anaGo

anaGo is a Python library for sequence labeling(NER, PoS Tagging,…), implemented in Keras.

anaGo can solve sequence labeling tasks such as named entity recognition (NER), part-of-speech tagging (POS tagging), semantic role labeling (SRL) and so on. Unlike traditional sequence labeling solver, anaGo don’t need to define any language dependent features. Thus, we can easily use anaGo for any languages.

As an example of anaGo, the following image shows named entity recognition in English:

Get Started

In anaGo, the simplest type of model is the Sequence model. Sequence model includes essential methods like fit, score, analyze and save/load. For more complex features, you should use the anaGo modules such as models, preprocessing and so on.

Here is the data loader:

>>> from anago.utils import load_data_and_labels

>>> x_train, y_train = load_data_and_labels('train.txt')
>>> x_test, y_test = load_data_and_labels('test.txt')
>>> x_train[0]
['EU', 'rejects', 'German', 'call', 'to', 'boycott', 'British', 'lamb', '.']
>>> y_train[0]
['B-ORG', 'O', 'B-MISC', 'O', 'O', 'O', 'B-MISC', 'O', 'O']

You can now iterate on your training data in batches:

>>> import anago

>>> model = anago.Sequence()
>>> model.fit(x_train, y_train, epochs=15)
Epoch 1/15
541/541 [==============================] - 166s 307ms/step - loss: 12.9774
...

Evaluate your performance in one line:

>>> model.score(x_test, y_test)
0.802  # f1-micro score
# For more performance, you have to use pre-trained word embeddings.
# For now, anaGo's best score is 90.94 f1-micro score.

Or tagging text on new data:

>>> text = 'President Obama is speaking at the White House.'
>>> model.analyze(text)
{
    "words": [
        "President",
        "Obama",
        "is",
        "speaking",
        "at",
        "the",
        "White",
        "House."
    ],
    "entities": [
        {
            "beginOffset": 1,
            "endOffset": 2,
            "score": 1,
            "text": "Obama",
            "type": "PER"
        },
        {
            "beginOffset": 6,
            "endOffset": 8,
            "score": 1,
            "text": "White House.",
            "type": "LOC"
        }
    ]
}

To download a pre-trained model, call download function:

>>> from anago.utils import download

>>> url = 'https://s3-ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/dev.tech-sketch.jp/chakki/public/conll2003_en.zip'
>>> weights, params, preprocessor = download(url)
>>> model = anago.Sequence.load(weights, params, preprocessor)
>>> model.score(x_test, y_test)
0.909446369856927

If you want to use ELMo for better performance(f1: 92.22), you can use ELModel and ELMoTransformer:

# Transforming datasets.
p = ELMoTransformer()
p.fit(x_train, y_train)

# Building a model.
model = ELModel(...)
model, loss = model.build()
model.compile(loss=loss, optimizer='adam')

# Training the model.
trainer = Trainer(model, preprocessor=p)
trainer.train(x_train, y_train, x_test, y_test)
