This library enables you to process linguistic corpora with multiple levels of annotations by:
visualizing linguistic graphs
directly in an IPython notebook

.. IPython notebook

So far, the following formats can be imported and merged:
TigerXML
_ (a format for representing tree-like syntax graphs with
secondary edges)
NeGra Export Format
_ (a format used i.a. for the TüBa-D/Z Treebank)
Penn Treebank <http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~treebank/>
_ format (an s-expressions/lisp/brackets format for representing syntax trees)
a number of formats for Rhetorical Structure Theory:
RSTTool
_ to annotate documents with Rhetorical Structure Theory)URML
_ (a format for underspecified rhetorical structure trees)MMAX2
_ (a format / GUI tool for annotating spans and connections between
them (e.g. coreferences)
CoNLL 2009
and CoNLL 2010
formats (used for annotating i.a. dependency parses
and coreference links)
ConanoXML (a format for annotating connectives, used by Conano
_)
Decour (an XML format used by a corpus of
DEceptive statements in Italian COURts <http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2012/pdf/377_Paper.pdf>
_)
EXMARaLDA <http://exmaralda.org/>
_, a format for annotating spans in spoken
or written language
an ad-hoc plain text format for annotating expletives (you're probably not interested in)

discoursegraphs can export graphs into the following formats / for the following tools:
graphviz
_neo4j
_ graph databaseGEXF <http://gexf.net/format/>
and GraphML <http://graphml.graphdrawing.org/>
(common interchange formats for graphs used by various tools such as
Gephi <https://gephi.github.io/>
and Cytoscape <http://www.cytoscape.org/>
)PAULA XML 1.1 <https://www.sfb632.uni-potsdam.de/en/paula.html>
_, an exchange format
for linguistic data (exporter is still buggy)EXMARaLDA <http://exmaralda.org/>
_, a tool for annotating spans in spoken
or written languageCoNLL 2009
_ (so far, only tokens, sentence boundaries and coreferences are exported)This should work on both Linux and Mac OSX using Python 2.7
and
either pip
or easy_install.
.. Python 2.7
: https://www.python.org/downloads/
.. pip
: https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html
Install from PyPI
::
pip install discoursegraphs # prepend 'sudo' if needed
or, if you're oldschool:
::
easy_install discoursegraphs # prepend 'sudo' if needed
Install from source
::
sudo apt-get install python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt-dev pkg-config graphviz-dev libgraphviz-dev -y
sudo easy_install -U setuptools
git clone https://github.com/arne-cl/discoursegraphs.git
cd discoursegraphs
sudo python setup.py install
The command line interface of DiscourseGraphs allows you to
merge syntax, rhetorical structure, connectives and expletives
annotation files into one graph and to store this graph in one of several
output formats (e.g. the geoff
format used by the neo4j
graph database
or the dot
_ format used by the graphviz plotting tool).
.. neo4j
: http://www.neo4j.org/
.. dot
: http://www.graphviz.org/content/dot-language
.. _geoff
: http://www.neo4j.org/develop/python/geoff

discoursegraphs -t syntax/maz-13915.xml -r rst/maz-13915.rs3 -c connectors/maz-13915.xml -a anaphora/tosik/das/maz-13915.txt -o dot
dot -Tpdf doc.dot > discoursegraph.pdf # generates a PDF from the dot file
If you're interested in working with just one of those layers, you'll have to call the code directly::
import discoursegraphs as dg
tiger_docgraph = dg.read_tiger('syntax/doc.xml')
rst_docgraph = dg.read_rs3('rst/doc.rs3')
expletives_docgraph = dg.read_anaphoricity('expletives/doc.txt')
All the document graphs generated in this example are derived from the
networkx.MultiDiGraph
_ class, so you should be able to use all of its
methods.

Source code documentation is available
here <https://pythonhosted.org/pypolibox/>
, but you can always get an
up-to-date local copy using Sphinx
.
You can generate an HTML or PDF version by running these commands in
the docs
directory::
make latexpdf
to produce a PDF (docs/_build/latex/discoursegraphs.pdf
) and ::
make html
to produce a set of HTML files (docs/_build/html/index.html
).
