# Data Format
## Input Format
### RESTful Input
#### Definition
To make a RESTful call, one needs to send a `json` HTTP POST request to the server, which contains at least a `text`
field or a `tokens` field. The input to RESTful API is very flexible. It can be one of the following 3 formats:
1. It can be a document of raw `str` filled into `text`. The server will split it into sentences.
1. It can be a `list` of sentences, each sentence is a raw `str`, filled into `text`.
1. It can be a `list` of tokenized sentences, each sentence is a list of `str` typed tokens, filled into `tokens`.
```{eval-rst}
Additionally, fine-grained controls are performed with the arguments defined in
:meth:`hanlp_restful.HanLPClient.parse`.

#### Examples
```shell script
2022-04-20 12:55:08 -04:00
curl -X 'POST' \
'https://hanlp.hankcs.com/api/parse' \
-H 'accept: application/json' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{

### Model Input

````{margin} **How about training inputs?**
```{seealso}
We mostly follow the conventional file format of each NLP task instead of re-inventing them. Thus, we use `.tsv` for tagging and
`.conllu` for parsing etc. For more details, refer to [datasets](https://hanlp.hankcs.com/docs/api/hanlp/datasets/index.html).
```
````

The input format to models is specified per model and per task. Generally speaking, if a model has no tokenizer built in, then its input is
2021-01-03 02:07:15 -05:00
a sentence in `list[str]` form (a list of tokens), or multiple such sentences nested in a `list`.
If a model has a tokenizer built in, each sentence is in `str` form.
Additionally, you can use `skip_tasks='tok*'` to ask the model to use your tokenized inputs instead of tokenizing
2021-01-22 21:06:04 -05:00
them, in which case, each of your sentence needs to be in `list[str]` form, as if there was no tokenizer.
```{eval-rst}
For any model, its input is of sentence level, which means you have to split a document into sentences beforehand.
You may want to try :class:`~hanlp.components.eos.ngram.NgramSentenceBoundaryDetector` for sentence splitting.
```
## Output Format
```{eval-rst}
The outputs of both :class:`~hanlp_restful.HanLPClient` and
:class:`~hanlp.components.mtl.multi_task_learning.MultiTaskLearning` are unified as the same
:class:`~hanlp_common.document.Document` format.
```
For example, the following RESTful codes will output such an instance.
```{code-cell} ipython3
:tags: [output_scroll]
from hanlp_restful import HanLPClient
HanLP = HanLPClient('https://hanlp.hankcs.com/api', auth=None) # Fill in your auth
2022-07-15 20:20:19 -04:00
print(HanLP('2021年HanLPv2.1为生产环境带来次世代最先进的多语种NLP技术。晓美焰来到北京立方庭参观自然语义科技公司。'))
```

The outputs above is represented as a `json` dictionary where each key is a task name and its value is
the output of the corresponding task.
For each output, if it's a nested `list` then it contains multiple sentences otherwise it's just one single sentence.
We make the following naming convention of NLP tasks, each consists of 3 letters.
````{margin} **How about annotations?**
```{seealso}
Each NLP task can exploit multiple datasets with their annotations, see our [annotations](annotations/index) for details.
```

### Naming Convention
| key | Task | Chinese |
| ---- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------ |
| tok | Tokenization. Each element is a token. | 分词 |
| pos | Part-of-Speech Tagging. Each element is a tag. | 词性标注 |
| lem | Lemmatization. Each element is a lemma. | 词干提取 |
| fea | Features of Universal Dependencies. Each element is a feature. | 词法语法特征 |
2021-01-22 21:06:04 -05:00
| ner | Named Entity Recognition. Each element is a tuple of `(entity, type, begin, end)`, where `end`s are exclusive offsets. | 命名实体识别 |
| dep | Dependency Parsing. Each element is a tuple of `(head, relation)` where `head` starts with index `0` (which is `ROOT`). | 依存句法分析 |
| con | Constituency Parsing. Each list is a bracketed constituent. | 短语成分分析 |
2021-01-22 21:06:04 -05:00
| srl | Semantic Role Labeling. Similar to `ner`, each element is a tuple of `(arg/pred, label, begin, end)`, where the predicate is labeled as `PRED`. | 语义角色标注 |
2021-01-06 13:20:13 -05:00
| sdp | Semantic Dependency Parsing. Similar to `dep`, however each token can have any number (including zero) of heads and corresponding relations. | 语义依存分析 |
| amr | Abstract Meaning Representation. Each AMR graph is represented as list of logical triples. See [AMR guidelines](https://github.com/amrisi/amr-guidelines/blob/master/amr.md#example). | 抽象意义表示 |
2021-01-22 21:06:04 -05:00
When there are multiple models performing the same task, their keys are appended with a secondary identifier.
For example, `tok/fine` and `tok/corase` means a fine-grained tokenization model and a coarse-grained one respectively.
