This docker container allows you to build, install and run the most recent version of the Charniak parser (aka Charniak-Johnson reranking parser, BLLIP parser) in a docker container.
git clone https://github.com/NLPbox/charniak-docker
cd charniak-docker
docker build -t charniak-docker .
To test if parser works, just run docker run charniak.
To run the parser on the file /tmp/input.txt on your
local machine with the standard parser model, run:
docker run -v /tmp:/tmp -ti charniak /tmp/input.txt
Input files must be sentence segmented, with sentences enclosed in an
<s> element and surrounded by spaces:
<s> Sentence 1 </s>
<s> Sentence 2 </s>
<s> Henryk Szeryng (22 September 1918 - 8 March 1988) was a violin
virtuoso of Polish and Jewish heritage. </s>
<s> He was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. </s>
<s> Henryk started piano and harmony training with his mother when he
was 5, and at age 7 turned to the violin, receiving instruction from
Maurice Frenkel. </s>
<s> After studies with Carl Flesch in Berlin (1929-32), he went to
Paris to continue his training with Jacques Thibaud at the
Conservatory, graduating with a premier prix in 1937. </s>
<s> He made his solo debut in 1933 playing the Brahms Violin Concerto.
</s><s> From 1933 to 1939 he studied composition in Paris with Nadia
Boulanger, and during World War II he worked as an interpreter for the
Polish government in exile (Szeryng was fluent in seven languages) and
gave concerts for Allied troops all over the world. </s><s> During one
of these concerts in Mexico City he received an offer to take over the
string department of the university there. </s>
<s> In 1946, he became a naturalized citizen of Mexico. </s>
<s> Szeryng subsequently focused on teaching before resuming his
concert career in 1954. </s><s> His debut in New York City brought him
great acclaim, and he toured widely for the rest of his life. </s>
<s> He died in Kassel. </s>
<s> Szeryng made a number of recordings, including two of the complete
sonatas and partitas for violin by Johann Sebastian Bach, and several
of sonatas of Beethoven and Brahms with the pianist Arthur
Rubinstein. </s><s> He also composed; his works include a number of violin
concertos and pieces of chamber music. </s>
<s> He owned the Del Gesu "Le Duc", the Stradivarius "King David" as
well as the Messiah Strad copy by Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume which he gave
to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. </s><s> The "Le Duc" was the instrument on
which he performed and recorded mostly, while the latter ("King David"
Strad) was donated to the State of Israel. </s>
