# COMBO-NLP Model for Armenian

## Model Description

This is a Armenian-language model based on [combo-nlp](https://pypi.org/project/combo-nlp/), an open-source natural language preprocessing system. It performs:

- sentence segmentation (via [combo-seg](https://pypi.org/project/combo-seg/))
- tokenisation (via [combo-seg](https://pypi.org/project/combo-seg/))
- part-of-speech tagging
- morphological analysis
- lemmatisation
- dependency parsing

The Armenian model uses ``FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base`` as its base encoder and is trained on [UD_Armenian-ArmTDP](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies/UD_Armenian-ArmTDP) (UD v2.17).

## Evaluation

Evaluation was performed on the UD_Armenian-ArmTDP test split using the standard [CoNLL 2018 eval script](https://universaldependencies.org/conll18/conll18_ud_eval.py).

Two evaluation rows are reported:
- **Full-text (F1)**: raw text is segmented by [combo-seg](https://pypi.org/project/combo-seg/), then parsed and compared against gold — measures end-to-end pipeline performance including segmentation quality.
- **Aligned accuracy**: accuracy on correctly segmented (aligned) tokens — measures parsing quality on tokens that were correctly identified by the segmenter.

### Morphosyntactic Tagging

| Metric | Tokens | Sentences | Words | UPOS | XPOS | UFeats | AllTags | Lemmas |
| ------ | ------ | --------- | ----- | ---- | ---- | ------ | ------- | ------ |
| Full-text (F1) | 99.62 | 90.05 | 98.19 | 96.46 | 98.19 | 90.43 | 89.90 | 95.77 |
| Aligned accuracy | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 98.24 | 100.00 | 92.09 | 91.56 | 97.53 |

### Dependency Parsing

| Metric | UAS | LAS | CLAS | MLAS | BLEX |
| ------ | --- | --- | ---- | ---- | ---- |
| Full-text (F1) | 88.84 | 85.32 | 82.71 | 72.94 | 80.47 |
| Aligned accuracy | 90.48 | 86.90 | 84.12 | 74.18 | 81.84 |


## Usage

Install the library from PyPI (assuming you have a virtual environment created):

```bash
pip install combo-nlp
```

The [combo-seg](https://pypi.org/project/combo-seg/) segmenter (used to split and
tokenise raw text) is installed automatically as a dependency of `combo-nlp`, so
no extra install step is needed.

```python
from combo import COMBO

# Load a pre-trained model with the corresponding combo-seg segmenter
nlp = COMBO("Armenian")

# Parse raw text (handles sentence splitting + tokenization)
result = nlp("Արագ շագանակագույն աղվեսը թսկնում է ծույլ շան հատուկին.")

# Inspect results
for sentence in result:
    for token in sentence:
        print(f"{token.form:<15} {token.lemma:<15} {token.upos:<8} head={token.head}  {token.deprel}")
```
