The hand-picked selection of the best Python libraries and tools of 2022
Hi u/dekked_, perhaps you want to add my natural language detection library Lingua to the NLP section of the long tail. It is pretty unique among the natural language detection libraries for Python because it is able to detect multiple languages in mixed-language text. It is also one of the most accurate libraries when detecting the language of short text. I would very much appreciate if you added my library to your list.
- Lingua 1.2.0 - The most accurate natural language detection library for Python - now with support for detecting multiple languages in mixed-language text.
- Lingua 1.1.0 - The most accurate natural language detection library for Python

Lingua-Go, the most accurate language detection for Go
I've compared the Python implementation of Lingua with fasttext. Lingua performs clearly better. Look here: https://github.com/pemistahl/lingua-py#4-how-good-is-it
- Lingua 1.0.1: The most accurate natural language detection library for Python - previously for Python >= 3.9, now compatible with Python >= 3.7

Announcing Lingua 1.0.0: The most accurate natural language detection library for Python, suitable for long and short text alike
Python is widely used in natural language processing, so there are a couple of comprehensive open source libraries for this task, such as Google's CLD 2 and CLD 3, langid and langdetect. Unfortunately, except for the last one they have two major drawbacks:
-
Best C# library to detect the language of user input strings without calling external APIs like Google Translate etc?
I was looking for something like that for .net app and ended up using this https://github.com/google/cld3

Using char n grams as input to a neural network
I used it a lot in the models I work on. For example, we used it on a widely used project called CLD3 (https://github.com/google/cld3). The performance is great.
