model_scores.values())
>>> keys[values.index(max(values))]
'model_z'
>>> # one-line
>>> max(model_scores, key=model_scores.get)
'model_z'
