pyclausie

Python wrapper around ClausIE. This will take a list of sentences and return a list of triples.

How to Install

>>> python setup.py install

Example Usage

To start you must create a ClausIE instance from the pyclausie package.

>>> from pyclausie import ClausIE
>>> cl = ClausIE.get_instance()

get_instance() will automatically download the clausie jar file. If you have an existing clausie jar file you can specifiy the file using the jar_filename parameter.

To extract triples from a sentence use the extract_triples() method. This method takes a list of sentences as input and will return a list of Triple objects.

>>> sents = ['I learned that the 2012 Sasquatch music festival is '
...          'scheduled for May 25th until May 28.']
>>> triples = cl.extract_triples(sents)
>>> for triple in triples:
...     print triple
Triple(index='1', subject='I', predicate='learned', object='that the 2012 Sasquatch music festival is scheduled for May 25th until May 28')
Triple(index='1', subject='the 2012 Sasquatch music festival', predicate='is scheduled', object='for May 25th until May 28')
Triple(index='1', subject='the 2012 Sasquatch music festival', predicate='is scheduled', object='for May 25th')

This shows three triples returned by clausie for the given sentence. If you wish to get the confidence score you should pass the parameter print_sent_confidence=True to the extract_triples() method.
