NLP Pipeline

============

nlppln is a python package for creating NLP pipelines using `Common Workflow Language `_ (CWL).

It provides steps for (generic) NLP functionality, such as tokenization,

lemmatization, and part of speech tagging, and helps users to construct workflows

from these steps.



A text processing step consist of a (Python) command line tool and a CWL

specification to use this tool.

Most tools provided by nppln wrap existing NLP functionality.

The command line tools are made with `Click `_, a Python

package for creating command line interfaces.



To create a workflow, you have to write a Python script:

::



  from nlppln import WorkflowGenerator



  with WorkflowGenerator() as wf:

    txt_dir = wf.add_input(txt_dir='Directory')



    frogout = wf.frog_dir(in_dir=txt_dir)

    saf = wf.frog_to_saf(in_files=frogout)

    ner_stats = wf.save_ner_data(in_files=saf)

    new_saf = wf.replace_ner(metadata=ner_stats, in_files=saf)

    txt = wf.saf_to_txt(in_files=new_saf)



    wf.add_outputs(ner_stats=ner_stats, txt=txt)



    wf.save('anonymize.cwl')



The resulting workflow can be run using a CWL runner, such as `cwltool `_:



.. code-block:: sh



  cwltool anonymize.cwl --txt_dir /path/to/directory/with/txt/files/



For creating new (e.g., project specific) NLP functionality, you can use `nlppln-gen `_

to generate boilerplate (i.e., empty) command line tools and CWL specifications.



The full documentation can be found on `Read the Docs `_.
