Automatic query correction & completion project

Description

Define a baseline for query correction

tokenize text into words (use spacy or a "naive" tokenization)
use an existing tool for isolated non-word detection and correction (e.g. hunspell)
rerank candidates by using a probabilistic n-gram language model (LM)

Usage

Process wikipedia dumps

Complete process to

download a .bz2 wikipedia dump file
decompress the archive
extract plain text from wikipedia xml file (using the WikiExtractor.py script)
split text into sentences and preprocess them
- lowercase text
- remove digits
- remove punctuation marks
- remove non Latin characters
- [FIXME]: uses the external regex library, therefore it's quite slow
count the number of occurrences of tokens (words and characters)
plot the count and coverage of tokens with respect to a minimum number of occurrences filter
filter the list of words with respect to their number of occurrences

As a result, this process allows us to define

a word vocabulary
the textual corpus needed to train a n-gram LM

$ scripts/prepare_wikipedia -h
usage: prepare_wikipedia [-h] conf

Download, decompress, extract and clean wikipedia dump data

positional arguments:
    conf        input config file (yml)

optional arguments:
    -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Train n-gram language models

Use the SRILM toolkit to

generate n-gram counts based on a word vocabulary and a sentence-per-line corpus
estimate an open-class language model using the modified Knesser-Ney smoothing technnique

The resulting language model will allow us to compute the log-probability of a sequence of words.

$ scripts/train_ngram_lm -h
Objective: train a probabilistic n-gram language model

Usage:   scripts/train_ngram_lm <yaml_config_file>
Example: scripts/train_ngram_lm conf/model/config_train_lm_wiki-fr.yml

Build the trie-based version of the SRILM language model

The code was inspired from the PyNLPl library.

Did not use it directly because

of the long load time
of the large memory usage (class within a class)
it always expects an ARPA model (large file, slow parsing)
it doesn't allow saving the model in a binary file and reloading it from there
it doesn't handle correctly the start-of-sentence token (prob=-99)

$ scripts/change_lm_format -h
usage: change_lm_format [-h] conf

Change format of n-gram LM

positional arguments:
  conf        input config file (yml)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Set up the process for the 1st baseline

Use 3 sources

a spacy NLP model
- tokenize text
- detect named entities
- detect {numbers, urls, emails, punctuation}-like tokens
the hunspell spell-checker
- detect misspelled words
- generate candidate corrections (valid words within small edit-distances)
- requires two files (available sources)
the trie-based n-gram language model
- re-rank the out-of-context corrections generated by hunspell
- prioritize the more likely sequences of words

$ scripts/run_baseline_1 -h
usage: run_baseline_1 [-h] conf

Tokenize, detect, correct and rerank corrections

positional arguments:
  conf        input config file (yml)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
