The corpus_frame() function behaves similarly to the data.frame function, but expects one of the columns to be named "text". Note that we do not need to specify stringsAsFactors = FALSE when creating a corpus data frame object. As an alternative to using the corpus_frame() function, we can construct a data frame using some other method (e.g., read.csv or read_ndjson) and use the as_corpus_frame() function.
The corpus library provides facilities for transforming texts into sequences of tokens and for computing the statistics of these sequences. The text_filter() function allows us to control the transformation from text to tokens. The text_stats() and term_stats() functions compute text- and term-level occurrence statistics. The text_locate() function and allow us to search for terms within texts. The term_matrix() function computes a text-by-term frequency matrix. These functions and their variants provide the building blocks for analyzing text.

A small sample of texts from Project Gutenberg appears in the NLTK corpus collection.However, you may be interested in analyzing other texts from Project Gutenberg.You can browse the catalog of 25,000 free online books at , and obtain a URL to an ASCII text file.Although 90% of the texts in Project Gutenberg are in English, itincludes material in over 50 other languages, including Catalan, Chinese, Dutch,Finnish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish (with more than100 texts each).
The web can be thought of as a huge corpus of unannotated text. Websearch engines provide an efficient means of searching this largequantity of text for relevant linguistic examples. The main advantageof search engines is size: since you are searching such a large set ofdocuments, you are more likely to find any linguistic pattern youare interested in. Furthermore, you can make use of very specificpatterns, which would only match one or two examples on a smallerexample, but which might match tens of thousands of examples when runon the web. A second advantage of web search engines is that they arevery easy to use. Thus, they provide a very convenient tool forquickly checking a theory, to see if it is reasonable.
NLTK's corpus files can also be accessed using these methods. We simplyhave to use nltk.data.find() to get the filename for any corpus item.Then we can open and read it in the way we just demonstrated above:
It's time to examine a fundamental data type that we've been studiously avoidingso far. In earlier chapters we focused on a text as a list of words. We didn'tlook too closely at words and how they are handled in the programminglanguage. By using NLTK's corpus interface we were able to ignorethe files that these texts had come from. The contents of a word, andof a file, are represented by programming languages as a fundamentaldata type known as a string. In this section we explore stringsin detail, and show the connection between strings, words, texts and files.
It is easy to build search patterns when the linguistic phenomenon we'restudying is tied to particular words. In some cases, a little creativitywill go a long way. For instance, searching a large text corpus forexpressions of the form x and other ys allows us to discoverhypernyms (cf 5):
Searching corpora also suffers from the problem of false negatives,i.e. omitting cases that we would want to include. It is risky toconclude that some linguistic phenomenon doesn't exist in a corpusjust because we couldn't find any instances of a search pattern.Perhaps we just didn't think carefully enough about suitable patterns.
When developing a tokenizer it helps to have access to raw text whichhas been manually tokenized, in order to compare the output of your tokenizerwith high-quality (or "gold-standard") tokens. The NLTK corpuscollection includes a sample of Penn Treebank data, including the rawWall Street Journal text (nltk.corpus.treebank_raw.raw()) andthe tokenized version (nltk.corpus.treebank.words()).
Often we write a program to report a single data item, such as a particular elementin a corpus that meets some complicated criterion, or a single summary statisticsuch as a word-count or the performance of a tagger. More often, we write a programto produce a structured result; for example, a tabulation of numbers or linguistic forms,or a reformatting of the original data. When the results to be presented are linguistic,textual output is usually the most natural choice. However, when the results are numerical,it may be preferable to produce graphical output. In this section you will learn abouta variety of ways to present program output.

A colloid cyst can be removed with a craniotomy. A craniotomy is a surgery where an incision is made in the scalp, and part of the skull is removed for the duration of the surgery, then the skull is put back in place. Two separate routes exist to remove the colloid cysts: transcallosal and transcortical. In the transcallosal approach, the two frontal hemispheres are split apart, and a surgical corridor is created through the rostral end of the genu of the corpus callosum to access the colloid cyst. For the transcortical route, a surgical corridor is developed directly through the brain cortex, most commonly through the right frontal and middle gyrus, to access the lateral ventricle. The colloid cyst can then be removed through the lateral ventricle.
Because most of the corpus callosotomy (CC) series available in literature were published before the advent of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), the efficacy of CC in patients with inadequate response to VNS remains unclear, especially in adult patients.
Palliative procedures such as corpus callosotomy (CC) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) may be effective for adequate seizure control in Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) patients who are not candidates for resective surgery.
If gravity alone does not supply sufficient retraction, additional force can be attained either with two rolled up cotton paddies or gentle pressure from a self-retaining retractor. The glistening white corpus callosum is identified and exposed along its length, as are the two pericallosal arteries. Division of the corpus callosum is best performed under the operating microscope by dividing a small portion of the callosum and identifying the midline cleft between the ventricles where the septum pellucidum inserts. The use of frameless stereotaxy can be helpful in distinguishing the callosum from the cingulate gyri and defining the depth of the callosum, depending on the degree of brain shift. Without entering the ventricle, this cleft is followed first anteriorly around the genu and down to the rostrum. Additional posterior division can be performed with the help of frameless stereotaxy to achieve a 2/3 division. Alternatively, a metal clip can be placed at the back of the callosal division and a lateral radiograph obtained to ensure that the callo-sotomy has been carried out behind the line bisecting the glabella-inion line. A final metal clip is then placed at the posterior margin of the callosotomy to demarcate the limits of the resection in case a second operation is required to complete the callosotomy. Anticonvulsants are continued postoperatively.
The anatomical basis for the technique is the presence of a definable cleft just ventral to the corpus callosum in the midline, formed by the fusion of the two laminae of the septum pellucidum. This small cleft is typically present even in the absence of a cavum septum pellucidum on MR imaging. The authors have found that dividing the body of the corpus callosum by exploiting the cleft of the septum pellucidum in the absolute midline is a simple and expeditious way to perform a callosotomy without entering the lateral ventricles 2). Traditionally corpus callosotomy is done through a craniotomy centered at the coronal suture, with the aid of a microscope. This involves dissecting through the interhemispheric fissure below the falx to reach the corpus callosum.
Sood et al., describe a posterior interhemispheric approach to complete corpus callosotomy with an endoscope, which bypasses the need to perform interhemispheric dissection because the falx is generally close to the corpus callosum in this region 5).
In 36 patients with drug-resistant epilepsy submitted to anterior callosotomy (27 cases), to two-stage total callosotomy (8 cases) and to posterior callosotomy (1 case) the EEG variations concerning background activity, focal activity and sharp-waves (SW) bisynchronous activity were evaluated. EEG modifications observed after callosotomy are the following: background rhythm tends to be better organised as spectral analysis demonstrated, this finding usually coincide with reduction of bisynchronous discharges. It appears that improvement in background activity cannot be correlated with outcome, but it seems to be to some extent since at the same time cognitive functions also seem to improve; however, this last aspect need to be checked in much larger series. The number and location of EEG foci do not change, but they appear to be more active; this is likely to depend only on the concomitant reduction of bisynchronous activity. No correlation seems to exist between the number and the location of foci, which are generally multiple. Lateralization of bisynchronous discharges as well as the reduction of their frequency and duration were observed. However, the clinical course is quite different: in some patients we have achieved good clinical responses in others postoperative results were poor. Lateralization of bisynchronous discharges is never absolute, on the grounds that in prolonged recordings bisynchronous discharges are nearly always present. Bisynchronous discharges in some cases are alternatively predominant in both hemispheres even within minutes or seconds. It was observed that after certain time, generally some months, lateralized discharges tend to generalize again, confirming that corpus callosum is replaced in discharge diffusion by other structures (brain-stem, diencephalon) 14). 2ff7e9595c
