Uzbek-MWE-Tokenizer-uzBERT

Uzbek MWE Tokenizer (UzBERT)

The First AI-based Uzbek MWE Tokenizer

This model identifies Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) in Uzbek language texts using a transformer-based intelligent architecture based on UzBERT. It handles token classification for idiomatic expressions, compound nouns, and auxiliary verb constructions.

This model is fine-tuned on a Cyrillic-script dataset, enabling stable and consistent identification due to monographemic structures.

## How to use

We recommend using the official PyPI package, which handles both Latin and Cyrillic script conversion seamlessly:

```bash
pip install uzbek-mwe-tokenizer

Usage with the Package

from uzbek_mwe_tokenizer import UzbekMWETokenizer

# Latin mode example
tokenizer = UzbekMWETokenizer(mode="lot")
mwes = tokenizer.extract_mwe("Natijani ko'rib, hamma o'quvchilarning birdaniga tarvuzi qo'ltig'idan tushdi.")
print(mwes)

# Cyrillic mode example
tokenizer_cyr = UzbekMWETokenizer(mode="cyr")
mwes_cyr = tokenizer_cyr.extract_mwe("Рақибларимизни кўриб бизнинг асло тепа сочимиз тик бўлмади.")
print(mwes_cyr)

Expected Output:

[{'mwe': "tarvuzi qo'ltig'idan tushdi", 'confidence': 100.0}]

Direct Usage with HuggingFace Transformers

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

model_name = "MaksudSharipov/Uzbek-MWE-Tokenizer-uzBERT"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name, use_fast=False)
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

(Note: Using the PyPI package is highly recommended as it contains built-in logic to group split subwords back into MWE phrases and supports automatic transliteration for Latin scripts).
