HOPS, an honest parser of sentences

It ain't much but it's honest work.

This is a graph-based dependency parser inspired by Dozat and Manning (2017)'s biaffine graph parser. Contrary to Dozat, the parser performs its own tagging and can use several lexers such as FastText, BERT and others. It has been originally designed within the FlauBERT initiative.

The parser comes with pretrained models ready for parsing French, but it might be trained for other languages without difficulties.

See the documentation for more information.

If you want a development install (so you can modify the code locally and directly run it), you can install it in editable mode with the tests extras after cloning the repository

git clone https://github.com/hopsparser/hopsparser
cd hopsparser
pip install -e "." --group dev

In that case, you can run the smoke tests with nox to ensure that everything works on your end.
