Training Datasets

UD Japanese BCCWJ r2.8

The parsing model of GiNZA v5 is trained on a part of UD Japanese BCCWJ r2.8 (Omura and Asahara:2018). This model is developed by National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, and Megagon Labs.

GSK2014-A (2019) BCCWJ edition

The named entity recognition model of GiNZA v5 is trained on a part of GSK2014-A (2019) BCCWJ edition (Hashimoto, Inui, and Murakami:2008). We use two of the named entity label systems, both Sekine's Extended Named Entity Hierarchy and extended OntoNotes5. This model is developed by National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, and Megagon Labs.

mC4

The GiNZA v5 Transformers model (jaginzaelectra) is trained by using transformers-ud-japanese-electra-base-discriminator which is pretrained on more than 200 million Japanese sentences extracted from mC4.

Runtime Environment

This project is developed with Python>=3.8 and pip for it. We do not recommend to use Anaconda environment because the pip install step may not work properly.

Please also see the Development Environment section below.

Runtime set up

1. Install GiNZA NLP Library with Transformer-based Model

Uninstall previous version of ginza and jaginzaelectra packages: console $ pip uninstall ginza ja_ginza_electra Then, install the latest version of ginza and ja_ginza_electra: console $ pip install -U ginza ja_ginza_electra

The package of ja_ginza_electra does not include pytorch_model.bin due to PyPI's archive size restrictions. This large model file will be automatically downloaded at the first run time, and the locally cached file will be used for subsequent runs.

If you need to install ja_ginza_electra along with pytorch_model.bin at the install time, you can specify direct link for GitHub release archive as follows: console $ pip install -U ginza https://github.com/megagonlabs/ginza/releases/download/latest/ja_ginza_electra-latest-with-model.tar.gz

If you hope to accelarate the transformers-based models by using GPUs with CUDA support, you can install spacy by specifying the CUDA version as follows: console pip install -U "spacy[cuda117]"

And you need to install a version of pytorch that is consistent with the CUDA version.

2. Install GiNZA NLP Library with Standard Model

Uninstall previous version: console $ pip uninstall ginza ja_ginza Then, install the latest version of ginza and ja_ginza: console $ pip install -U ginza ja_ginza

When using Apple Silicon such as M1 or M2, you can accelerate the analysis process by installing thinc-apple-ops: console $ pip install torch thinc-apple-ops

Execute ginza command

Run ginza command from the console, then input some Japanese text. After pressing enter key, you will get the parsed results with CoNLL-U Syntactic Annotation format. ```console $ ginza 銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。

text = 銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。

`ginzame` command provides tokenization function like [MeCab](https://taku910.github.io/mecab/). The output format of `ginzame` is almost same as `mecab`, but the last `pronunciation` field is always '*'. console $ ginzame 銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。 銀座 名詞,固有名詞,地名,一般,,,銀座,ギンザ,* で 助詞,格助詞,,,,,で,デ,* ランチ 名詞,普通名詞,一般,,,,ランチ,ランチ, を 助詞,格助詞,,,,,を,ヲ,* ご 接頭辞,,,,,,御,ゴ, 一緒 名詞,普通名詞,サ変可能,,,,一緒,イッショ, し 動詞,非自立可能,,,サ行変格,連用形-一般,為る,シ,* ましょう 助動詞,,,,助動詞-マス,意志推量形,ます,マショウ, 。 補助記号,句点,,,,,。,。,* EOS

The format of spaCy's JSON is available by specifying `-f 3` or `-f json` for `ginza` command. console $ ginza -f json 銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。 [ { "paragraphs": [ { "raw": "銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。", "sentences": [ { "tokens": [ {"id": 1, "orth": "銀座", "tag": "名詞-固有名詞-地名-一般", "pos": "PROPN", "lemma": "銀座", "head": 5, "dep": "obl", "ner": "B-City"}, {"id": 2, "orth": "で", "tag": "助詞-格助詞", "pos": "ADP", "lemma": "で", "head": -1, "dep": "case", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 3, "orth": "ランチ", "tag": "名詞-普通名詞-一般", "pos": "NOUN", "lemma": "ランチ", "head": 3, "dep": "obj", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 4, "orth": "を", "tag": "助詞-格助詞", "pos": "ADP", "lemma": "を", "head": -1, "dep": "case", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 5, "orth": "ご", "tag": "接頭辞", "pos": "NOUN", "lemma": "ご", "head": 1, "dep": "compound", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 6, "orth": "一緒", "tag": "名詞-普通名詞-サ変可能", "pos": "VERB", "lemma": "一緒", "head": 0, "dep": "ROOT", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 7, "orth": "し", "tag": "動詞-非自立可能", "pos": "AUX", "lemma": "する", "head": -1, "dep": "advcl", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 8, "orth": "ましょう", "tag": "助動詞", "pos": "AUX", "lemma": "ます", "head": -2, "dep": "aux", "ner": "O"}, {"id": 9, "orth": "。", "tag": "補助記号-句点", "pos": "PUNCT", "lemma": "。", "head": -3, "dep": "punct", "ner": "O"} ] } ] } ] } ] If you want to use [`cabocha -f1`](https://taku910.github.io/cabocha/) (lattice style) like output, add `-f 1` or `-f cabocha` option to `ginza` command. This option's format is almost same as `cabocha -f1` but the `func_index` field (after the slash) is slightly different. Our `func_index` field indicates the boundary where the `自立語` ends in each `文節` (and the `機能語` might start from there). And the functional token filter is also slightly different between `cabocha -f1` and ' `ginza -f cabocha`. console $ ginza -f cabocha 銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。 * 0 2D 0/1 0.000000 銀座 名詞,固有名詞,地名,一般,,銀座,ギンザ,* B-City で 助詞,格助詞,,,,で,デ,* O * 1 2D 0/1 0.000000 ランチ 名詞,普通名詞,一般,,,ランチ,ランチ, O を 助詞,格助詞,,,,を,ヲ,* O * 2 -1D 0/2 0.000000 ご 接頭辞,,,,,ご,ゴ, O 一緒 名詞,普通名詞,サ変可能,,,一緒,イッショ, O し 動詞,非自立可能,,,サ行変格,連用形-一般,する,シ,* O ましょう 助動詞,,,,助動詞-マス,意志推量形,ます,マショウ, O 。 補助記号,句点,,,,。,。,* O EOS

```

Multi-processing (Experimental)

We added -p NUM_PROCESS option from GiNZA v3.0. Please specify the number of analyzing processes to NUM_PROCESS. You might want to use all the cpu cores for GiNZA, then execute ginza -p 0. The memory requirement is about 130MB/process (to be improved).

Coding example

Following steps shows dependency parsing results with sentence boundary 'EOS'. python import spacy nlp = spacy.load('ja_ginza_electra') doc = nlp('銀座でランチをご一緒しましょう。') for sent in doc.sents: for token in sent: print( token.i, token.orth_, token.lemma_, token.norm_, token.morph.get("Reading"), token.pos_, token.morph.get("Inflection"), token.tag_, token.dep_, token.head.i, ) print('EOS')

User Dictionary

The user dictionary files should be set to userDict field of sudachi.json in the installed package directory ofja_ginza_dict package.

Please read the official documents to compile user dictionaries with sudachipy command. SudachiPy - User defined Dictionary Sudachi User Dictionary Construction (Japanese Only)

Development Environment

Development set up

1. Clone from github

console $ git clone 'https://github.com/megagonlabs/ginza.git'

2. Run python setup.py

For normal environment: console $ python setup.py develop

3. Set up system.dic

Copy system.dic from installed package directory of ja_ginza_dict to ./ja_ginza_dict/sudachidict/.

Training models

The analysis model of GiNZA is trained by spacy train command. console $ python -m spacy train ja ja_ginza-4.0.0 corpus/ja_ginza-ud-train.json corpus/ja_ginza-ud-dev.json -b ja_vectors_chive_mc90_35k/ -ovl 0.3 -n 100 -m meta.json.ginza -V 4.0.0

Run tests

Ginza uses the pytest framework for testing, and you can run the tests via setup.py without install test requirements explicitly. Some tests depends on the ginza default models (ja-ginza, ja-ginza-electra), so install them before the tests is needed.

```console $ pip install ja-ginza ja-ginza-electra $ pip install -e .

full test

$ python setup.py test

test single file

$ python setup.py test --addopts ginza/tests/test_analyzer.py ```
