VnCoreNLP is a fast and accurate NLP annotation pipeline for Vietnamese, providing rich linguistic annotations through key NLP components of word segmentation, POS tagging, named entity recognition (NER) and dependency parsing. Users do not have to install external dependencies. Users can run processing pipelines from either the command-line or the API. The general architecture and experimental results of VnCoreNLP can be found in the following related papers:

Please CITE paper [1] whenever VnCoreNLP is used to produce published results or incorporated into other software. If you are dealing in depth with either word segmentation or POS tagging, you are also encouraged to cite paper [2] or [3], respectively.
If you are looking for light-weight versions, VnCoreNLP's word segmentation and POS tagging components have also been released as independent packages RDRsegmenter [2] and VnMarMoT [3], resepectively.

Java 1.8+(Prerequisite) -
File
VnCoreNLP-1.2.jar(27MB) and foldermodels(115MB) are placed in the same working folder. -
Python 3.6+if using a Python wrapper of VnCoreNLP. To install this wrapper, users have to run the following command:$ pip3 install py_vncorenlpA special thanks goes to Linh The Nguyen for creating this wrapper!
import py_vncorenlp
# Automatically download VnCoreNLP components from the original repository
# and save them in some local working folder
py_vncorenlp.download_model(save_dir='/absolute/path/to/vncorenlp')
# Load VnCoreNLP from the local working folder that contains both `VnCoreNLP-1.2.jar` and `models`
model = py_vncorenlp.VnCoreNLP(save_dir='/absolute/path/to/vncorenlp')
# Equivalent to: model = py_vncorenlp.VnCoreNLP(annotators=["wseg", "pos", "ner", "parse"], save_dir='/absolute/path/to/vncorenlp')
# Annotate a raw corpus
model.annotate_file(input_file="/absolute/path/to/input/file", output_file="/absolute/path/to/output/file")
# Annotate a raw text
model.print_out(model.annotate_text("Ông Nguyễn Khắc Chúc đang làm việc tại Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội. Bà Lan, vợ ông Chúc, cũng làm việc tại đây."))By default, the output is formatted with 6 columns representing word index, word form, POS tag, NER label, head index of the current word and its dependency relation type:
1 Ông Nc O 4 sub
2 Nguyễn_Khắc_Chúc Np B-PER 1 nmod
3 đang R O 4 adv
4 làm_việc V O 0 root
5 tại E O 4 loc
6 Đại_học N B-ORG 5 pob
...
For users who use VnCoreNLP only for word segmentation:
rdrsegmenter = py_vncorenlp.VnCoreNLP(annotators=["wseg"], save_dir='/absolute/path/to/vncorenlp')
text = "Ông Nguyễn Khắc Chúc đang làm việc tại Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội. Bà Lan, vợ ông Chúc, cũng làm việc tại đây."
output = rdrsegmenter.word_segment(text)
print(output)
# ['Ông Nguyễn_Khắc_Chúc đang làm_việc tại Đại_học Quốc_gia Hà_Nội .', 'Bà Lan , vợ ông Chúc , cũng làm_việc tại đây .']You can run VnCoreNLP to annotate an input raw text corpus (e.g. a collection of news content) by using following commands:
// To perform word segmentation, POS tagging, NER and then dependency parsing
$ java -Xmx2g -jar VnCoreNLP-1.2.jar -fin input.txt -fout output.txt
// To perform word segmentation, POS tagging and then NER
$ java -Xmx2g -jar VnCoreNLP-1.2.jar -fin input.txt -fout output.txt -annotators wseg,pos,ner
// To perform word segmentation and then POS tagging
$ java -Xmx2g -jar VnCoreNLP-1.2.jar -fin input.txt -fout output.txt -annotators wseg,pos
// To perform word segmentation
$ java -Xmx2g -jar VnCoreNLP-1.2.jar -fin input.txt -fout output.txt -annotators wseg
The following code is a simple and complete example:
import vn.pipeline.*;
import java.io.*;
public class VnCoreNLPExample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
// "wseg", "pos", "ner", and "parse" refer to as word segmentation, POS tagging, NER and dependency parsing, respectively.
String[] annotators = {"wseg", "pos", "ner", "parse"};
VnCoreNLP pipeline = new VnCoreNLP(annotators);
String str = "Ông Nguyễn Khắc Chúc đang làm việc tại Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội. Bà Lan, vợ ông Chúc, cũng làm việc tại đây.";
Annotation annotation = new Annotation(str);
pipeline.annotate(annotation);
System.out.println(annotation.toString());
// 1 Ông Nc O 4 sub
// 2 Nguyễn_Khắc_Chúc Np B-PER 1 nmod
// 3 đang R O 4 adv
// 4 làm_việc V O 0 root
// ...
//Write to file
PrintStream outputPrinter = new PrintStream("output.txt");
pipeline.printToFile(annotation, outputPrinter);
// You can also get a single sentence to analyze individually
Sentence firstSentence = annotation.getSentences().get(0);
System.out.println(firstSentence.toString());
}
}
