Udep2Mono: Monotonicity Marking from Universal Dependency Trees

This framework provides an easy and accurate method to annotate monotonicity information (polarity arrows) on natural English sentences based on Universal Dependency parse trees.

The following publications are integrated in this framework:

• Monotonicity Marking from Universal Dependency Trees (IWCS 2021)

Installation

The recoomanded environment include Python 3.6 or higher , Stanza v1.2.0 or higher, and **ImageMagick v7.0.11. The code does not work with Python 2.7.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/eric11eca/Udep2Mono.git

Install from sources

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m pip install --upgrade setuptools
python setup.py install

Getting Started

First download a pretrained model from Google Drive. Replace the Stanza defalut depparse model with this pretrained version. The Stanza model path is:

C:\Users\$your_user_name$\stanza_resources\en\

Then either open Udep2Mono.ipynb (recommanded) or run

python main.py

Pre-Trained UD Parser Models

We provide two UD Parser Models for English. Some models are general purpose models, while others produce embeddings for specific use cases. Pre-trained models can be loaded by just passing the model name: SentenceTransformer('model_name').

Training

For training new UD parser models, see Stanza's training dcumentation for an introduction how to train your own UD parser.
