How to use Matlab to analyze the sentence structure for text analysis?

How to make matlab generate the structure of sentence analysis, like object, subject, verb, clause (like object clouse etc) like Python NLTK?

For example, 'I like you because you are smart'. "I": object, "like": verb, "you": subject, "becuase you are smart": adverb clouse of cause. Can matlab do that and how ?

Thanks!

Out of the box, no.

Of course,Python doesn't do it "out of the box", either...it's the extensive addon that does the work. Whether someone has published a similar piece of work for ML I don't know; I'd suggest to start by searching the File Exchange...

Thanks for the quick response. I searched File exchange but found nothing. I also asked the people who work in NLP industry and they recommend me to use python NLTK or Stanford CoreNLP. But I am not sure if Stanford CoreNLP can be used on Matlab? and is there any matlab tools can do that? Anyone has any experience with this issue? Thanks.

There is a Java interface, which contacts CoreNLP: https://github.com/stanfordnlp/CoreNLP . You can call Java from Matlab also. If there is a working Python toolbox, why not using it?

Because matlab is the primary software our company use, but if matlab cannot do this, I will move to use python.

I'm not certain if Text Analytics Toolbox does all of what you want but I recommend reviewing the documentation, specifically the Text Data Preparation chapter, to check. If not, you could submit an enhancement request with details about your application and the functionality you wanted to see to Technical Support by using the telephone handset icon in the upper-right corner of that page.

I searched in text data preparation and seems that there is no function to analyze sentence structure to get verb, subject, clause etc. I just submitted a requst through tech support. This funcitno is important for NLP analysis to increase the accuracy on sentence understanding, it is nice for matlab to have this function.
