Transition-based UCCA Parser

Project description

TUPA is a transition-based parser for Universal Conceptual Cognitive Annotation (UCCA).

Requirements

  • Python 3.6

Install

Create a Python virtual environment. For example, on Linux:

virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate              # on bash
source venv/bin/activate.csh     # on csh

Install the latest release:

pip install tupa

Alternatively, install the latest code from GitHub (may be unstable):

git clone https://github.com/danielhers/tupa
cd tupa
python setup.py install

Train the parser

Having a directory with UCCA passage files (for example, the English Wiki corpus), run:

python -m tupa -t <train_dir> -d <dev_dir> -c <model_type> -m <model_filename>

The possible model types are sparse, mlp, and bilstm.

Parse a text file

Run the parser on a text file (here named example.txt) using a trained model:

python -m tupa example.txt -m <model_filename>

An xml file will be created per passage (separate by blank lines in the text file).

Pre-trained models

To download and extract a model pre-trained on the Wiki corpus, run:

curl -LO https://github.com/huji-nlp/tupa/releases/download/v1.3.3/ucca-bilstm-1.3.3.tar.gz
tar xvzf ucca-bilstm-1.3.3.tar.gz

Run the parser using the model:

python -m tupa example.txt -m models/ucca-bilstm

Other languages

To get a model pre-trained on the French *20K Leagues* corpus or a model pre-trained on the German *20K Leagues* corpus, run:

curl -LO https://github.com/huji-nlp/tupa/releases/download/v1.3.3/ucca-bilstm-1.3.3-fr.tar.gz
tar xvzf ucca-bilstm-1.3.3-fr.tar.gz
curl -LO https://github.com/huji-nlp/tupa/releases/download/v1.3.3/ucca-bilstm-1.3.3-de.tar.gz
tar xvzf ucca-bilstm-1.3.3-de.tar.gz

Run the parser on a French/German text file (separate passages by blank lines):

python -m tupa exemple.txt -m models/ucca-bilstm-fr --lang fr
python -m tupa beispiel.txt -m models/ucca-bilstm-de --lang de
