An implementation of Cross-Language Structural Correspondence Learning (CLSCL). See [Prettenhofer2010] for a detailed description and [Prettenhofer2011] for more experiments and enhancements.
The data for cross-language sentiment classification that has been used in the above study can be found here [2].
Training script for CLSCL. See ./clscl_train --help for further details.

$ ./clscl_train en de cls-acl10-processed/en/books/train.processed cls-acl10-processed/en/books/unlabeled.processed cls-acl10-processed/de/books/unlabeled.processed cls-acl10-processed/dict/en_de_dict.txt model.bz2 --phi 30 --max-unlabeled=50000 -k 100 -m 450 --strategy=parallel |V_S| = 64682 |V_T| = 106024 |V| = 170706 |s_train| = 2000 |s_unlabeled| = 50000 |t_unlabeled| = 50000 debug: DictTranslator contains 5012 translations. mutualinformation took 5.624 sec select_pivots took 7.197 sec |pivots| = 450 create_inverted_index took 59.353 sec Run joblib.Parallel [Parallel(n_jobs=-1)]: Done 1 out of 450 |elapsed: 9.1s remaining: 67.8min [Parallel(n_jobs=-1)]: Done 5 out of 450 |elapsed: 15.2s remaining: 22.6min [..] [Parallel(n_jobs=-1)]: Done 449 out of 450 |elapsed: 14.5min remaining: 1.9s train_aux_classifiers took 881.803 sec density: 0.1154 Ut.shape = (100,170706) learn took 903.588 sec project took 175.483 sec
Note
If you have access to a hadoop cluster, you can use --strategy=hadoop to train the pivot classifiers even faster, however, make sure that the hadoop nodes have Bolt (feature-mask branch) [3] installed.

A simple greedy left-to-right sequence labeling approach to named entity recognition (NER).
We provide pre-trained named entity recognizers for place, person, and organization names in English and German. To tag a sentence simply use:
>>> from nut.io import compressed_load
>>> from nut.util import WordTokenizer
>>> tagger = compressed_load("model_demo_en.bz2")
>>> tokenizer = WordTokenizer()
>>> tokens = tokenizer.tokenize("Peter Prettenhofer lives in Austria .")
>>> # see tagger.tag.__doc__ for input format
>>> sent = [((token, "", ""), "") for token in tokens]
>>> g = tagger.tag(sent) # returns a generator over tags
>>> print(" ".join(["/".join(tt) for tt in zip(tokens, g)]))
Peter/B-PER Prettenhofer/I-PER lives/O in/O Austria/B-LOC ./O
You can also use the convenience demo script ner_demo.py:
$ python ner_demo.py model_en_v1.bz2
The feature detector modules for the pre-trained models are en_best_v1.py and de_best_v1.py and can be found in the package nut.ner.features. In addition to baseline features (word presence, shape, pre-/suffixes) they use distributional features (brown clusters), non-local features (extended prediction history), and gazetteers (see [Ratinov2009]). The models have been trained on CoNLL03 [4]. Both models use neither syntactic features (e.g. part-of-speech tags, chunks) nor word lemmas, thus, minimizing the required pre-processing. Both models provide state-of-the-art performance on the CoNLL03 shared task benchmark for English [Ratinov2009]:
processed 46435 tokens with 4946 phrases; found: 4864 phrases; correct: 4455.
accuracy: 98.01%; precision: 91.59%; recall: 90.07%; FB1: 90.83
LOC: precision: 91.69%; recall: 90.53%; FB1: 91.11 1648

PER: precision: 95.84%; recall: 94.06%; FB1: 94.94 1586
and German [Faruqui2010]:
processed 51943 tokens with 2845 phrases; found: 2438 phrases; correct: 2168.
accuracy: 97.92%; precision: 88.93%; recall: 76.20%; FB1: 82.07

PER: precision: 93.00%; recall: 78.02%; FB1: 84.85 1015
To evaluate the German model on the out-domain data provided by [Faruqui2010] use the raw flag (-r) to write raw predictions (without B- and I- prefixes):
./ner_predict -r model_de_v1.bz2 clner/de/europarl/test.conll - | clner/scripts/conlleval -r
loading tagger... [done]
use_eph: True
use_aso: False
processed input in 40.9214s sec.
processed 110405 tokens with 2112 phrases; found: 2930 phrases; correct: 1676.
accuracy: 98.50%; precision: 57.20%; recall: 79.36%; FB1: 66.48
LOC: precision: 91.47%; recall: 71.13%; FB1: 80.03 563

PER: precision: 62.10%; recall: 83.85%; FB1: 71.36 694
Note that the above results cannot be compared directly to the resuls of [Faruqui2010] since they use a slighly different setting (incl. MISC entity).
Training script for NER. See ./ner_train --help for further details.
To train a conditional markov model with a greedy left-to-right decoder, the feature templates of [Rationov2009]_ and extended prediction history (see [Ratinov2009]) use:
./ner_train clner/en/conll03/train.iob2 model_rr09.bz2 -f rr09 -r 0.00001 -E 100 --shuffle --eph ________________________________________________________________________________ Feature extraction min count: 1 use eph: True build_vocabulary took 24.662 sec feature_extraction took 25.626 sec creating training examples... build_examples took 42.998 sec [done] ________________________________________________________________________________ Training num examples: 203621 num features: 553249 num classes: 9 classes: ['I-LOC', 'B-ORG', 'O', 'B-PER', 'I-PER', 'I-MISC', 'B-MISC', 'I-ORG', 'B-LOC'] reg: 0.00001000 epochs: 100 9 models trained in 239.28 seconds. train took 282.374 sec
You can use the prediction script to tag new sentences formatted in CoNLL format and write the output to a file or to stdout. You can pipe the output directly to conlleval to assess the model performance:
./ner_predict model_rr09.bz2 clner/en/conll03/test.iob2 - | clner/scripts/conlleval

- If you copy a new version of bolt into the externals directory make sure to run cython on the *.pyx files. If you fail to do so you will get a PickleError in multiprocessing.
