如何将复数单词变为单数?

23

我正在为ORM准备一些表名,并希望将复数表名转换为单个实体名称。我的唯一问题是找到一个可靠的算法来完成这个任务。以下是我目前正在做的:

  1. 如果一个单词以-ies结尾,我将结尾替换为-y
  2. 如果一个单词以-es结尾,我将此结尾删除。然而,这并不总是奏效 - 例如,它会将Types 替换为 Typ
  3. 否则,我只需删除尾随的-s

是否有人知道更好的算法?

很久以前我就放弃了使用复数表名,改为使用单数表名,这样可以节省打字的时间! - Stijn Sanders

你所有的规则都有微不足道的情况会失败:“馅饼”、“树”、“公交车”。当然还有无数其他情况。唯一的答案是(正如Tal Pressman所说)你正在处理自然语言,其中例外是常态。 - bignose
.NET Inflector非常棒,您可以定义规则、异常、不常见的复数形式、不可数名词(如鱼和羊)等等。这是一个很棒的库。 - BenAlabaster
我会只实现一个简单的常见转换列表,就像OP发布的那样,并允许明确指定单数版本(例如作为模型属性)用于最常见以外的情况。 - Ali Gangji

这些都是一般规则(而且很好),但英语并不是给胆小的人用的 :-)。

我个人更喜欢有一个转换引擎以及一组变换规则(惊讶吧),用于实际工作。你可以按照特定到一般的顺序运行这些变换规则,当找到匹配项时,应用规则到单词上并停止。

正则表达式是处理这个问题的理想方法,因为它们具有表达能力。以下是一个示例规则集:

 1. If the word is fish, return fish.
 2. If the word is sheep, return sheep.
 3. If the word is "radii", return "radius".
 4. If the word ends in "ii", replace that "ii" with "us" (octopii,virii).
 5. If a word ends with -ies, replace the ending with -y
 6. If a word ends with -es, remove it.
 7. Otherwise, just remove any trailing -s.

请注意保持此转换集的最新状态。例如,假设有人添加了表名types。这将被规则#6捕获,您将得到错误的单数值typ

解决方案是在#6之前的某个位置插入一个新规则,比如:

 3.5: If the word is "types", return "type".

如果需要进行非常具体的转换,或者日后可以使其更加通用的话,你可能需要更新这个转换表格,以包含英语在过去几个世纪中所产生的所有令人惊叹的例外情况。


另一个可能性是根本不浪费时间去制定通用规则。

由于当前要求的用例仅仅是对表名进行单数化处理,而表名集合相对较小(至少与复数英语单词集合相比如此),因此可以创建另一个名为“singulars”的表格(或某种数据结构),将所有当前的复数表名(例如“employees”、“customers”)映射为相应的单数对象名(例如“employee”、“customer”)。

然后,每当添加一个新表时,请确保向“singulars”“表”中添加一条记录,以便您可以将其转换为单数形式。


哦,我喜欢这个。它降低了我的案例优先级,以至于我感到有点尴尬。好的,知道了。会使用异常处理而不是规则。 - Dmitri Nesteruk
正则表达式只能帮你解决一部分问题,你需要创建一个类来定义基本规则、异常、不可数名词、不常见变形以及其他许多变体——有些使用拉丁语进行复数形式,有些使用希腊语,这是一个复杂的主题。 - BenAlabaster

只是想知道,规则98怎么样?例如,“blades”怎么办?根据那个规则,它会转换成“blad” :-/ - ira
@iraklisg,是的,它会。因此,您需要在0和98之间插入一条规则来涵盖该情况,就像答案段的其余部分建议的那样 :-) - paxdiablo

问题在于这些规则是基于一般情况,但英语有着(比喻意义上的)无数个例外...对于像“fish”或者“geese”这样的单词该怎么办呢?
此外,这些规则是用来将单数名词变为复数形式的。反过来映射并不一定可行(考虑“freebies”)。

2
我认为你没有意识到十亿实际上有多大 :-) 或者你是在比喻吗?[这实际上是我的一个烦恼,那些说“字面上的十亿”,而实际上他们是在用比喻的方式。] - paxdiablo
3
好吧,我没有说“确切地”,是吗? :p 但如果这让你很烦恼的话... - Tal Pressman
这里"freebie"的单数形式确实应该是"freebie",但是按照问题中原始规则来说,你需要把它变成"freeby",这是错误的。 - Tal Pressman
英语中有大约400个规则,如果算上一次性的外来借词。 - tchrist

Andrew Peters有一个名为Inflector.NET的类,它提供了复数转单数和单数转复数的方法。正如Tal所指出的那样,没有算法是万无一失的,但这个类可以涵盖相当数量的不规则英语名词。


我用过这个,非常棒...我稍微扩展了一下。网上有很多不常见的复数形式的例子,可以添加到你可以在线获取的基本版本中。 - BenAlabaster
Inflector.NET是解决这个问题的好方法。如果上面的链接失效了,那么这里有一个GitHub链接 https://github.com/srkirkland/Inflector - Daniel Bradley

请参考这个答案,建议使用Morpha(或学习其算法)。
如果您知道要词形还原的单词是复数名词,则可以标记它们为NNS以获得更准确的输出。
输入示例:
$ cat test.txt 
Types_NNS
Pies_NNS
Trees_NNS
Buses_NNS
Radii_NNS
Communities_NNS
Sheep_NNS
Fish_NNS

输出示例:

$ cat test.txt | ./morpha -c
Type
Pie
Tree
Bus
Radius
Community
Sheep
Fish

也许你需要这个,它很有效,如果你知道如何使用PHP脚本。它可以将复数单词变成单数,也可以将单数单词变成复数。

作为改进,您可以使用生成多个可能性的规则,然后在字典中查找结果以淘汰不可能的选项。
例如,将-ies替换为-y和-ie。 Pies变成Py和Pie。只有其中一个在字典中,因此选择那个。
也许您甚至可以找到一个带有频率信息的字典,并选择您生成的最常见单词。
如果您将其与涵盖一些异常情况的有序规则列表相结合,您可能会获得相当高的准确性。

希望能够将复数转换回单数实体名称,如果可能的话。或者是我漏掉了什么? :) - trillions

我刚刚遇到这个问题,并在10分钟内开发出了解决方案。

我认为@paxdiablo提供了一个好的思路来构建转换引擎并添加规则。我制定了一个字典规则和三个通用规则。字典规则到字典文件中查找异常情况,而三个通用规则分别处理“ies”、“es”和“s”。

然而,将所有例外情况添加到字典可能需要太多时间,例如pies/trees/bus等。我做的一项改进是确保可以将其转换回来。

例如,如果我们错误地将“trees”应用于删除“es”规则并将其转换为“tre”,当尝试添加复数形式时,您将获得“tres”,它不等于原始的“tree”,因此您知道不应该应用“es”规则。这种方法可以解决上述例外情况,而无需将它们添加到字典文件中。

最终,我得到了一个包含42个真正特殊单词的字典文件,并且它可以处理大多数情况。
