COMBO-NLP Model for Korean

Model Description

This is a Korean-language model based on COMBO-NLP, an open-source natural language preprocessing system. It performs:

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

The Korean model uses FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base as its base encoder and is trained on UD_Korean-Kaist (UD v2.17).

Evaluation

Evaluation was performed on the UD_Korean-Kaist test split using the standard CoNLL 2018 eval script.

Two evaluation rows are reported:

• Full-text (F1): raw text is segmented by LAMBO, 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)	99.91	99.93	99.91	96.58	89.25	99.91	89.06	93.16
Aligned accuracy	0.00	0.00	0.00	96.67	89.33	100.00	89.14	93.24

Dependency Parsing

Metric	UAS	LAS	CLAS	MLAS	BLEX
Full-text (F1)	90.16	88.22	86.96	84.47	80.66
Aligned accuracy	90.24	88.30	87.04	84.55	80.73

Usage

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

pip install combo-nlp

Install the Lambo segmenter - only needed when passing raw text strings to COMBO:

pip install --index-url https://pypi.clarin-pl.eu/ lambo

from combo import COMBO

# Load a pre-trained model with corresponding Lambo segmenter
nlp = COMBO("Korean")

# Parse raw text (handles sentence splitting + tokenization)
result = nlp("빠른 갈색 여우가 게으른 개를 뛰어넘는다.")

# 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}")
