In general, when we are trying to develop even a very small grammar,
|
|
it is convenient to put the rules in a file where they can be edited,
|
|
tested and revised. Let's assume that we have saved feat0cfg_ as a file named
|
|
``'feat0.fcfg'`` and placed it in the NLTK ``data`` directory. We can
|
|
inspect it as follows:
|
|
|
|
.. _feat0cfg: http://nltk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nltk/trunk/nltk/data/grammars/feat0.fcfg
|
|
|
|
>>> nltk.data.show_cfg('grammars/book_grammars/feat0.fcfg')
|
|

Assuming we have saved feat0cfg_ as a file named

|
``'feat0.fcfg'``, the function ``parse.load_parser`` allows us to
|
|
read the grammar into NLTK, ready for use in parsing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> cp = parse.load_parser('grammars/book_grammars/feat0.fcfg', trace=1)
|
|
>>> sent = 'Kim likes children'
|
|
>>> tokens = sent.split()
|
|

|

|
The parser works directly with
|
|
the underspecified productions given by the grammar. That is, the
|
|
Predictor rule does not attempt to compile out all admissible feature
|
|
combinations before trying to expand the non-terminals on the left hand
|
|
side of a production. However, when the Scanner matches an input word
|
|
against a lexical production that has been predicted, the new edge will
|
|
typically contain fully specified features; e.g., the edge
|
|
[PropN[`num`:feat: = `sg`:fval:] |rarr| 'Kim', (0, 1)]. Recall from
|
|
Chapter 8 that the Fundamental (or Completer) Rule in
|
|
standard CFGs is used to combine an incomplete edge that's expecting a
|
|
nonterminal *B* with a following, complete edge whose left hand side
|
|
matches *B*. In our current setting, rather than checking for a
|
|
complete match, we test whether the expected category *B* will
|
|
`unify`:dt: with the left hand side *B'* of a following complete
|
|
edge. We will explain in more detail in Section 9.2 how
|
|
unification works; for the moment, it is enough to know that as a
|
|
result of unification, any variable values of features in *B* will be
|
|
instantiated by constant values in the corresponding feature structure
|
|
in *B'*, and these instantiated values will be used in the new edge
|
|
added by the Completer. This instantiation can be seen, for example,
|
|
in the edge
|
|
[NP [`num`:feat:\ =\ `sg`:fval:] |rarr| PropN[`num`:feat:\ =\ `sg`:fval:] |dot|, (0, 1)]
|
|
in Example 9.2, where the feature `num`:feat: has been assigned the value `sg`:fval:.
|
|
|
|
Feature structures in NLTK are ... Atomic feature values can be strings or
|
|
integers.
|
|
|
|
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(TENSE='past', NUM='sg')
|
|
>>> print(fs1)
|
|
[ NUM = 'sg' ]
|
|
[ TENSE = 'past' ]
|
|
|
|
We can think of a feature structure as being like a Python dictionary,
|
|
and access its values by indexing in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(PER=3, NUM='pl', GND='fem')
|
|
>>> print(fs1['GND'])
|
|
fem
|
|
|
|
We can also define feature structures which have complex values, as
|
|
discussed earlier.
|
|
|
|
>>> fs2 = nltk.FeatStruct(POS='N', AGR=fs1)
|
|
>>> print(fs2)
|
|
[ [ GND = 'fem' ] ]
|
|
[ AGR = [ NUM = 'pl' ] ]
|
|
[ [ PER = 3 ] ]
|
|
[ ]
|
|
[ POS = 'N' ]
|
|
>>> print(fs2['AGR'])
|
|
[ GND = 'fem' ]
|
|
[ NUM = 'pl' ]
|
|
[ PER = 3 ]
|
|
>>> print(fs2['AGR']['PER'])
|
|
3
|
|
|
|
Feature structures can also be constructed using the ``parse()``
|
|
method of the ``nltk.FeatStruct`` class. Note that in this case, atomic
|
|
feature values do not need to be enclosed in quotes.
|
|
|
|
>>> f1 = nltk.FeatStruct("[NUMBER = sg]")
|
|
>>> f2 = nltk.FeatStruct("[PERSON = 3]")
|
|
>>> print(nltk.unify(f1, f2))
|
|
[ NUMBER = 'sg' ]
|
|
[ PERSON = 3 ]
|
|
|
|
>>> f1 = nltk.FeatStruct("[A = [B = b, D = d]]")
|
|
>>> f2 = nltk.FeatStruct("[A = [C = c, D = d]]")
|
|
>>> print(nltk.unify(f1, f2))
|
|
[ [ B = 'b' ] ]
|
|
[ A = [ C = 'c' ] ]
|
|
[ [ D = 'd' ] ]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Feature Structures as Graphs
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
Feature structures are not inherently tied to linguistic objects; they are
|
|
general purpose structures for representing knowledge. For example, we
|
|
could encode information about a person in a feature structure:
|
|
|
|
>>> person01 = nltk.FeatStruct("[NAME=Lee, TELNO='01 27 86 42 96',AGE=33]")
|
|
>>> print(person01)
|
|
[ AGE = 33 ]
|
|
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
|
|
[ TELNO = '01 27 86 42 96' ]
|
|
|
|
There are a number of notations for representing reentrancy in
|
|
matrix-style representations of feature structures. In NLTK, we adopt
|
|
the following convention: the first occurrence of a shared feature structure
|
|
is prefixed with an integer in parentheses, such as ``(1)``, and any
|
|
subsequent reference to that structure uses the notation
|
|
``->(1)``, as shown below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> fs = nltk.FeatStruct("""[NAME=Lee, ADDRESS=(1)[NUMBER=74, STREET='rue Pascal'],
|
|
... SPOUSE=[NAME=Kim, ADDRESS->(1)]]""")
|
|
>>> print(fs)
|
|
[ ADDRESS = (1) [ NUMBER = 74 ] ]
|
|
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]
|
|
[ ]
|
|
[ NAME = 'Lee' ]
|
|
[ ]
|
|
[ SPOUSE = [ ADDRESS -> (1) ] ]
|
|
[ [ NAME = 'Kim' ] ]
|
|
|
|
There can be any number of tags within a single feature structure.
|
|
|
|
>>> fs3 = nltk.FeatStruct("[A=(1)[B=b], C=(2)[], D->(1), E->(2)]")
|
|
>>> print(fs3)
|
|
[ A = (1) [ B = 'b' ] ]
|
|
[ ]
|
|
[ C = (2) [] ]
|
|
[ ]
|
|
[ D -> (1) ]
|
|
[ E -> (2) ]
|
|
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(NUMBER=74, STREET='rue Pascal')
|
|
>>> fs2 = nltk.FeatStruct(CITY='Paris')
|
|
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs1, fs2))
|
|
[ CITY = 'Paris' ]
|
|
[ NUMBER = 74 ]
|
|
[ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ]
|
|
|
|
Unification is symmetric:
|
|
|
|
>>> nltk.unify(fs1, fs2) == nltk.unify(fs2, fs1)
|
|
True
|
|
|
|
Unification is commutative:
|
|
|
|
>>> fs3 = nltk.FeatStruct(TELNO='01 27 86 42 96')
|
|
>>> nltk.unify(nltk.unify(fs1, fs2), fs3) == nltk.unify(fs1, nltk.unify(fs2, fs3))
|
|
True
|
|
|
|
Unification between `FS`:math:\ :subscript:`0` and `FS`:math:\
|
|
:subscript:`1` will fail if the two feature structures share a path |pi|,
|
|
but the value of |pi| in `FS`:math:\ :subscript:`0` is a distinct
|
|
atom from the value of |pi| in `FS`:math:\ :subscript:`1`. In NLTK,
|
|
this is implemented by setting the result of unification to be
|
|
``None``.
|
|
|
|
>>> fs0 = nltk.FeatStruct(A='a')
|
|
>>> fs1 = nltk.FeatStruct(A='b')
|
|
>>> print(nltk.unify(fs0, fs1))
|
|
None
|
|
|
|
Now, if we look at how unification interacts with structure-sharing,
|
|
things become really interesting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>>> fs0 = nltk.FeatStruct("""[NAME=Lee,
|
|
... ADDRESS=[NUMBER=74,
|
|
... STREET='rue Pascal'],

|

|

|
|
... STREET='rue Pascal']]]""")
|
|
>>> print(fs0)
|
|

|
|
[ [ STREET = 'rue Pascal' ] ]

Grammar with Binding Operators
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
The `bindop.fcfg`_ grammar is a semantic grammar that uses lambda
|
|
calculus. Each element has a core semantics, which is a single lambda
|
|
calculus expression; and a set of binding operators, which bind
|
|
variables.
|
|
|
|
.. _bindop.fcfg: http://nltk.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/nltk/trunk/nltk/data/grammars/bindop.fcfg
|
|
|
|
In order to make the binding operators work right, they need to
|
|
instantiate their bound variable every time they are added to the
|
|
chart. To do this, we use a special subclass of `Chart`, called
|
|
`InstantiateVarsChart`.
|
|
|
|
>>> from nltk.parse.featurechart import InstantiateVarsChart
|
|
>>> cp = parse.load_parser('grammars/sample_grammars/bindop.fcfg', trace=1,
|
|
... chart_class=InstantiateVarsChart)
|
|
>>> print(cp.grammar())
