--add_parses

Switch

--add_parses

Description

Creates parsed versions of the message table.

Argument and Default Value

None

Details

This switch creates three tables (for a given table name TABLE): TABLE_const, TABLE_pos, TABLE_dep. Each table contains the same columns and contents as the original table except for the contents of the message column.

The message column in TABLE_const is now a tree structure corresponding to the grammatical structure of the message. For example:

  • original message: Everything is breaking apart.

  • parsed message: (ROOT (S (NP (NNP Everything)) (VP (VBZ is) (VP (VBG breaking) (ADVP (RB apart)))) (. .)))

The message column in TABLE_dep is a list of dependencies which provide a representation of grammatical relations between words in a sentence. For example:

  • original message: Everything is breaking apart.

  • parsed message: ['nsubj(breaking-3, Everything-1)', 'aux(breaking-3, is-2)', 'root(ROOT-0, breaking-3)', 'advmod(breaking-3, apart-4)']

The message column in TABLE_pos is a part of speech tagged version of the original message. For example:

  • original message: Everything is breaking apart.

  • parsed message: Everything/NNP is/VBZ breaking/VBG apart/RB ./.

Note that TABLE_pos is tagged according to the Penn Treebank Project tags.
