Introduction

Recluse (Reproducible Experimentation for Computational Linguistics Use) is a set of tools for running computational linguistics experiments reproducibly.

This version contains

• utils, which has a function for reading and writing unicode with regular or compressed text.

• article_randomiser, which reproducibly randomly divides a corpus into training, development, and test sets.

• nltk_based_segmenter_tokeniser, which does sentence segmentation and word tokenisation. It is optimised for Wikipedia type text, and it has a mode that preserves the untokenised text (modulo extra whitespace).

• vocabulary_generator and the helper class vocabulary_cutter. This wraps srilm as it makes unigram counts, and then selects the most frequent.
