NOTE: Sacremoses only supports Python 3 now (sacremoses>=0.0.41
). If you're using Python 2, the last possible version is sacremoses==0.0.40
.
Usage (Python)
Tokenizer and Detokenizer
>>> 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', ''t', 'funny', '.', 'It', ''s', 'actually', 'hillarious', ',', 'yet', 'double', 'Ls', '.', '|', '[', ']', '<', '>', '[', ']', '&', 'You', ''re', 'gonna', 'shake', 'it', 'off', '?', 'Don', ''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
>>> 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
>>> 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
$ 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 tobig.truemodel
file.
- if
- save the output to console to the
big.txt.norm.tok.true
file.
cat big.txt | sacremoses -l en -j 4 \
normalize -c tokenize -a truecase -a -m big.truemodel \
> big.txt.norm.tok.true
