C# for Natural Language Processing (NLP)


C# can be used for NLP tasks, although NLP libraries in C# are not as extensive as those available in Python. In this example, we'll execute Python code within C# using Python.NET to perform basic NLP tasks using the NLTK library.


Sample NLP Code


Here's a basic example of using NLTK for tokenization in Python within C#:


using PythonEngine = Python.Runtime.PythonEngine;
public static class NlpExample
{
public static void Run()
{
using (var engine = new PythonEngine())
{
engine.Exec(@"
import nltk
nltk.download('punkt')
from nltk.tokenize import word_tokenize
text = 'Natural Language Processing with C# is fun!'
tokens = word_tokenize(text)
print(tokens)
");
}
}
}
