COMBO-SEG Model for Norwegian
Model Description
This is a Norwegian-language character-level segmentation model based on COMBO-SEG, an open-source text segmentation system. It performs:
- sentence segmentation
- tokenisation (including multi-word token detection)
The Norwegian model uses `FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base` as its base encoder and is trained on UD_Norwegian-Nynorsk (UD v2.17).
Evaluation
Usage
Install the library from PyPI:
pip install combo-segfrom combo_seg import ComboSeg
# Load a pre-trained model
nlp = ComboSeg("Norwegian")
# Segment raw text — returns Document with hierarchy: Document -> Turn -> Sentence -> Token
doc = nlp("Den raske brune reven hopper over den late hunden.")
# Inspect results
for turn in doc.turns:
for sentence in turn.sentences:
print(f"Sentence: {sentence.text}")
for token in sentence.tokens:
if token.is_multi_word:
print(f" MWT: {token.text} -> {token.subwords}")
else:
print(f" Token: {token.text}")Or load directly from HuggingFace:
from combo_seg import ComboSeg
nlp = ComboSeg.from_pretrained("clarin-pl/combo-seg-xlm-roberta-base-norwegian-nynorsk-ud2.17")
doc = nlp("Den raske brune reven hopper over den late hunden.")License
