DadmaTools is a repository for Natural Language Processing resources for the Persian Language. The aim is to make it easier and more applicable to practitioners in the industry to use Persian NLP, and hence this project is licensed to allow commercial use. The project features code examples on how to use the models in popular NLP frameworks such as spaCy and Transformers, as well as Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch. Furthermore, DadmaTools support common Persian embedding and Persian datasets. for more details about how to use this tool read the instruction below.
Contents:
To get started using DadmaTools, install the project with pip:
-
Full Version
Includes all features, including transformers and trainable modules:pip install dadmatools
-
Light Version
For users who prefer only datasets and non-trainable modules without transformers:pip install dadmatools[light]
Alternatively you can install the latest version from github using:
pip install git+https://github.com/Dadmatech/dadmatools.gitNatural Language Processing is an active area of research, and it consists of many different tasks. The DadmaTools repository provides an overview of Persian models for some of the most basic NLP tasks (and is continuously evolving).
Here is the list of NLP tasks we currently cover in the repository. These NLP tasks are defined as pipelines. Therefore, a pipeline list must be created and passed through the model. This will allow the user to choose the only task needed without loading others. Each task has its abbreviation as follows:
- Named Entity Recognition:
ner - Part of speech tagging:
pos - Dependency parsing:
dep - Constituency parsing:
cons - Kasreh Ezafe Detection:
kasreh - Chunking:
chunk - Lemmatizing:
lem - Tokenizing:
tok - Spellchecker:
spellchecker - Normalizing
- informal2formal:
itf - Sentiment analysis:
sent
Note that the normalizer can be used outside of the pipeline as there are several configs (the default config is in the pipeline with the name of def-norm). Note that if no pipeline is passed to the model, the tokenizer will be loaded as default.

import dadmatools.pipeline.language as language
# here lemmatizer and pos tagger will be loaded
# as tokenizer is the default tool, it will be loaded as well even without calling
pips = 'tok, lem, pos, dep, chunk, cons, spellchecker, kasreh, itf, ner, sent'
nlp = language.Pipeline(pips)
# doc is an SpaCy object
doc = nlp('کشور بزرگ ایران توانسته در طی سال‌ها اغشار مختلفی از قومیت‌های گوناگون رو به خوبی تو خودش جا بده')doc object has different extensions. First, there are sentences in doc which is the list of the list of Token. Each Token also has its own extensions. Note that we defined our own extension as well in DadmaTools. If any pipeline related to the specific extensions is not called, that extension will have no value.
To better see the results which you can use this code:

abstract = "We introduce DadmaTools, an open-source Python Natural Language Processing toolkit for the Persian language. The toolkit is a neural pipeline based on spaCy for several text processing tasks, including normalization, tokenization, lemmatization, part-of-speech, dependency parsing, constituency parsing, chunking, and ezafe detecting. DadmaTools relies on fine-tuning of ParsBERT using the PerDT dataset for most of the tasks. Dataset module and embedding module are included in DadmaTools that support different Persian datasets, embeddings, and commonly used functions for them. Our evaluations show that DadmaTools can attain state-of-the-art performance on multiple NLP tasks. The source code is freely available at https://github.com/Dadmatech/DadmaTools.",
