Javascript port of the Penman Python library for Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR).
Full docs: https://chanind.github.io/penman-js
This library, including documentation, is a manual port of the Penman Python library. All functionality available in the original library should also be available in this library, with similar usage and semantics. The Python library should still be considered the main project for new features. If you find that behavior differs between these libraries, please open a Github issue.
The goal of this project is to bring the power of the Penman Python library's AMR parsing and generation to the browser and Node.js. This project does not provide a CLI interface for manipulating AMR, since the Python library already provides that functionality.
Installation is via NPM:
npm install penman-js
The most faithful representation of AMR text in the library is the Tree class. The parse function turns an AMR text string into a Tree, and format does the reverse, turning a Tree back into a string.
import { parse, format } from 'penman-js';
const t = penman.parse('(w / want-01 :ARG0 (b / boy) :ARG1 (g / go :ARG0 b))');
const [variable, branches] = t.node;
console.log(variable); // ouput: 'w'
console.log(branches.length); // output: 3
const [role, target] = branches[2];
console.log(role); // output: ':ARG1'
console.log(format(target));
// (g / go
// :ARG0 b)Users wanting to interact with graphs might find the decode and
encode functions a good place to start.
import { encode, decode } from 'penman-js';
const g = penman.decode('(w / want-01 :ARG0 (b / boy) :ARG1 (g / go :ARG0 b))');
console.log(g.top);
// 'w'
console.log(g.triples.length);
// 6
console.log(g.instances().map((instance) => instance[2]));
// ['want-01', 'boy', 'go']
console.log(encode(g, { top: 'b' }));
// (b / boy
// :ARG0-of (w / want-01
// :ARG1 (g / go
// :ARG0 b)))See https://chanind.github.io/penman-js for full docs.
