NLTK
NLTK is the classic library for teaching and researching NLP. While slower than spaCy, it offers comprehensive linguistic data.
When to Use
- Education: Learning how tokenizers or stemmers work from scratch.
- Lexical Resources: Access to WordNet, FrameNet, and huge corpora.
- Low-level Text Processing: Porter/Snowball stemmers.
Core Concepts
Corpora
nltk.download('gutenberg'). Access to classic texts.
Tokenization
Splitting text into words/sentences.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use for Education: Excellent for linguistics classes.
- Use for Lexical Lookups: WordNet interface is still useful.
Don't:
- Don't use in Production: Use spaCy or Hugging Face. NLTK is slow and string-based.
