Prerequisites

Installation

You can install this package from PyPI using pip:

$ [sudo] pip install vncorenlp

For Windows users, please ensure that you run the Command Prompt with admin privileges.

Example Usage

A simple example of how to use vncorenlp:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import logging

from vncorenlp import VnCoreNLP


def simple_usage():
    # Uncomment this line for debugging
    # logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

    vncorenlp_file = r'.../VnCoreNLP-1.0.1/VnCoreNLP-1.0.1.jar'

    sentences = 'VTV đồng ý chia sẻ bản quyền World Cup 2018 cho HTV để khai thác. ' \
                'Nhưng cả hai nhà đài đều phải chờ sự đồng ý của FIFA mới thực hiện được điều này.'

    # Use "with ... as" to close the server automatically
    with VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file) as vncorenlp:
        print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))
        print('POS Tagging:', vncorenlp.pos_tag(sentences))
        print('Named-Entity Recognizing:', vncorenlp.ner(sentences))
        print('Dependency Parsing:', vncorenlp.dep_parse(sentences))
        print('Annotating:', vncorenlp.annotate(sentences))
        print('Language:', vncorenlp.detect_language(sentences))

    # In this way, you have to close the server manually by calling close function
    vncorenlp = VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file)

    print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))
    print('POS Tagging:', vncorenlp.pos_tag(sentences))
    print('Named-Entity Recognizing:', vncorenlp.ner(sentences))
    print('Dependency Parsing:', vncorenlp.dep_parse(sentences))
    print('Annotating:', vncorenlp.annotate(sentences))
    print('Language:', vncorenlp.detect_language(sentences))

    # Do not forget to close the server
    vncorenlp.close()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    simple_usage()

And here is the output:

Use An Existing Server

I highly recommend you to use this approach to save your time when you are debugging your code.

First, you need to start the VnCoreNLPServer using this command:

$ vncorenlp -Xmx2g <VnCoreNLP File> -p 9000 -a "wseg,pos,ner,parse"

The parameter -Xmx2g means that the VM can allocate a maximum of 2 GB for the Heap Space.

And then connect to the server using this code:

# Use the existing server
with VnCoreNLP(address='http://127.0.0.1', port=9000) as vncorenlp:
    ...

Debug

There are 3 ways to enable debugging:

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import logging
import sys

from vncorenlp import VnCoreNLP


# 1. Use the global logger
# logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

def simple_usage():
    vncorenlp_file = r'.../VnCoreNLP-1.0.1/VnCoreNLP-1.0.1.jar'

    sentences = 'VTV đồng ý chia sẻ bản quyền World Cup 2018 cho HTV để khai thác. ' \
                'Nhưng cả hai nhà đài đều phải chờ sự đồng ý của FIFA mới thực hiện được điều này.'

    # Use "with ... as" to close the server automatically
    vncorenlp = VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file)

    # 2. Set up the local logger here
    logger = vncorenlp.logger
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    # Add stdout
    ch = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
    ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    # Add formatter
    formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
    ch.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(ch)

    with vncorenlp:
        print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))
        print('POS Tagging:', vncorenlp.pos_tag(sentences))
        print('Named-Entity Recognizing:', vncorenlp.ner(sentences))
        print('Dependency Parsing:', vncorenlp.dep_parse(sentences))
        print('Annotating:', vncorenlp.annotate(sentences))
        print('Language:', vncorenlp.detect_language(sentences))

    # In this way, you have to close the server manually by calling close function
    vncorenlp = VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file)

    # 3. Set up the local logger here
    logger = vncorenlp.logger
    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    # Add stdout
    ch = logging.StreamHandler(sys.stdout)
    ch.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
    # Add formatter
    formatter = logging.Formatter('%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
    ch.setFormatter(formatter)
    logger.addHandler(ch)

    print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))
    print('POS Tagging:', vncorenlp.pos_tag(sentences))
    print('Named-Entity Recognizing:', vncorenlp.ner(sentences))
    print('Dependency Parsing:', vncorenlp.dep_parse(sentences))
    print('Annotating:', vncorenlp.annotate(sentences))
    print('Language:', vncorenlp.detect_language(sentences))

    # Do not forget to close the server
    vncorenlp.close()


if __name__ == '__main__':
    simple_usage()

Some Use Cases

#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import logging

from vncorenlp import VnCoreNLP

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)


def simple_usage():
    vncorenlp_file = r'.../VnCoreNLP-1.0.1/VnCoreNLP-1.0.1.jar'

    sentences = 'VTV đồng ý chia sẻ bản quyền World Cup 2018 cho HTV để khai thác. ' \
                'Nhưng cả hai nhà đài đều phải chờ sự đồng ý của FIFA mới thực hiện được điều này.'

    # Use only word segmentation
    with VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file, annotators="wseg") as vncorenlp:
        print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))

    # Specify the maximum heap size
    with VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file, annotators="wseg", max_heap_size='-Xmx4g') as vncorenlp:
        print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))

    # For debugging
    with VnCoreNLP(vncorenlp_file, annotators="wseg", max_heap_size='-Xmx4g', quiet=False) as vncorenlp:
        print('Tokenizing:', vncorenlp.tokenize(sentences))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    simple_usage()
