About 'deepnlp'

Deep Learning NLP Pipeline implemented on Tensorflow purely by python. Following the 'simplicity' rule, this project aims to provide an easy python version implementation of NLP pipeline based on Tensorflow platform. It serves the same purpose as Google SyntaxNet but is easier to install, read and extend(purely in python), which also require fewer dependency. (Installing Bazel on my machine is painful...)

  • Part-of-speech (POS)
  • Named-entity-recognition(NER)
  • Planed: Parsing, Automatic Summarization

• Algorithm(Closely following the state-of-Art)

  • Word Segmentation: Linear Chain CRF(conditional-random-field), based on python CRF++ module

  • English: To be released soon.
  • For your Specific Language, you can easily use the shell to train model with the corpus of your language choice.

Installation

• Requirements

  • Tensorflow(>=0.10.0) LSTM module in Tensorflow change a lot since 0.10.0 compared to previous versions
  • CRF++ (>=0.54) Download from: https://taku910.github.io/crfpp/

• Pip

    # windows: tensorflow is not supported on windows right now, so is deepnlp
    # linux, run the script:
    pip install deepnlp

• Download source deepnlp-0.1.2.tar.gz: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/deepnlp

    # linux, run the script:
    tar zxvf deepnlp-0.1.2.tar.gz
    cd deepnlp-0.1.2
    python setup.py install

• Running Test scripts

    # linux, run the script:
    cd test
    python test_segmenter.py
    python test_pipeline.py
    # Check if output is correct

Tutorial

Set Coding 设置编码

#coding=utf-8
import sys
reload(sys)
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')
print sys.getdefaultencoding()

Segmentation

分词模块

import deepnlp.segmenter as segmenter

text = "我爱吃北京烤鸭"
segList = segmenter.seg(text.decode('utf-8')) # python 2: function input: unicode, return unicode
text_seg = " ".join(segList)

print (text.encode('utf-8'))
print (text_seg.encode('utf-8'))

POS

词性标注

import deepnlp.segmenter as segmenter
import deepnlp.pos_tagger as pos_tagger

#Segmentation
text = "我爱吃北京烤鸭"
words = segmenter.seg(text.decode('utf-8'))  # chinese characters are using unicode in python 2.7
print (" ".join(words).encode('utf-8'))

#POS Tagging
tagging = pos_tagger.predict(words)
for (w,t) in tagging:
    str = w + "/" + t
    print (str.encode('utf-8'))

NER

命名实体识别

import deepnlp.segmenter as segmenter
import deepnlp.ner_tagger as ner_tagger

#Segmentation
text = "我爱吃北京烤鸭"
words = segmenter.seg(text.decode('utf-8'))
print (" ".join(words).encode('utf-8'))

#NER tagging
tagging = ner_tagger.predict(words)
for (w,t) in tagging:
    str = w + "/" + t
    print (str.encode('utf-8'))

Pipeline

import deepnlp.pipeline as p

#Segmentation
text = "我爱吃北京烤鸭"
res = p.analyze(text.decode('utf-8'))

print (res[0].encode('utf-8'))
print (res[1].encode('utf-8'))
print (res[2].encode('utf-8'))

Train your model

自己训练模型 ###Segment model Install CRF++ 0.58 Follow the instructions https://taku910.github.io/crfpp/#download

Folder Structure

/deepnlp
./segment
..data_util.py
..train_crf.sh
../data
...template
...train.txt
...train_word_tag.txt

Prepare corpus

Split your data into train.txt and test.txt with format of one sentence per each line: "word1 word2 ...". Put train.txt and test.txt under folder ../deepnlp/segment/data Run data_util.py to convert data file to word_tag format and get train_word_tag.txt; For Chinese, we are using 4 tags representing: 'B' Begnning , 'M' Middle, 'E' End and 'S' Single Char

我 'S'
喜 'B'
欢 'E'
...

python data_util.py train.txt train_word_tag.txt

Define template file needed by CRF++

Sample Template file is included in the package You can specift the unigram and bigram feature template needed by CRF++

Train model using CRF++ module

# Train Model Using CRF++ command
crf_learn -f 3 -c 4.0 ${LOCAL_PATH}/data/template ${LOCAL_PATH}/data/train_word_tag.txt crf_model

###POS model

Folder Structure

/deepnlp
./pos
..pos_model.py
..reader.py
../data
...train.txt
...dev.txt
...test.txt
../ckpt

Prepare corpus

First, prepare your corpus and split into 3 files: 'train.txt', 'dev.txt', 'test.txt'. Each line in the file represents one annotated sentence, in this format: "word1/tag1 word2/tag2 ...", separated by white space.

#train.txt
#English:
POS/NN tagging/NN is/VBZ now/RB done/VBN in/IN the/DT context/NN of/IN computational/JJ linguistics/NNS ./.

#Chinese:
充满/v  希望/n  的/u  新/a  世纪/n  ——/w  一九九八年/t  新年/t  讲话/n  （/w  附/v  图片/n  １/m  张/q  ）/w  

Specifying data_path

So model can find training data files. Download the source of package and put all three corpus files in the folder ../deepnlp/pos/data you can change data_path setting in reader.py and pos_model.py

Running script

python pos_model.py

Trained model can be found under folder ../deepnlp/pos/ckpt

###NER model

Prepare corpus the same way as POS

Put data files in folder ../deepnlp/ner/data

Running script

python ner_model.py

The trained model can be found under folder ../deepnlp/ner/ckpt
