AistrighNLP is a collection of tools and models used for Aistrigh, the BT Young Scientist 2021 project. Our aim is to bring Irish into the modern era with NLP tools to give it parity with English. The tools included are based around the work in Neural Models for Predicting Celtic Mutations (Scannell, 2020) and our own preliminary paper. Included is all the tools needed to create a demutated Irish/Scots corpus and/or create a dataset to train a custom neural network, which can be used in all sorts of NLP tasks, and models to reinsert them.

AistrighNLP can be downloaded using pip
pip install aistrigh-nlp
When lowercasing either Irish or Scots Gaelic for prediciting mutations, you must be aware of special cases outlined in the paper above. Our lowercaser handles that
aistrigh-nlp lowercase -i input.txt -o output.txt
To remove mutations from an entire dataset for use for NLP tasks (like Machine Translation) use demutate-corpus. -l/--lang must take ISO 639 language codes like 'ga'.
aistrigh-nlp demutate-corpus -i input.txt -o output.txt -l ga
To remove mutations with a 'window' on either side to train a neural network, use demutate-window, with -w set to your desired window length on each side
aistrigh-nlp demutate-window -i input.txt -o output.csv -l ga -w 16
To predict mutations on each word, use predict-mutations. As of right now, it's only compatible with PyTorch+Torchtext models but we are working on expanding to TensorFlow and Keras. You'll need your vocab, labels and model checkpoint in the same folder (-d/--data). We provide default models to be used here.
aistrigh-nlp predict-mutations -i input.txt -o output.txt -w 16 -d nn_100k
To apply the mutations predicted by predict-mutations, use apply-mutations.
aistrigh-nlp apply-mutations -i input.txt -o output.txt -l ga
To score NMT models using both these metrics run;
aistrigh-nlp bleu -r reference.txt -p predictions.txt -l ga
If you're scoring a demutated NMT model and haven't reapplied mutations, pass your demutated reference (-d) and predictions, and the original reference (-r).
aistrigh-nlp bleu -d demutated_reference.txt -r reference.txt -p predictions.txt -l ga
AistrighNLP uses PyTorch Traces to save the full computational graphs as checkpoints. This way, the model architecture need not be declared into hard-coded scripts. See this StackOverflow Thread for instructions to save a traced checkpoint.
