✨ mbt — Memory Based Tagger ✨

okay so you opened the General Commands Manual for mbt, and honestly? good for you, bestie. this is the section 1 page, we're in the big leagues now. let's get into it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mbt [options]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. options only, no positional args, no drama. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, mbt is a memory-based tagger ✨ and what it does is tag sequences — based on training files that were generated by mbtg. that's the whole thing. it reads the training energy that mbtg left behind and then goes off and tags your sequences. main character behaviour, fr fr 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -h or --help — shows help. literally just the help. say hi to it for me 🫶
• -s settingsfile — use a settingsfile as generated by mbtg. like, mbtg already did the work, so you just point at it and go 🍓

Or:

• -l <lexiconfile> — the lexicon file
• -r <ambitagfile> — the ambitag file
• -k <known words case base> — the case base for known words
• -u <unknown words case base> — the case base for unknown words
• -D <loglevel> — set the loglevel. the possible levels are LogNormal, LogDebug, LogHeavy and LogExtreme. yes, LogExtreme. it's giving unhinged and we respect it 💀
• -e <sentence delimiter> — the sentence delimiter. default is '<utt>' 🌸
• -E <enriched tagged testfile> — the enriched tagged testfile
• -t <testfile> — the testfile
• -T <tagged testfile> — the tagged testfile. default is untagged stdin
• -o <outputfile> — the outputfile. default is stdout
• -Otimbl options — (note: there is NO SPACE between O and the options. not one. zero. none. it's a package deal bestie, don't split them up 😭)
  • <options> — classifier options for both known and unknown words instance bases
  • K: <options> — classifier options for the known words instance base
  • U: <options> — classifier options for the unknown words instance base
  • the valid timbl options are: a d k m q v w x -
• -B <beamsize for search> — the beamsize for search. default = 1 🔥
• -v di — add distance to the output
• -v db — add distribution to the output
• -v cf — add confidence to the output
• -V or --version — show version info. slay ⭐
• -L <file with list of frequent words> — a file with a list of frequent words

💀 BUGS 💀

possibly

not me writing a bug section that just says "possibly" 😭 iconic honestly. it's giving "we'll find out together". no cap.
