parser

This is the second asignment for the course Algorithms for speech and natural language processing of the 2018/2019 MVA Master class.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• nltk, sklear, PYEVALB packages.

Installation

pip install nltk
pip install scikit-learn
pip install PYEVALB

Arguments

--data_train : - File containing training data (default='sequoia-corpus+fct.mrg_strict')

--data_test : - File containing test data (default='test_data')

--train_eval : - Whether to split the data into train-eval datasets or train on the whole training set.

--train_size : - Ratio of the data to train on, used only with train_eval option (default=0.9)

--output_name : - Name of the output parse file (default='output_parse')

--n_words_formal: - Number of closest words w.r.t formal similarity (default=2)

--n_words : - Number of closest words w.r.t embedding similarity (default=20)

--swap : - Use Damerau-Levenstein distance when true and Levenstein distance otherwise.

--lambd : - Float in [0, 1], the interpolation parameter between bigram and unigram models (default=0.8)

Usage

To use sequoia treebank dataset to train on the first 90% and evaluate on the last 10% use the following command:

python main.py --train_eval --train_size 0.9

Or

bash run.sh --train_eval --train_size 0.9

With the default parameters you will get "output_parse" as the output file name.

To train on the whole sequoia treebank dataset and test on an input file with space-tokenized sentences, use:

python main.py --data_test 'test_data'

Or

bash run.sh --data_test 'test_data'

With the default parameters you will get "output_parse" as the output file name. If you don't specify --data_test it will by default test on 'test_data' file.

Result

You can find the parse result of the last 10% of sequoia treebansk dataset in the file 'evaluation_data.parser_output'
