crosslingual-coreference 0.2.4

A multi-lingual approach to AllenNLP CoReference Resolution, along with a wrapper for spaCy.

Crosslingual Coreference

Coreference is amazing but the data required for training a model is very scarce. In our case, the available training for non-English languages also proved to be poorly annotated. Crosslingual Coreference, therefore, uses the assumption a trained model with English data and cross-lingual embeddings should work for languages with similar sentence structures.

Install

pip install crosslingual-coreference

Quickstart

from crosslingual_coreference import Predictor

text = (
    "Do not forget about Momofuku Ando! He created instant noodles in Osaka. At"
    " that location, Nissin was founded. Many students survived by eating these"
    " noodles, but they don't even know him."
)

# choose minilm for speed/memory and info_xlm for accuracy
predictor = Predictor(
    language="en_core_web_sm", device=-1, model_name="minilm"
)

print(predictor.predict(text)["resolved_text"])
# Output
#
# Do not forget about Momofuku Ando!
# Momofuku Ando created instant noodles in Osaka.
# At Osaka, Nissin was founded.
# Many students survived by eating instant noodles,
# but Many students don't even know Momofuku Ando.

Chunking/batching to resolve memory OOM errors

from crosslingual_coreference import Predictor

predictor = Predictor(
    language="en_core_web_sm",
    device=0,
    model_name="minilm",
    chunk_size=2500,
    chunk_overlap=2,
)

Use spaCy pipeline

import spacy

import crosslingual_coreference

text = (
    "Do not forget about Momofuku Ando! He created instant noodles in Osaka. At"
    " that location, Nissin was founded. Many students survived by eating these"
    " noodles, but they don't even know him."
)


nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")
nlp.add_pipe(
    "xx_coref", config={"chunk_size": 2500, "chunk_overlap": 2, "device": 0}
)

doc = nlp(text)
print(doc._.coref_clusters)
# Output
#
# [[[4, 5], [7, 7], [27, 27], [36, 36]],
# [[12, 12], [15, 16]],
# [[9, 10], [27, 28]],
# [[22, 23], [31, 31]]]
print(doc._.resolved_text)
# Output
#
# Do not forget about Momofuku Ando!
# Momofuku Ando created instant noodles in Osaka.
# At Osaka, Nissin was founded.
# Many students survived by eating instant noodles,
# but Many students don't even know Momofuku Ando.

Available models

As of now, there are two models available "info_xlm", "xlm_roberta", "minilm", which scored 77, 74 and 74 on OntoNotes Release 5.0 English data, respectively.
