NAME¶

apertium-tagger — part-of-speech tagger and trainer for Apertium

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

apertium-tagger is the application responsible for the apertium part-of-speech tagger training or tagging, depending on the calling options. This command only reads from the standard input if the option --tagger or -g is used.

OPTIONS¶

-t n, --train n

Initializes parameters through Kupiec's method (unsupervised), then performs n iterations of the Baum-Welch training algorithm (unsupervised).

-s n, --supervised n

Initializes parameters against a hand-tagged text (supervised) through the maximum likelihood estimate method, then performs n iterations of the Baum-Welch training algorithm (unsupervised). The CRP argument can be omitted only when n = 0.

-r n, --retrain -n

Retrains the model with n additional Baum-Welch iterations (unsupervised).

-g, --tagger

Tags input text by means of Viterbi algorithm.

-p, --show-superficial

Prints the superficial form of the word along side the lexical form in the output stream.

-f, --first

Used in conjunction with -g (--tagger) makes the tagger give all lexical forms of each word, with the chosen one in the first place (after the lemma)

-d, --debug

Print error (if any) or debug messages while operating.

-m, --mark

Mark disambiguated words.

-h, --help

Display a help message.

-z, --null-flush

Used in conjunction with
.Fl g to flush the output after getting each null character.

-u, --unigram=MODEL

use unigram algorithm MODEL from <http://coltekin.net/cagri/papers/trmorph-tools.pdf>

-w, --sliding-window

use the Light Sliding Window algorithm

-x, --perceptron

use the averaged perceptron algorithm

-e, --skip-on-error

Used with Fl xs to ignore certain types of errors with the training corpus

FILES¶

These are the kinds of files used with each option:

dictionary

Full expanded dictionary file

corpus

Training text corpus file

tagger_spec

Tagger specification file, in XML format

serialized_tagger

Tagger data file, built in the training and used while tagging

tagged_corpus

Hand-tagged text corpus

untagged_corpus

Untagged text corpus, morphological analysis of hand-tagged corpus to use both jointly with -s option

input

Input file, stdin by default

output

Output file, stdout by default
