Simple Natural Language Processing for iOS

• Xcode 9.0 or newer
• CocoaPods 1.2.1 or Newer

• In your Podfile, add the line

        pod 'NativeNLP', :path => '[path to .podspec]/NativeNLP'

• In your Resources group, create a training file for each Intent that you wish to train, label it with the ‘.train’ file extension. For example search.train, for search phrases
• Within your training file add some example phrases to train on. Use at least 10 phrases for better results.
• Naïve Bayes requires balancing between each Intent. Your defined intents are treated as positive, while default intents are treated as Negative. So, if you have 10 phrases for each positive intent, you will need at least 10 default or negative phrases. These should be phrases that could be extracted from a random source, i.e. Reuters, IMDB, or Twitter.
• Once training files has been populated, you’re ready to use NativeNLP pod.
• In your Podfile, add the line

        let nlpEngine = NativeNLP()

• Train your NLP engine

        nlpEngine.train(fromFileName: "default", forIntent: "default")

        nlpEngine.train(fromFileName: "search_nlp", forIntent: "email.check")

• Parse user Natural Language phrases

        runParser(inputText: "May the force be with you!")

        runParser(inputText: "Show me emails from Luke")

        runParser(inputText: "Show me emails from Rey from last Tuesday")
