Temporal Expression Identification to Go

Temporal Expression Identification to Go (TEI2GO) is an approach for fast and effective identification of temporal expressions. Currently, TEI2GO has models for six languages:

• German
• English
• Spanish
• Italian
• French
• Portuguese

However, it can be expanded to other languages. If you intend to expand it to another language feel free to create an issue, fork the repo, and do a pull request.

🤗 HuggingFace Hub

To facilitate the usage, all TEI2GO models were published on HuggingFace Hub. The code below demonstrates how one can load the French model:

On the command line, run:

pip install https://huggingface.co/hugosousa/fr_tei2go/resolve/main/fr_tei2go-any-py3-none-any.whl

Then the model can be loaded in two ways:

1. Using Spacy

import spacy
nlp = spacy.load("fr_tei2go")

2. Importing as a module

import fr_tei2go
nlp = fr_tei2go.load()

Development environment

virtualenv venv --python=python3.8
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

To assert that everything is working run pytest: python -m pytest tests

Train

python -m src.run spacy  --data tempeval_3 ph_english --language en
