Frog for Python

This is a Python binding to the Natural Language Processing suite Frog. Frog is intended for Dutch and performs part-of-speech tagging, lemmatisation, morphological analysis, named entity recognition, shallow parsing, and dependency parsing. The tool itseelf is implemented in C++ (http://ilk.uvt.nl/frog).

Installation

Easy

For easy installation, please use our LaMachine distribution (https://proycon.github.io/LaMachine).

Manual

• Make sure to first install Frog itself (https://languagemachines.github.io/frog) and all its dependencies
• Install Cython if not yet available on your system: $ sudo apt-get cython cython3 (Debian/Ubuntu, may differ for others)
• Run: $ sudo python setup.py install

Usage

Example:

from __future__ import print_function, unicode_literals #to make this work on Python 2 as well as Python 3

import frog

frog = frog.Frog(frog.FrogOptions(parser=False), "/etc/frog/frog.cfg") output = frog.process_raw("Dit is een test") print("RAW OUTPUT=",output) output = frog.process("Dit is nog een test.") print("PARSED OUTPUT=",output)

Output:

Available keyword arguments for FrogOptions:

• tok - True/False - Do tokenisation? (default: True)
• lemma - True/False - Do lemmatisation? (default: True)
• morph - True/False - Do morpholigical analysis? (default: True)
• daringmorph - True/False - Do morphological analysis in new experimental style? (default: False)
