apertium2ud 0.0.1

Converting universal tags to Apertium tags.

apertium2ud

Obtaining the mapping between the two tagsets based on the information from Apertium Wiki.

Loosely based on this code, hence the GPLv3 license.

To build the machine-readable mapping, run

python apertium_wiki_parser.py

UD to Apertium

So far the conversion is far from perfect

Кыз NOUN {'Number[psor]=Sing', 'Number=Sing', 'Case=Nom', 'Person[psor]=3', 'Person=3'} ->
<px3sg><n><subj?nom?><sg><p3><px3sp> 

досуна NOUN {'Number[psor]=Sing', 'Number=Sing', 'Person[psor]=3', 'Case=Dat', 'Person=3'} ->
<px3sg><n><sg><dat><p3><px3sp> 

кат NOUN {'Case=Nom', 'Person=3', 'Number=Sing'} ->
<n><subj?nom?><sg><p3> 

жазган VERB {'Aspect=Perf', 'Polarity=Pos', 'Number=Sing', 'Tense=Past', 'Person=3', 'Evident=Fh'} ->
<past3p><vblex?v?vbmod?><sg><aff><aor?past?pret?><perf><p3> 

. PUNCT set() ->
<sent?apos?percent?clb?punct?> 

TODO

• Should sections chunks and XML tags be added? No.
• Add conversions Apertium -> UD, UD -> Apertium based on the constructed JSON file
• Upload the converter as a package to PyPI
• Tests: Apertium -> UD -> Apertium, UD -> Apertium -> UD (sometimes losses are inevitable)
