# Usage (Python)

## Tokenizer and Detokenizer

```python
>>> from sacremoses import MosesTokenizer, MosesDetokenizer
>>> mt = MosesTokenizer(lang='en')
>>> text = 'This, is a sentence with weird\xbb symbols\u2026 appearing everywhere\xbf'
>>> expected_tokenized = 'This , is a sentence with weird \xbb symbols \u2026 appearing everywhere \xbf'
>>> tokenized_text = mt.tokenize(text, return_str=True)
>>> tokenized_text == expected_tokenized
True


>>> mt, md = MosesTokenizer(lang='en'), MosesDetokenizer(lang='en')
>>> sent = "This ain't funny. It's actually hillarious, yet double Ls. | [] < > [ ] & You're gonna shake it off? Don't?"
>>> expected_tokens = ['This', 'ain', '&apos;t', 'funny', '.', 'It', '&apos;s', 'actually', 'hillarious', ',', 'yet', 'double', 'Ls', '.', '&#124;', '&#91;', '&#93;', '&lt;', '&gt;', '&#91;', '&#93;', '&amp;', 'You', '&apos;re', 'gonna', 'shake', 'it', 'off', '?', 'Don', '&apos;t', '?']
>>> expected_detokens = "This ain't funny. It's actually hillarious, yet double Ls. | [] < > [] & You're gonna shake it off? Don't?"
>>> mt.tokenize(sent) == expected_tokens
True
>>> md.detokenize(tokens) == expected_detokens
True
```


## Truecaser

```python
>>> from sacremoses import MosesTruecaser, MosesTokenizer

# Train a new truecaser from a 'big.txt' file.
>>> mtr = MosesTruecaser()
>>> mtok = MosesTokenizer(lang='en')

# Save the truecase model to 'big.truecasemodel' using `save_to`
>> tokenized_docs = [mtok.tokenize(line) for line in open('big.txt')]
>>> mtr.train(tokenized_docs, save_to='big.truecasemodel')

# Save the truecase model to 'big.truecasemodel' after training
# (just in case you forgot to use `save_to`)
>>> mtr = MosesTruecaser()
>>> mtr.train('big.txt')
>>> mtr.save_model('big.truecasemodel')

# Truecase a string after training a model.
>>> mtr = MosesTruecaser()
>>> mtr.train('big.txt')
>>> mtr.truecase("THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES")
['the', 'adventures', 'of', 'Sherlock', 'Holmes']

# Loads a model and truecase a string using trained model.
>>> mtr = MosesTruecaser('big.truecasemodel')
>>> mtr.truecase("THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES")
['the', 'adventures', 'of', 'Sherlock', 'Holmes']
>>> mtr.truecase("THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES", use_known=True)
['the', 'ADVENTURES', 'OF', 'SHERLOCK', 'HOLMES']
>>> mtr.truecase("THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES", return_str=True)
'the adventures of Sherlock Holmes'
```

## Normalizer

```python
>>> from sacremoses import MosesPunctNormalizer
>>> mpn = MosesPunctNormalizer()
>>> mpn.normalize('THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS."')
'THIS EBOOK IS OTHERWISE PROVIDED TO YOU "AS-IS."'
```

# Usage (CLI)

Since version `0.0.42`, the pipeline feature for CLI is introduced, thus there
are global options that should be set first before calling the commands:

 - language
 - processes
 - encoding
 - quiet

```shell
$ pip install -U sacremoses>=0.1

$ sacremoses --help
Usage: sacremoses [OPTIONS] COMMAND1 [ARGS]... [COMMAND2 [ARGS]...]...

Options:
  -l, --language TEXT      Use language specific rules when tokenizing
  -j, --processes INTEGER  No. of processes.
  -e, --encoding TEXT      Specify encoding of file.
  -q, --quiet              Disable progress bar.
  --version                Show the version and exit.
  -h, --help               Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  detokenize
  detruecase
  normalize
  tokenize
  train-truecase
  truecase
```

## Pipeline

Example to chain the following commands:

 - `normalize` with `-c` option to remove control characters.
 - `tokenize` with `-a` option for aggressive dash split rules.
 - `truecase` with `-a` option to indicate that model is for ASR 
   - if `big.truemodel` exists, load the model with `-m` option,
   - otherwise train a model and save it with `-m` option to `big.truemodel` file.
 - save the output to console to the `big.txt.norm.tok.true` file.

```shell
cat big.txt | sacremoses -l en -j 4 \
    normalize -c tokenize -a truecase -a -m big.truemodel \
    > big.txt.norm.tok.true
```
