Lamon (LAtin MOrphological tools, pronounced /leɪmən/) is a simple POS tagger & lemmatizer for Latin written in C++ and Lamonpy is a Python package of Lamon. You can easily obtain lemma and tag of each word in given text using Lamonpy.
You can install Lamonpy easily using pip. (https://pypi.org/project/lamonpy/)
$ pip install --upgrade pip $ pip install lamonpy
The supported OS and Python versions are:
- Linux (x86-64) with Python >= 3.5
- macOS >= 10.13 with Python >= 3.5
- Windows 7 or later (x86, x86-64) with Python >= 3.5
- Other OS with Python >= 3.5: Compilation from source code required (with c++11 compatible compiler)
Here is a simple example using Lamonpy to analyze Latin texts.
from lamonpy import Lamon
lamon = Lamon()
score, tagged = lamon.tag('In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.')[0]
print(tagged)
# `tagged` is a list of tuples `(start_pos, end_pos, lemma, tag)`
# [(0, 2, 'in', 'r--------'),
# (3, 12, 'principium', 'n-s---nb-'),
# (13, 20, 'creo', 'v3sria---'),
# (21, 25, 'deus', 'n-s---mn-'),
# (26, 32, 'caelus', 'n-s---ma-'),
# (33, 35, 'et', 'c--------'),
# (36, 42, 'terra', 'n-s---fa-'),
# (42, 43, '.', '---------')]
Lamon's tagging model is based on BiLSTM network trained with Perseus Latin Dependency Treebanks (4,000 sentences) and self-trained with raw Latin corpora (440,000 sentences) collected by Latina Vivense.
Since there is no available standard for evaluating Latin taggers, we built own test set named vivens of 900 sentences. The result of evaluation is shown below:
| vivens (900 sents) | Perseus (4000 sents) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| lemma | tag | both | lemma | tag | both | |
| Lamon | 94.6 | 83.0 | 81.1 | 89.4 | 80.2 | 76.6 |
| Lamon (large) | 94.2 | 83.3 | 81.3 | 89.7 | 81.9 | 78.3 |
| Lamon (uv.) | 94.4 | 82.6 | 80.7 | 87.7 | 77.9 | 73.8 |
| Backoff | 88.1 | 92.4 | ||||
| 123 POS | 58.1 | 54.8 | 83.8 | 79.6 | ||
| CRF POS | 69.1 | 63.4 | 77.3 | 72.9 | ||
- Lamon : base size (embedding_size:80, hidden_size:160)
- Lamon (large) : large size (embedding_size:160, hidden_size:320)
- Lamon (uv.) : large size without Perseus' dataset
- Backoff : cltk.lemmatize.latin.backoff.BackoffLatinLemmatizer
- 123 POS : cltk.tag.pos.POSTag.tag_ngram_123_backoff
- CRF POS : cltk.tag.pos.POSTag.tag_crf
- For calculating both score of 123 POS and CRF POS, Backoff's results are used.
Since Lamon and all cltk's tagger are trained with Perseus' dataset, the scores for Perseus are not significant for confirming the actual accuracy of each model. Rather, it shows that 123 POS and CRF POS are overfitting to Perseus's dataset.
Because the size of the vivens dataset is small, the results of this evaluation can be inaccurate. We plan to acquire larger dataset for evaluation and publish the dataset to make more accurate evaluation.
Lamon supports three types of tagset.

Due to the package size limit of pypi, the distributed wheel package contains base model only. We provide larger models by Google-drive links.
- Large model : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1u8LdvD-zKtrj7kDRs6CjQw74ZG6aT8jS/view?usp=sharing
- Large model (unsupervised) : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nw8LO_1o0O894gXzgQ7Hx5Fyikvy1w2u/view?usp=sharing
You can use these models by passing the model path to Lamon.__init__ as arguments.
from lamonpy import Lamon lamon = Lamon(dict_path='dict.large.bin', tagger_path='tagger.large.bin')
