SudachiPy

Documentation

SudachiPy is a Python version of Sudachi, a Japanese morphological analyzer.

This is not a pure Python implementation, but bindings for the Sudachi.rs.

Binary wheels

We provide binary builds for macOS (10.14+), Windows and Linux only for x86_64 architecture. x86 32-bit architecture is not supported and is not tested. MacOS source builds seem to work on ARM-based (Aarch64) Macs, but this architecture also is not tested and require installing Rust toolchain and Cargo.

Setup

You need SudachiPy and a dictionary.

Step 1. Install SudachiPy

pip install sudachipy

Step 2. Get a Dictionary

You can get dictionary as a Python package. It may take a while to download the dictionary file (around 70MB for the core edition).

pip install sudachidict_core

Alternatively, you can choose other dictionary editions. See this section for the detail.

Usage: As a command

There is a CLI command sudachipy.

$ echo "外国人参政権" | sudachipy
外国人参政権	名詞,普通名詞,一般,*,*,*	外国人参政権
EOS
$ echo "外国人参政権" | sudachipy -m A

API

See API reference page.

Example

from sudachipy import Dictionary, SplitMode

tokenizer_obj = Dictionary().create()

# Multi-granular Tokenization

# SplitMode.C is the default mode
[m.surface() for m in tokenizer_obj.tokenize("国家公務員", SplitMode.C)]
# => ['国家公務員']

[m.surface() for m in tokenizer_obj.tokenize("国家公務員", SplitMode.B)]
# => ['国家', '公務員']

[m.surface() for m in tokenizer_obj.tokenize("国家公務員", SplitMode.A)]
# => ['国家', '公務', '員']

# Morpheme information

m = tokenizer_obj.tokenize("食べ")[0]

m.surface() # => '食べ'
m.dictionary_form() # => '食べる'
m.reading_form() # => 'タベ'
m.part_of_speech() # => ['動詞', '一般', '*', '*', '下一段-バ行', '連用形-一般']

# Normalization

tokenizer_obj.tokenize("附属", mode)[0].normalized_form()
# => '付属'
tokenizer_obj.tokenize("SUMMER", mode)[0].normalized_form()
# => 'サマー'
tokenizer_obj.tokenize("シュミレーション", mode)[0].normalized_form()
# => 'シミュレーション'

Dictionary Edition

There are three editions of Sudachi Dictionary, namely, small, core, and full. See WorksApplications/SudachiDict for the detail.

SudachiPy uses sudachidict_core by default.

Dictionaries can be installed as Python packages sudachidict_small, sudachidict_core, and sudachidict_full.

• SudachiDict-small · PyPI
• SudachiDict-core · PyPI
• SudachiDict-full · PyPI

The dictionary files are not in the package itself, but it is downloaded upon installation.

Dictionary option: command line

You can specify the dictionary with the tokenize option -s.

$ pip install sudachidict_small
$ echo "外国人参政権" | sudachipy -s small

$ pip install sudachidict_full
$ echo "外国人参政権" | sudachipy -s full

Dictionary option: Python package

You can specify the dictionary with the Dicionary() argument; config or dict.

class Dictionary(config=None, resource_dir=None, dict=None)

1. config
   • You can specify the file path to the setting file with config (See [Dictionary in The Setting File](#Dictionary in The Setting File) for the detail).
   • If the dictionary file is specified in the setting file as systemDict, SudachiPy will use the dictionary.
2. dict
   • You can also specify the dictionary type with dict.
   • The available arguments are small, core, full, or a path to the dictionary file.
   • If different dictionaries are specified with config and dict, a dictionary defined dict overrides those defined in the config.

from sudachipy import Dictionary

# default: sudachidict_core
tokenizer_obj = Dictionary().create()

# The dictionary given by the `systemDict` key in the config file (/path/to/sudachi.json) will be used
tokenizer_obj = Dictionary(config="/path/to/sudachi.json").create()

# The dictionary specified by `dict` will be used.
tokenizer_obj = Dictionary(dict="core").create()  # sudachidict_core (same as default)
tokenizer_obj = Dictionary(dict="small").create()  # sudachidict_small
tokenizer_obj = Dictionary(dict="full").create()  # sudachidict_full

# The dictionary specified by `dict` overrides those defined in the config.
# In the following code, `sudachidict_full` will be used regardless of a dictionary defined in the config file.
tokenizer_obj = Dictionary(config="/path/to/sudachi.json", dict="full").create()

Dictionary in The Setting File

Alternatively, if the dictionary file is specified in the setting file, sudachi.json, SudachiPy will use that file.

{
    "systemDict" : "relative/path/from/resourceDir/to/system.dic",
    ...
}

The default setting file is sudachi.json. You can specify your sudachi.json with the -r option.

$ sudachipy -r path/to/sudachi.json

User Dictionary

To use a user dictionary, user.dic, place sudachi.json to anywhere you like, and add userDict value with the relative path from sudachi.json to your user.dic.

{
    "userDict" : ["relative/path/to/user.dic"],
    ...
}

Then specify your sudachi.json with the -r option.

$ sudachipy -r path/to/sudachi.json

You can build a user dictionary with the subcommand ubuild.

$ sudachipy ubuild -h
usage: sudachipy ubuild [-h] [-o file] [-d string] -s file file [file ...]

Build User Dictionary

positional arguments:
  file        source files with CSV format (one or more)

options:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -o file     output file (default: user.dic)
  -d string   description comment to be embedded on dictionary

required named arguments:
  -s file     system dictionary path

About the dictionary file format, please refer to this document (written in Japanese, English version is not available yet).

Customized System Dictionary

$ sudachipy build -h
usage: sudachipy build [-h] [-o file] [-d string] -m file file [file ...]

Build Sudachi Dictionary

positional arguments:
  file        source files with CSV format (one of more)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  -o file     output file (default: system.dic)
  -d string   description comment to be embedded on dictionary

required named arguments:
  -m file     connection matrix file with MeCab's matrix.def format

To use your customized system.dic, place sudachi.json to anywhere you like, and overwrite systemDict value with the relative path from sudachi.json to your system.dic.

{
    "systemDict" : "relative/path/to/system.dic",
    ...
}

Then specify your sudachi.json with the -r option.

$ sudachipy -r path/to/sudachi.json
