How to get started with training a latent framebian model?
Getting started with the training of a latent framebian model may seem complicated at first, but with the right steps, the task is considerably simplified. For this purpose, we use Google Colab to write the code to run such training. Initially, we must focus on calculating the necessary counts, setting up a system in which each dictionary element specifically represents the frequency of labels, broadcasts and transitions.
How to structure the initial dictionaries?
- Tags: This dictionary entry will count how many times each tag appears in the corpus.
- Emissions: Here, it will record how many times a specific tag corresponds to a specific word.
- Transitions: Indicates how many times a previous tag is followed by another tag in a subsequent position.
How to read the corpus and count tags?
Reading the corpus is an essential step where the use of the universal grammatical tag convention is suggested. We use a double for
as each element of the corpus is a list of tokens, processing one by one.
tag_counts = {}
#for token_list in corpus: previous_tag = None for token in token_list: tag = token.tag_type
if tag in tag_counts: tag_counts[tag] += 1 else: tag_counts[tag] = 1
How to calculate the emission and transition probabilities?
It is essential to establish the probabilities of two types: emission and transition. Both play a crucial role in the correct functioning of the model.
How to calculate emission probabilities?
Calculating emission probabilities requires creating a string that reflects the combination of the lowercase word and its label. Similar to tag counting, checks ensure that the counts are accurate.
emission_counts = {}
for token_list in corpus: for token in token_list: word = token.word.lower() tag = token.tag_type
pair = f"{word}|{tag}"
if pair in emission_counts: emission_counts[pair] += 1 else: emission_counts[pair] = 1
How to handle transition probabilities?
The computation of transitions adds another layer of complexity by involving previous tags. As we traverse the corpus, we constantly update the prior tag to correctly reflect the probabilities.
transition_counts = {}
for token_list in corpus: previous_tag = None for token in token_list: tag = token.tag_type
if previous_tag is not None: prev_current_pair = f"{previous_tag}|{tag}"
if prev_current_pair in transition_counts: transition_counts[prev_current_pair] += 1 else: transition_counts[prev_current_pair] = 1 previous_tag = tag
How are the calculated probabilities saved and used?
After getting all the counts, we transform these into transition and issue probabilities. Then, we store these in usable files, which is essential for future prediction procedures.
How to store the probabilities?
We use the NumPy
library to store each set of probabilities in separate files, strengthening efficiency in storage and access for later applications. This step is key to advance to concrete model predictions.
import numpy as np
np.save("transition_probabilities.npy", transition_probabilities)np.save("emission_probabilities.npy", emission_probabilities)
This process culminates in a completed and stored latent framebian latent model, ready to be used in word sequences to obtain the most likely corresponding labels. Go ahead and find out how to apply this powerful technique in real-world applications!
