clause-boundary

A quite simple, prehistoric rule-based clause boundary detector for Hungarian in perl with an overly complicated software architecture.

According to Kalivoda Ági "it works very well". (2021-05-14)

Published evaluation shows: precision = 83.6 and recall = 86.5

usage

Requirement: perl.

make FILE=vertical

which takes the provided sample file vertical, and creates a clause-per-line output: vertical.clause.

Which should be identical with vertical.clause.BACKUP.

input format

For the required input format see file vertical.

It is an ancient HNC1 inner XML format which contains tsv inside of <s> (sentence) tags. 1st column = wordform; 2nd column = lemma; 3rd column = Hungarian morphological annotation by Humor as it is in HNC1; 4th column to be ignored. Additional bonus: file encoding is iso-8859-2. Sorry...

output format

One-clause-per-line txt.
