NAME

Ufal::UDPipe - bindings to UDPipe library http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/udpipe.

SYNOPSIS

use Ufal::UDPipe;
use open qw(:std :utf8);

my $model_file = '...';
my $model = Ufal::UDPipe::Model::load($model_file);
$model or die "Cannot load model from file '$model_file'\n";

my $tokenizer = $model->newTokenizer($Ufal::UDPipe::Model::DEFAULT);
my $conllu_output = Ufal::UDPipe::OutputFormat::newOutputFormat("conllu");
my $sentence = Ufal::UDPipe::Sentence->new();

$tokenizer->setText(join('', <>));
while ($tokenizer->nextSentence($sentence)) {
  $model->tag($sentence, $Ufal::UDPipe::Model::DEFAULT);
  $model->parse($sentence, $Ufal::UDPipe::Model::DEFAULT);

  my $output = $conllu_output->writeSentence($sentence);
  print $output;
}

REQUIREMENTS

To compile the module, a C++11 compiler is needed, either g++ 4.7 or newer, alternatively clang 3.2 or newer or Visual C++ 2015.

DESCRIPTION

Ufal::UDPipe is a Perl binding to UDPipe library http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/udpipe.

The binding is a straightforward conversion of the C++ bindings API. Vectors do not have native Perl interface, see Ufal::UDPipe::Words source for reference. Static methods and enumerations are available only through the module, not through object instance.

Wrapped C++ API

The C++ API being wrapped follows. For a API reference of the original C++ API, see http://ufal.mff.cuni.cz/udpipe/api-reference.
