Martin Wiesner updated OPENNLP-1539:
------------------------------------
Description:
[Classic (legacy) POS models|https://opennlp.sourceforge.net/models-1.5/]
output tags in the [PENN Treebank POS
tag|https://www.ling.upenn.edu/courses/Fall_2003/ling001/penn_treebank_pos.html]
format.
The modern UD-based models, however, differ in the [longer output
format|https://universaldependencies.org/u/pos/], e.g. "VB" (Penn) vs. "VERB"
(UD). This results in mismatches and will cause existing IT / tests to fail, if
executed.
To provide compatibility for existing applications and/or use-cases, we need to
provide a way to retrieve both POS formats.
Aims:
- Introduce a constructor parameter for POSTaggerME to configure tag format /
style: Penn or UD style
- Implement a mapping between both POS tag formats: UD <==> Penn
- Update the OpenNLP Manual to explain differences of POS tag format and
configuration parameter
Conceptual idea:
- {{new POSTaggerME("en")}} => by _default_: UD format "as is"
- {{new POSTaggerME("en", POSTagFormat.PENN)}} => by _intention_, here: Penn
style
Benefit:
1. It should be explicit so devs / user see what they will get via
{{POSTagFormat}}. Enum values: POSTagFormat.UD, POSTagFormat.PENN,
POSTagFormat.DEFAULT
2. IT tests can now be formulated to work on both modern and legacy models.
