nltk.parse.NonprojectiveDependencyParser.parse¶

NonprojectiveDependencyParser.parse(tokens)[source]¶

Parses the input tokens with respect to the parser’s grammar. Parsing is accomplished by representing the search-space of possible parses as a fully-connected directed graph. Arcs that would lead to ungrammatical parses are removed and a lattice is constructed of length n, where n is the number of input tokens, to represent all possible grammatical traversals. All possible paths through the lattice are then enumerated to produce the set of non-projective parses.

param tokens: A list of tokens to parse. type tokens: list(str) return: An iterator of non-projective parses. rtype: iter(DependencyGraph)
