When one talks about the “success” of a Natural Language Processing solution, they often refer to its ability to analyse the semantic and syntactic structure of a given sentence. Such a solution is expected to be able to understand both the linear and hierarchical order of the words in a sentence, unveil embedded structures, illustrate syntactical relationships and have a firm grasp of the argument structure. In order to meet the expectations, cutting edge Natural Language Processing systems like parsers, POS taggers or machine translation systems make use of syntactically or semantically annotated treebanks. Such treebanks offer a deep look through the surface and into the logical form of sentences.
Annotated treebanks can be categorised as constituency treebanks and dependency treebanks. Constituency treebanks offers clarity through resolving structural ambiguities, and successfully illustrates the syntagmatic relations like adjunct, complement, predicate, internal argument, external argument and such.
The very first comprehensive annotated treebank, the Penn Treebank, was created for the English language and offers 40,000 annotated sentences. Following the Penn Treebank, numerous treebanks annotated for constituency structures were developed in different languages including French, German, Finnish, Hungarian, Chinese and Arabic.

To check if you have a compatible version of Node.js installed, use the following command:
node -v
You can find the latest version of Node.js here.
Install the latest version of Git.
npm install nlptoolkit-parsetree
In order to work on code, create a fork from GitHub page. Use Git for cloning the code to your local or below line for Ubuntu:
git clone <your-fork-git-link>
A directory called util will be created. Or you can use below link for exploring the code:
git clone https://github.com/starlangsoftware/parsetree-js.git
Steps for opening the cloned project:
- Start IDE
- Select File | Open from main menu
- Choose
PrseTree-Jsfile - Select open as project option
- Couple of seconds, dependencies will be downloaded.
To load a TreeBank composed of saved ParseTrees from a folder:
TreeBank(folder: string)
To load trees with a specified pattern from a folder of trees:
TreeBank(folder: string, pattern: string)
the line above is used. For example,
a = TreeBank("/mypath");
the line below is used to load trees under the folder "mypath" which is under the current folder. If only the trees with ".train" extension under the same folder are to be loaded:
a = TreeBank("/mypath", ".train");
the line below is used.
To iterate over the trees after the TreeBank is loaded:
for (let i = 0; i < a.size(); i++){
let p = a.get(i);
}
a block of code like this can be useful.
To load a saved ParseTree:
ParseTree(file: string)
is used. Usually it is more useful to load a TreeBank as explained above than loading the ParseTree one by one.
To find the node number of a ParseTree:
nodeCount(): number
leaf number of a ParseTree:
leafCount(): number
number of words in a ParseTree:
wordCount(excludeStopWords: boolean): number
above methods can be used.

- main and types are important when this package will be imported.
"main": "dist/index.js",
"types": "dist/index.d.ts",
- Dependencies should be maximum (not only direct but also indirect references should also be given), everything directly in the code should be given here.
"dependencies": {
"nlptoolkit-corpus": "^1.0.12",
"nlptoolkit-dictionary": "^1.0.14",
"nlptoolkit-morphologicalanalysis": "^1.0.19",
"nlptoolkit-xmlparser": "^1.0.7"
}
- Compiler flags currently includes nodeNext for importing.
"compilerOptions": {
"outDir": "dist",
"module": "nodeNext",
"sourceMap": true,
"noImplicitAny": true,
"removeComments": false,
"declaration": true,
},
- tests, node_modules and dist should be excluded.
"exclude": [
"tests",
"node_modules",
"dist"
]
- Should include all ts classes.
export * from "./CategoryType"
export * from "./InterlingualDependencyType"
export * from "./InterlingualRelation"
export * from "./Literal"
- Add data files to the project folder. Subprojects should include all data files of the parent projects.
- Classes should be defined as exported.
export class JCN extends ICSimilarity{
- Do not forget to comment each function.
/**
* Computes JCN wordnet similarity metric between two synsets.
* @param synSet1 First synset
* @param synSet2 Second synset
* @return JCN wordnet similarity metric between two synsets
*/
computeSimilarity(synSet1: SynSet, synSet2: SynSet): number {
- Function names should follow caml case.
setSynSetId(synSetId: string){
- Write getter and setter methods.
getRelation(index: number): Relation{
setName(name: string){
- Use standard javascript test style.
describe('SimilarityPathTest', function() {
describe('SimilarityPathTest', function() {
it('testComputeSimilarity', function() {
let turkish = new WordNet();
let similarityPath = new SimilarityPath(turkish);
assert.strictEqual(32.0, similarityPath.computeSimilarity(turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0656390"), turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0600460")));
assert.strictEqual(13.0, similarityPath.computeSimilarity(turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0412120"), turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0755370")));
assert.strictEqual(13.0, similarityPath.computeSimilarity(turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0195110"), turkish.getSynSetWithId("TUR10-0822980")));
});
});
});
- Enumerated types should be declared with enum.
export enum CategoryType {
MATHEMATICS, SPORT, MUSIC, SLANG, BOTANIC,
PLURAL, MARINE, HISTORY, THEOLOGY, ZOOLOGY,
METAPHOR, PSYCHOLOGY, ASTRONOMY, GEOGRAPHY, GRAMMAR,
MILITARY, PHYSICS, PHILOSOPHY, MEDICAL, THEATER,

}
- If there are multiple constructors for a class, define them as constructor1, constructor2, ..., then from the original constructor call these methods.
constructor1(symbol: any){
constructor2(symbol: any, multipleFile: MultipleFile) {
constructor(symbol: any, multipleFile: MultipleFile = undefined) {
if (multipleFile == undefined){
this.constructor1(symbol);
} else {
this.constructor2(symbol, multipleFile);
}
}
- Importing should be done via import method with referencing the node-modules.
import {Corpus} from "nlptoolkit-corpus/dist/Corpus";
import {Sentence} from "nlptoolkit-corpus/dist/Sentence";
- Use xmlparser package for parsing xml files.
var doc = new XmlDocument("test.xml")
doc.parse()
let root = doc.getFirstChild()
let firstChild = root.getFirstChild()
