COMBO-NLP Model for Bulgarian

Model Description

This is a Bulgarian-language model based on combo-nlp, an open-source natural language preprocessing system. It performs:

sentence segmentation (via combo-seg)
tokenisation (via combo-seg)
part-of-speech tagging
morphological analysis
lemmatisation
dependency parsing

The Bulgarian model uses FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base as its base encoder and is trained on UD_Bulgarian-BTB (UD v2.17).

Evaluation

Evaluation was performed on the UD_Bulgarian-BTB test split using the standard CoNLL 2018 eval script.

Two evaluation rows are reported:

Full-text (F1): raw text is segmented by 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)	99.89	99.01	99.92	99.45	97.80	98.24	97.31	98.51
Aligned accuracy	0.00	0.00	0.00	99.53	97.88	98.33	97.39	98.59

Dependency Parsing

Metric	UAS	LAS	CLAS	MLAS	BLEX
Full-text (F1)	96.30	94.07	91.76	88.87	89.75
Aligned accuracy	96.38	94.14	91.76	88.86	89.74

Usage

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

pip install combo-nlp

The 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("Bulgarian")

# Parse raw text (handles sentence splitting + tokenization)
result = nlp("Бързата кафява лисица прескача мързеливото куче.")

# 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}")
