IWNLP-py is a Python port of IWNLP.Lemmatizer. IWNLP-py offers a lemmatization of German words based on the German Wiktionary which is processed by IWNLP.
- Use pip to install iwnlp
pip install iwnlp- Download the latest processed IWNLP dump from https://dbs.cs.uni-duesseldorf.de/datasets/iwnlp/IWNLP.Lemmatizer_20181001.zip and unzip it.
The Python package consists of the IWNLPWrapper class. Keep in mind that the lemmatizer will return None for unknown words rather than guessing a lemma. If more than one lemma is found, all lemmas are returned. In order to lemmatize single words, you can choose between two functions:
- lemmatize: If you have access to POS tags of your words, you should use this function. The POS tagset is Google's universal POS tagset. The lemmatization performance is tuned to be as high as possible, as listed here. Our paper describes our approach in more detail. Keep in mind, that our results have improved a lot over the last two years.
def lemmatize(self, word, pos_universal_google)Usage:
from iwnlp.iwnlp_wrapper import IWNLPWrapper
lemmatizer = IWNLPWrapper(lemmatizer_path='data/IWNLP.Lemmatizer_20181001.json')
lemmatizer.lemmatize('Lkws', pos_universal_google='NOUN')
# ['Lkw']
lemmatizer.lemmatize('Onlineauftritten', pos_universal_google='NOUN')
# ['Onlineauftritt']
lemmatizer.lemmatize('gespielt', pos_universal_google='VERB')
# ['spielen']- lemmatize: If you don't have access to POS tags or don't want to use them you can simply pass the word without any POS tag and retrieve any lemma that is present in IWNLP. You may also specify if you want the lookup to be case sensitive, which it is by default.
def lemmatize_plain(self, word, ignore_case=False):Usage:
from iwnlp.iwnlp_wrapper import IWNLPWrapper
lemmatizer = IWNLPWrapper(lemmatizer_path='data/IWNLP.Lemmatizer_20181001.json')
lemmatizer.lemmatize_plain('birne')
# no result since the noun is lowercased
lemmatizer.lemmatize_plain('birne', ignore_case=True)
# ['Birne']
lemmatizer.lemmatize_plain('zerstreut', ignore_case=True)
# ['zerstreut', 'zerstreuen']Please include the following BibTeX if you use IWNLP in your work:
