What it does

Synonyms is a Python library for Chinese natural language processing. It finds words with similar meanings and measures how alike two words or sentences are.

The README lists uses such as chatbots, question answering, search engines, recommendations, keyword extraction and summaries.

The code installs normally, but the README says downloading its machine learning model needs a paid licence from Chatopera.
