Apply a model

This document explains how to apply a YASET model on test data.

Data Format

YASET accepts CoNLL-like formatted data:

• one token per line
• sequences separated by blank lines

The difference with train and validation data is that test data do not need to have a label column. Hence the minimum number of column is one (i.e. the token column). You can add as many other columns you need. They will be ignored by the system.

During the APPLY phase, YASET will add one column to the document with the predicted labels.

Apply a model

To apply a model, run the following command

$ yaset [--debug] APPLY --working-dir /path/to/working_dir \
   --input-file /path/to/file.tab \
   --model-path /path/to/pre-trained-model

Argument description:

--working-dir

Specify the working directory path where a timestamped working directory will be created for the current run. For instance, if you specify $USER/temp, the directory $USER/temp/yaset-apply-YYYYMMDD will be created.

--input-file

Specify the input test file which contains the test instances.

--model-path

Specify the path of the YASET model
