SFST (Stuttgart Finite State Toolkit) is a set of programs that can be used for writing morphological analysers.

Downloading

A packaged version, with the fst-proc program for processing Apertium input streams can be downloaded from Apertium SVN:

$ svn co http://apertium.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/branches/sfst
Compiling

Follow the standard steps:

$ sh autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install

Usage

To try SFST out, you can start by compiling the German transducer, SMOR, that comes with the package:

$ cd data/SMOR
$ make

Wait some time, and you will have a file called morph.a, now you need to compact this so it can be read by fst-proc,

$ fst-compact morph.a morph.ac

Now you can use it,

$ cd ../../src
$ echo "Ich habe ein Bier" |  fst-proc ../data/SMOR/smor.ac
^Ich/<CAP>ich<+PPRO><pers><1><Sg><NoGend><Nom>$ 
^habe/haben<+V><1><Sg><Pres><Konj>/haben<+V><3><Sg><Pres><Konj>/haben<+V><Imp><Sg>/haben<+V><1><Sg><Pres><Ind>$ 
^ein/ein<+ART><Indef><Masc><Nom><Sg>/ein<+ART><Indef><Neut><Nom><Sg>/ein<+ART><Indef><Neut><Akk><Sg>$ ^Bier/*Bier$

It should also work with deformatters and reformatters,

$ echo "Ich habe <em>ein</em> bier" | apertium-deshtml  |  ./fst-proc ../data/SMOR/smor.ac
^Ich/<CAP>ich<+PPRO><pers><1><Sg><NoGend><Nom>$ 
^habe/haben<+V><1><Sg><Pres><Konj>/haben<+V><3><Sg><Pres><Konj>/haben<+V><Imp><Sg>/haben<+V><1><Sg><Pres><Ind>$[ 
<em>]^ein/ein<+ART><Indef><Masc><Nom><Sg>/ein<+ART><Indef><Neut><Nom><Sg>/ein<+ART><Indef><Neut><Akk><Sg>$[<\/em> ]^bier/*bier$.[][

Note: fst-proc currently does a rather crude tokenisation based on spaces, so multiwords currently aren't possible.

Morphologies

SFST has the following morphologies available for download:

Performance

The analysers produced are fast. For a 1.3Mb analyser (SMOR), it processes ~1,100 words per second. Compare with lttoolbox which processes ~5,000 words per second.
