Qumin (QUantitative Modelling of INflection) is a package for the computational modelling of the inflectional morphology of languages. It was initially developed for Sacha Beniamine’s PhD dissertation.
Contributors: Sacha Beniamine, Jules Bouton.

The current version was significantly updated since the publications cited below. These updates do not affect results, and focused on bugfixes, command line interface, paralex compatibility, workflow improvement and overall tidyness.
For more detail, you can refer to Sacha’s dissertation (in French, Beniamine 2018).
Quick Start
To install Qumin, run:
pip install quminTo compute patterns and entropies:
qumin action=pred data=<path/to/paralex.package.json>To compute patterns and a lattice of microclasses:
qumin action=lattice data=<path/to/paralex.package.json>For a detailed introduction, you can head to the tutorials. More advance use-cases are handled in the how-to guides. The full reference of command line options is provided with examples:
An API reference is also available for using Qumín functions in python scripts.
