Maltese Lemmatizer

Description

This is a dictionary-based lemmatizer that assigns all forms and inflections of a word to a single root. This enables the pipeline to treat the past and present tense of a verb, for example, as the same word instead of two completely different words.

How to use

document_assembler = DocumentAssembler() \
    .setInputCol("text") \
    .setOutputCol("document")

tokenizer = Tokenizer()\
    .setInputCols(["document"]) \
    .setOutputCol("token")

lemmatizer = LemmatizerModel.pretrained("lemma", "mt") \
        .setInputCols(["token"]) \
        .setOutputCol("lemma")

pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[document_assembler, tokenizer, lemmatizer])

example = spark.createDataFrame([["Il- Membru tal- Kumitat Leo Brincat talab li bħala xhud ikun hemm rappreżentant tal- MEPA u kien hemm qbil filwaqt li d- Deputat Laburista Joe Mizzi ta lista ta' persuni oħrajn mill- Korporazzjoni Enemalta u minn WasteServ u ma kienx hemm oġġezzjoni ."]], ["text"])
