hfst optimised lookup reimplemented in python. Including a wrapper to the original hfst-optimized-lookup

Project description

hfstol

travis-badge code-cov PyPI pyversions

hfst-optimized-lookup in python

pip install hfstol

All below examples are based on two .hfstol files

respectively: crk-descriptive-analyzer.hfstol crk-normative-generator.hfstol

Use

example with crk-descriptive-analyzer.hfstol :

from hfstol import HFSTOL

hfst = HFSTOL.from_file('crk-descriptive-analyzer.hfstol')

hfst.feed('niska')
# returns: 
# (('niska', '+N', '+A', '+Sg'), ('niska', '+N', '+A', '+Obv'))

hfst.feed_in_bulk(['niska', 'kinipânânaw'])
# returns: 
# {'niska': {('niska', '+N', '+A', '+Obv'), ('niska', '+N', '+A', '+Sg')}, 'kinipânânaw': {('nipâw', '+V', '+AI', '+Ind', '+Prs', '+12Pl')}}

hfst.feed_in_bulk_fast(['niska', 'kinipânânaw'], multi_process=4)
# returns:
# {'niska': {'niska+N+A+Obv', 'niska+N+A+Sg'}, 'kinipânânaw': {'nipâw+V+AI+Ind+Prs+12Pl'}}

example with crk-normative-generator.hfstol :

from hfstol import HFSTOL

hfst = HFSTOL.from_file('crk-normative-generator.hfstol')

hfst.feed('niska+N+A+Pl')
# returns: 
# (('niskak',),)

hfst.feed_in_bulk(["niska+N+A+Pl", 'nipâw+V+AI+Ind+Prs+12Pl'])
# returns: 
# {'niska+N+A+Pl': {('niskak',)}, 'nipâw+V+AI+Ind+Prs+12Pl': {('kinipânânaw',), ('kinipânaw',)}}

hfst.feed_in_bulk_fast(["niska+N+A+Pl", 'nipâw+V+AI+Ind+Prs+12Pl'], multi_process=4)
# returns:
# {'niska+N+A+Pl': {'niskak'}, 'nipâw+V+AI+Ind+Prs+12Pl': {'kinipânânaw', 'kinipânaw'}}

    """

To Use feed_in_bulk_fast

feed_in_bulk_fast calls compiled C code, which can be 100 times faster than feed_in_bulk.

It requires hfst-optimized-lookup installed. Version 1.2 is tested to work. For linux system, installing can be as easy as sudo apt install hfst. For other systems see installation guide

If hfst-optimized-lookup is not found, calling feed_in_bulk_fast throws ImportError
