== Architecture ==


== Testing ==
<p>1. The labeller takes a string in Apertium stream format with morphological tags:</p>


== To do ==
<blockquote>
'''* Add an ability to handle more than one sentence.'''
^vino<n><m><sg>$ = INPUT
* Do more tests. MORE.
</blockquote>
* Write docstrings and refactore the main code.

* Take the trash out of the github repository before the final evaluation.
<p>2. Parses it into a sequence of morphological tags:</p>
* Continue improving the perfomance of the models.

<blockquote><n><m><sg>
</blockquote>

<p>3. Restores the model for this language (which is in the same directory and looks like .json file or like a .pkl file)</p>

<p>4. The algorithm analyzes the string and gives a sequence of syntactic tags as an output.</p>
<blockquote>
<@nsubj>
</blockquote>
<p>5. The labeller applies given labels to the original string:</p>
<blockquote>^vino<n><m><sg><@nsubj>$ = OUTPUT
</blockquote>
<p></p>
<p> So, in the end there will be a module itself and a file with a model. </p>

== Progress ==
'''Week 1:''' Datasets for North Sami were created.
* Some tags in the original corpus were replaced with Apertium North Sami tags (like here: https://victorio.uit.no/langtech/trunk/langs/sme/tools/mt/apertium/tagsets/modify-tags.regex).
* Some tags were removed from the original corpus as irrelevant: ABBR, ACR, Allegro, G3, G7, <ext>, Foc_, Qst.
* In cases when there were two lines with analysis for one word, only one analysis has been left.
* Information about derivation was removed too.
* Special "fake" syntactical functions were added for CLB and PUNCT: @CLB and @PUNCT.
* Two types of datasets were created: the first type contains tags for punctuation and clause boundaries and the second does not.

'''Weeks 2-3:''' Datasets for Kazakh, Breton and English were created.

NB: the datasets for North Sami and English seem to be pretty big, when Kazakh is comparably small and Breton is even smaller. But it gives us opportunity to check how many data will be enough for training the labeller and is it possible to achieve pretty good results having very small amount of data (like in case of Breton)
* All dependency treebanks were "flattened": words with the @conj and the @parataxis relation took the label of their head (https://github.com/deltamachine/wannabe_hackerman/blob/master/flatten_conllu.py).
* For all languages two types of datasets were created: the first type contains tags for punctuation and the second does not.
* ''Kazakh''
** some mistakes in conllu file were corrected
** double lines were removed
* ''English''
** double lines were removed
** all UD POS and features tags were replaced with Apertium tags
* ''Breton''
** some mistakes in conllu file were corrected
** double lines were removed
** all UD features tags were replaced with Apertium tags

'''Week 4:''' Scripts for converting Kazakh, Breton and English UD-treebanks in Apertium stream format were written

'''Weeks 5-6:'''
Two types of networks were built: a simple RNN network and an encoder-decoder network with attentive mechanism.
It seems that simple RNN shows better results in all our cases. Encoder-decoder network shows acceptable results only
on very big datasets, like English dataset, but in case of small corpus, like Breton, it is useless, and simple RNN can work with small datasets.

'''Weeks 7-8:'''
What new was created:
* New datasets (tokens + tags instead of just tags)
* Word2vec and fastText embeddings

Fasttext embeddings helped to improve accuracy of Kazakh model on 10% and accuracy of English model on 3%.
Current results: 76% for Breton, 78% for Kazakh, 82% for North Sami and 80% for English.
However, models are still need to be improved somehow.

Testing

To do

* Add an ability to handle more than one sentence.

  • Do more tests. MORE.
  • Write docstrings and refactore the main code.
  • Take the trash out of the github repository before the final evaluation.
  • Continue improving the perfomance of the models.
