# UD2UDE

This (badly-named) UD2UDE project (stands for Universal Dependencies to Universal Dependencies enhancements) is the main project of a 'u2dude' project series, all related to the main goal of my thesis.
1. [**Converter:**](#Converter) (The current project,) Universal-Dependencies to enhancedUD converter, aimed to port core-nlp's Java converter to a python(3.6) converter, embedded with my researched add-ins ("extra or Aryeh's enhancements").
2. [**Model:**](https://github.com/allenai/ud_spacy_model) spaCy trained model based on UD (and PENN converted to UD) dataset.
3. [**Demo:**](https://github.com/aryehgigi/ud2ude_demo) {will be move to public when stable} JS and python code, making use of the converter. Simply check it out [here](http://nlp.biu.ac.il/~aryeht/eud/)

## Converter
The converter converts UD (v1.4) to enhancedUD, enhancedUD++, and extra-enhancements (discovered as part of my thesis).
It supports Conll-U and Odin formats (and some conversions between them).

Generally, I tried to maintain the same behavior (mentioned [here](http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2016/pdf/779_Paper.pdf), and that was implemented by [core-NLP java converter](https://nlp.stanford.edu/software/stanford-dependencies.shtml)) as much as reasonable.

The converter coveres the following conversions:

If the marker is "to", the object (if it is animated - but for   now we donâ€™t enforce it) of the main clause is propagated as subject,   otherwise the subject of the main clause is propagated.<br>2. Else, if the marker is not one of "as/so/when/if" (this   includes no marker at all which is mostly equivalent to "while"   marker), both the subject and the object of the main clause are equivalent   options (unless no object found, then the subject is propagated).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

This is a correctness of the subject decision of the previous bullet.<br>2. If the noun being modified is an object/modifier of a verb with some   subject, then that subject might be the subject of the Noun-modifying   participle as well. (it is uncertain, and seems to be correct only for the   more abstract nouns, but thatâ€™s just a first impression).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

Modifiers that appear after both parts of the conjunction may (the ratio   should be researched) refer to both parts. Moreover, If the modifiers father   is not the immediate conjunction part, then all the conjunction parts between   the father and the modifier are (most probably) modified by the   modifier.<br>2. If the modifier father is the immediate conjunction part, we propagate   the modifier backward only if the new father, doesn't have any modifiers sons   (this is to restrict a bit the amount of false-positives).<br>3. We donâ€™t propagate modifier forwardly (that is, if the conjunct part   appears after the modifier, we assume they donâ€™t refer).<br>4. Should be tested for cost/effectiveness as it may bring many   false-positives.       |

Rational: If a locative or temporal adverbial modifier is stretched away from   the verb through a subject/object/modifier(nmod) it should be applied as well   to the verb itself.<br>2. Example: "He was running around, in these woods here".                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
