alpino-tokenizer

This Rust crate provides a tokenizer based on finite state transducers. It is primarily designed to use the Alpino tokenizer for Dutch, but in principle, you could load a tokenizer for any language.

The transducer of the Alpino tokenizer can be downloaded. We will synchronize the transducer regularly as the tokenizer in Alpino is updated.

You can use the alpino-tokenizer crate to integrate the tokenizer in your Rust programs.

For convenience, an alpino-tokenize command-line utility is provided for tokenizing text on from the shell or in shell scripts.

Installing the alpino-tokenize command-line utility

cargo

The alpino-tokenize utility can be installed with cargo:

$ cargo install alpino-tokenize

Nix

This repository is also a Nix flake. If you use a Nix version that supports flakes, you can start a shell with alpino-tokenize as follows:

$ nix shell github:danieldk/alpino-tokenizer
