ccat

Convert corpus format xml to clean text.

ccat has three usage modes, print to stdout the content of:

Printing content of converted files to stdout

To print out all sme content of all the converted files found in $GTFREE/converted/sme/admin and its subdirectories, issue the command:

ccat -a -l sme $GTFREE/converted/sme/admin

It is also possible to print a file at a time:

ccat -a -l sme $GTFREE/converted/sme/admin/sd/other_files/vl_05_1.doc.xml

To print out the content of e.g. all converted pdf files found in a directory and its subdirectories, issue this command:

find converted/sme/science/ -name "*.pdf.xml" | xargs ccat -a -l sme

Printing content of analysed files to stdout

The analysed files produced by analyse_corpus contain among other one dependency element and one disambiguation element, that contain the dependency and disambiguation analysis of the original files content.

ccat -dis sda/sda_2006_1_aikio1.pdf.xml

Prints the content of the disambiguation element.

ccat -dep sda/sda_2006_1_aikio1.pdf.xml

Prints the content of the dependency element.

The usage pattern for printing these elements is otherwise the same as printing the content of converted files.

Printing dependency elements

ccat -dep $GTFREE/analysed/sme/admin
ccat -dep $GTFREE/analysed/sme/admin/sd/other_files/vl_05_1.doc.xml
find analysed/sme/science/ -name "*.pdf.xml" | xargs ccat -dep

Printing disambiguation elements

ccat -dis $GTFREE/analysed/sme/admin
ccat -dis $GTFREE/analysed/sme/admin/sd/other_files/vl_05_1.doc.xml
find analysed/sme/science/ -name "*.pdf.xml" | xargs ccat -dis

Printing errormarkup content

This usage mode is used in the speller tests. Examples of this usage pattern is found in the make files in $GTBIG/prooftools.

convert2xml

Convert original files in a corpus to giellatekno/divvun xml format.

convert2xml depends on these external programs:

as well as various files from the Divvun/Giellatekno SVN, at least the following files/directories need to exist under $GTHOME:

Usage

Convert all files in the directory $GTFREE/orig/sme and its subdirectories.

convert2xml $GTFREE/orig/sme

The converted files are placed in $GTFREE/converted/sme with the same directory structure as that in $GTFREE/orig/sme.

Convert only one file:

convert2xml $GTFREE/orig/sme/admin/sd/file1.html

The converted file is found in $GTFREE/orig/sme/admin/sd/file1.htm.xml

Convert all sme files in directories ending with corpus

convert2xml *corpus/orig/sme

If convert2xml is not able to convert a file these kinds of message will appear:

/home/boerre/Dokumenter/corpus/freecorpus/orig/eng/admin/depts/regjeringen.no/calendar-for-the-ministry-of-children-an.html_id=308

A log file will be found in

/home/boerre/Dokumenter/corpus/freecorpus/orig/eng/admin/depts/regjeringen.no/calendar-for-the-ministry-of-children-an.html_id=308.log

                        this argument is used files will be converted one by
                        one.
  --lazy-conversion     Reconvert only if metadata have changed.
  --write-intermediate  Write the intermediate XML representation to
                        ORIGFILE.im.xml, for debugging the XSLT. (Has no
                        effect if the converted file already exists.)
  --goldstandard        Convert goldstandard and .correct files

Source code

analyse_corpus

Analyse converted corpus files.

analyse_corpus depends on these external programs:

Usage

To be able to use this program you must either use the nightly giella packages or build the needed resources for the supported languages (exchange “sma” with “sme, smj” ad lib):

cd $GTHOME/langs/sma

Configure the language, use at least these to options --prefix=$HOME/.local --with-hfst --enable-tokenisers

./configure --prefix=$HOME/.local --with-hfst --enable-tokenisers ## add your own flags to taste
make install

Then you must convert the corpus files as explained in the convert2xml section.

When this is done you can analyse all files in the directory $GTFREE/converted/sme (and sma, smj) and its subdirectories by issuing this command:

analyse_corpus -k hfst sme$GTFREE/converted/sme

The analysed file will be found in $GTFREE/analysed/sme

To analyse only one file, issue this command:

analyse_corpus -k hfst --serial sme $GTFREE/converted/sme/file.html.xml

The complete help text from the program:

usage: analyse_corpus [-h] [--version] [--serial]
                      [-k {hfst,xfst,trace-smegram}]
                      lang converted_dirs [converted_dirs ...]


Analyse files found in the given directories for the given language using
multiple parallel processes.


positional arguments:
  lang                  lang which should be analysed
  converted_dirs        director(y|ies) where the converted files exist


optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  --serial              When this argument is used files will be analysed one
                        by one.
  -k {hfst,xfst,trace-smegram}, --fstkit {hfst,xfst,trace-smegram}
                        Finite State Toolkit. Either hfst or xfst (the
                        default).

                           [-d DIRECTORY]
                           origs [origs ...]


Add file(s) to a corpus directory. The filenames are converted to ascii only
names. Metadata files containing the original name, the main language, the
genre and possibly parallel files are also made. The files are added to the
working copy.


positional arguments:
  origs                 The original files, urls or directories where the
                        original files reside (not in svn)

                        Path to an existing file in the corpus that will be
                        parallel to the orig that is about to be added
  -l LANG, --lang LANG  Language of the file to be added


no_parallel:
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory DIRECTORY
                        The directory where the origs should be placed

Examples: Download and add parallel files from the net to the corpus:

cd $GTFREE

Adding the first file

The command add_files_to_corpus -d orig/sme/admin/sd/other_files http://www.samediggi.no/content/download/5407/50892/version/2/file/Sametingets+%C3%A5rsmelding+2013+-+nordsamisk.pdf

Gives the message: Added orig/sme/admin/sd/other_files/sametingets_ay-rsmelding_2013_-_nordsamisk.pdf

Adding the parallel file

add_files_to_corpus -p orig/sme/admin/sd/other_files/sametingets_ay-rsmelding_2013_-_nordsamisk.pdf -l nob http://www.samediggi.no/content/download/5406/50888/version/2/file/Sametingets+%C3%A5rsmelding+2013+-+norsk.pdf

Gives the message: Added orig/nob/admin/sd/other_files/sametingets_ay-rsmelding_2013_-_norsk.pdf

After this is done, you will have to commit the files to the working copy, like this:

svn ci orig

Source code

parallelize

Parallelize parallel corpus files, write the results to .tmx and .txm.html files.

NB! When debugging alignment, use reparallelize, it reconverts all files and realigns the file anew.

parallelize depends on various files from the Divvun/Giellatekno SVN, at least the following directories need to exist in $GTHOME:

It also requires Java if you wish to use the default (included) alignment program TCA2. For convenience, a pre-compiled version of TCA2’s alignment.jar-file is included in SVN and installed by CorpusTools, but if you have ant installed, you can recompile it by simply typing “ant” in corpustools/tca2.

Alternatively, you can align with Hunalign, if you have that installed (or don’t have Java). Hunalign is faster, and the quality is less dependent on predefined dictionaries (though it can use those as well). Neither system gives perfect alignments.

By default, it uses the $GTHOME/gt/common/src/anchor.txt file as an anchor dictionary for alignment. If your language pair is not in this dictionary, you can provide your own with the –dict argument. If you do not have a dictionary, you can use “–dict=<(echo)” to provide an “empty” dictionary – in this case, you should also use “–aligner=hunalign”.

Compile dependencies

XXX is one of the languages in $GTHOME/langs.

    cd $GTHOME/langs/XXX
    ./configure --prefix="$HOME"/.local \
                --with-hfst \
                --enable-abbr \
                --enable-tokenisers \
                --enable-reversed-intersect \
                --enable-alignment
    make
    make install

To prepare for parallelising e.g. nob and sme files, do the following:

for LANG in sme nob ## Replace sme and nob by languages for your own needs
do
    cd $GTHOME/langs/$LANG
    ./configure --prefix="$HOME"/.local \
                --with-hfst \
                --enable-abbr \
                --enable-tokenisers \
                --enable-reversed-intersect \
                --enable-alignment
    make
    make install
done

The complete help text from the program is as follows:

usage: parallelize [-h] [--version] [-s] [-f] [-q] [-a {hunalign,tca2}]
                   [-d DICT] -l2 LANG2
                   sources [sources ...]


Sentence align file pairs.


positional arguments:
  sources               Files or directories to search for parallelisable
                        files


optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -s, --stdout          Whether output of the parallelisation should be
                        written to stdout or a files. Defaults to
                        tmx/{lang1}2{lang2}/{GENRE}/.../{BASENAME}.tmx
  -f, --force           Overwrite output file if it already exists.This is the
                        default.
  -q, --quiet           Don't mention anything out of the ordinary.
  -a {hunalign,tca2}, --aligner {hunalign,tca2}
                        Either hunalign or tca2 (the default).
  -d DICT, --dict DICT  Use a different bilingual seed dictionary. Must have
                        two columns, with input_file language first, and
                        --parallel_language second, separated by `/'. By
                        default, $GTHOME/gt/common/src/anchor.txt is used, but
                        this file only supports pairings between
                        sme/sma/smj/fin/eng/nob.
  -l2 LANG2, --lang2 LANG2
                        Indicate which language the given file shouldbe
                        parallelised with

You run the program on the files created by convert2xml by running a command with the following syntax:

parallelize -l2 TARGET_LANGUAGE PATH/TO/THE/CONVERTED/SOURCE_LANGUAGE/FILE.xml

for instance, with nob as SOURCE_LANGUAGE and sma as TARGET_LANGUAGE

parallelize -l2 sma converted/nob/admin/ntfk/tsaekeme.html.xml

This will create a file named tmx/nob2sma/admin/ntfk/tsaekeme.html.tmx

If you want to parallelize all your sma files with nob in one go, you can do e.g.

convert2xml orig/{sma,nob}
parallelize -l2 sma converted/nob

The files will end up in corresponding directories under tmx/nob2sma.

parallelize -l2 sma converted/sma/admin/ntfk/tsaekeme.html.xml
Error reading file '/Users/xxx/freecorpus/converted/sma/admin/ntfk/.xml':
failed to load external entity "/Users/xxx/freecorpus/converted/sma/admin/ntfk/.xml"

then you gave nob als l1 but the path to a sma-file as argument.

parallelize -l2 sma converted/nob/admin/ntfk/rup_2013_trykt_versjon.pdf.xml
ERROR: /Users/xxx/gtsvn/langs/nob/tools/preprocess/tokeniser-gramcheck-gt-desc.pmhfst does not exist

you have to recompile the language tool of the respective language (in the example above it is nob) with a different configuration, as in the following example with nob as language to recompile, have a look at the info above on how to compile dependencies

After that you can go back to the directory where you are working with the parallelizing files and try to parallelize the files anew. You might recompile the language tools for ALL the languages you are working with.
