PyDelphin — Python libraries for DELPH-IN data

PyPI Version Python Support Test Status Documentation Status Discourse

DELPH-IN is an international consortium of researchers committed to producing precise, high-quality language processing tools and resources, primarily in the HPSG syntactic and MRS semantic frameworks, and PyDelphin is a suite of Python libraries for processing data and interacting with tools in the DELPH-IN ecosystem. PyDelphin's goal is to lower the barriers to making use of DELPH-IN resources to help users quickly build applications or perform experiments, and it has been successfully used for research into machine translation (e.g., Goodman, 2018), sentence chunking (Muszyńska, 2016), neural semantic parsing (Buys & Blunsom, 2017), natural language generation (Hajdik et al., 2019), and more.

Documentation, including guides and an API reference, is available here: http://pydelphin.readthedocs.io/
