FCG PropBank

The FCG PropBank system facilitates the learning of large-scale broad-coverage computational construction grammars from PropBank-annotated corpora.

Getting Started

  • For most users, the easiest way to interact with the FCG PropBank system is through its Python API. A tutorial is available here. There is no need to clone the entire repository. The tutorial should run perfectly fine with the pyfcg library installed via pip.
  • Source code of the grammar learning method as part of the Babel framework: Repository link.
