This model identifies complex NPs modified by non-finite nominal clauses ("appositives") in the input sentence.

Try the test sentence:

My name is Sarah and I live in London[,] the capital of England.

Please note that it is necessary for you to highlight the left boundary of the non-finite nominal clause "," using square brackets. When deployed in a text simplification method, this sign tagging step can be performed using the model at https://huggingface.co/RJ3vans/SignTagger.

The model should tag the tokens in the sentence with information about whether or not they are contained within a non-finite nominal "appositive" clause. If you find the model useful, please cite my thesis which presents the dataset used for finetuning:

The model was derived using code adapted from an original program written by Dr. Le An Ha at the University of Wolverhampton.
