Overview of this book

Step-by-step recipes filled with practical code samples and engaging examples demonstrate Haskell in practice, and then the concepts behind the code. This book shows functional developers and analysts how to leverage their existing knowledge of Haskell specifically for high-quality data analysis. A good understanding of data sets and functional programming is assumed.

Ignoring punctuation and specific characters

Usually in natural language processing, some uninformative words or characters, called stop words, can be filtered out for easier handling. When computing word frequencies or extracting sentiment data from a corpus, punctuation or special characters might need to be ignored. This recipe demonstrates how to remove these specific characters from the body of a text.

How to do it...

There are no imports necessary. Create a new file, which we will call Main.hs, and perform the following steps:

Implement main and define a string called quote. The back slashes (\) represent multiline strings:

main :: IO ()
main = do
  let quote = "Deep Blue plays very good chess-so what?\ 
    \Does that tell you something about how we play chess?\
    \No. Does it tell you about how Kasparov envisions,\ 
    \understands a chessboard? (Douglas Hofstadter)"
  putStrLn $ (removePunctuation.replaceSpecialSymbols) quote

Replace all punctuation marks with an empty string, and...
