Easy-first Parser

Easy-first dependency parser based on Hierarchical Tree LSTMs

The techniques behind the parser are described in the paper Easy-First Dependency Parsing with Hierarchical Tree LSTMs. Further materials could be found here.

Required software

Train a parsing model

The software requires having a training.conll and development.conll files formatted according to the CoNLL data format.

To train a parsing model with for either parsing architecture type the following at the command prompt:

python src/parser.py --outdir [results directory] --train training.conll --dev development.conll [--extrn path_to_external_embeddings_file]

We use the same external embedding used in Transition-Based Dependency Parsing with Stack Long Short-Term Memory which can be downloaded from the authors github repository and directly here.

Note 1: The reported test result is the one matching the highest development score.

Note 2: The parser calculates (after each iteration) the accuracies excluding punctuation symbols by running the eval.pl script from the CoNLL-X Shared Task and stores the results in directory specified by the --outdir.

Note 3: The external embeddings parameter is optional and could be omitted.

Parse data with your parsing model

The command for parsing a test.conll file formatted according to the CoNLL data format with a previously trained model is:

python src/parser.py --predict --outdir [results directory] --test test.conll [--extrn extrn.vectors] --model [trained model file] --params [param file generate during training]

The parser will store the resulting conll file in the out directory (--outdir).
