Package: uniparser-udmurt
Udmurt morphological analyzerThis is a rule-based morphological analyzer for Udmurt (udm; Uralic > Permic). It is based on a formalized description of literary Udmurt morphology, which also includes a number of dialectal elements, and usesuniparser-morphfor parsing. It performs full morphological analysis of Udmurt words (lemmatization, POS tagging, grammatical tagging, glossing).How to usePython packageThe analyzer is available as a Python package. If you want to analyze Udmurt texts in Python, install the module:pip3 install uniparser-udmurtImport the module and create an instance ofUdmurtAnalyzerclass. Setmode='strict'if you are going to process text in standard orthography, ormode='nodiacritics'if you expect some words to lack the diacritics (which often happens in social media). After that, you can either parse tokens or lists of tokens withanalyze_words(), or parse a frequency list withanalyze_wordlist(). Here is a simple example:fromuniparser_udmurtimportUdmurtAnalyzera=UdmurtAnalyzer(mode='strict')analyses=a.analyze_words('Морфологиез')# The parser is initialized before first use, so expect# some delay here (usually several seconds)# You will get a list of Wordform objects# The analysis attributes are stored in its properties# as string values, e.g.:foranainanalyses:print(ana.wf,ana.lemma,ana.gramm,ana.gloss)# You can also pass lists (even nested lists) and specify# output format ('xml' or 'json')# If you pass a list, you will get a list of analyses# with the same structureanalyses=a.analyze_words([['А'],['Мон','тонэ','яратӥсько','.']],format='xml')analyses=a.analyze_words(['Морфологиез',[['А'],['Мон','тонэ','яратӥсько','.']]],format='json')Refer to theuniparser-morph documentationfor the full list of options.DisambiguationApart from the analyzer, this repository contains a set ofConstraint Grammarrules that can be used for partial disambiguation of analyzed Udmurt texts. They reduce the average number of different analyses per analyzed token from about 1.6 to about 1.3. If you want to use them, setdisambiguation=Truewhen callinganalyze_words:analyses=a.analyze_words(['Мон','тонэ','яратӥсько'],disambiguate=True)In order for this to work, you have to install thecg3executable separately. On Ubuntu/Debian, you can useapt-get:sudo apt-get install cg3On Windows, download the binary and add the path to thePATHenvironment variable. Seethe documentationfor other options.Note that each time you callanalyze_words()withdisambiguate=True, the CG grammar is loaded and compiled from scratch, which makes the analysis even slower. If you are analyzing a large text, it would make sense to pass the entire text contents in a single function call rather than do it sentence-by-sentence, for optimal performance.Word listsAlternatively, you can use a preprocessed word list. Thewordlistsdirectory contains a list of words from a 10-million-wordUdmurt corpus(wordlist.csv), list of analyzed tokens (wordlist_analyzed.txt; each line contains all possible analyses for one word in an XML format), and list of tokens the parser could not analyze (wordlist_unanalyzed.txt). The recall of the analyzer on the corpus texts is about 96% and the corpus is sufficiently large, so if you just use the analyzed word list, the recall on your texts will almost definitely exceed 90%.Description formatThe description is carried out in theuniparser-morphformat and involves a description of the inflection (paradigms.txt), a grammatical dictionary (udm_lexemes_XXX.txt files), a list of rules that annotate combinations of lexemes and grammatical values with additional Russian translations (lex_rules.txt), and a short list of analyses that should be avoided (bad_analyses.txt). The dictionary contains descriptions of individual lexemes, each of which is accompanied by information about its stem, its part-of-speech tag and some other grammatical/borrowing information, its inflectional type (paradigm), and Russian translation.
