Downloading Models¶
Polyglot requires a model for each task and language. These models are essential for the library to function. Given the large size of some of the models, we distribute the models through a download manager separately. The download manager has several modes of operation.
Modes of Operation¶
Command Line Mode¶
The subcommand download takes a package or more as an argument and
download the specified packages in the polyglot_data directory.
!polyglot download --help
usage: polyglot download [-h] [--dir DIR] [--quiet] [--force] [--exit-on-error] [--url SERVER_INDEX_URL] [packages [packages ...]]
positional arguments:
packages packages to be downloaded
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--dir DIR download package to directory DIR
--quiet work quietly
--force download even if already installed
--exit-on-error exit if an error occurs
--url SERVER_INDEX_URL
download server index url
!polyglot download morph2.en
[polyglot_data] Downloading package morph2.en to
[polyglot_data] /home/rmyeid/polyglot_data...
[polyglot_data] Package morph2.en is already up-to-date!
Interactive Mode¶
You can reach this mode by not supplying any arguments to the command line.
!polyglot download

Library Interface¶
from polyglot.downloader import downloader
downloader.download("embeddings2.en")
Collections¶
You noticed, by now, that we can install a specific model by specifying its name and the target language.
Package name format is task_name.language_code
Packages are grouped by language. For example, if we want to download
all the models that are specific to Arabic, the arabic collection of
models name is LANG: followed by the language code of Arabic which
is ar.
Therefore, we can just run:
!polyglot download LANG:ar
[polyglot_data] Downloading collection u'LANG:ar'
[polyglot_data] |
[polyglot_data] | Downloading package tsne2.ar to
[polyglot_data] | /home/rmyeid/polyglot_data...

[polyglot_data] | Package embeddings2.ar is already up-to-date!
[polyglot_data] | Downloading package ner2.ar to
[polyglot_data] | /home/rmyeid/polyglot_data...
[polyglot_data] | Package ner2.ar is already up-to-date!
[polyglot_data] |
[polyglot_data] Done downloading collection LANG:ar
Packages are grouped by task. For example, if we want to download all the models that perform transliteration. The collection name is TASK: followed by the task name.
Therefore, we can just run:
downloader.download("TASK:transliteration2", quiet=True)
True
Langauge & Task Support¶
We can query our download manager for which tasks are supported by polyglot, as the following:
downloader.supported_tasks(lang="en")
[u'embeddings2',
u'counts2',
u'pos2',
u'ner2',
u'sentiment2',
u'morph2',
u'tsne2']
We can query our download manager for which languages are supported by polyglot named entity recognition subsystem, as the following:
print(downloader.supported_languages_table(task="ner2"))
1. Polish 2. Turkish 3. Russian
4. Indonesian 5. Czech 6. Arabic
7. Korean 8. Catalan; Valencian 9. Italian
10. Thai 11. Romanian, Moldavian, ... 12. Tagalog
