Output Format

[JorKidd]

I'm trying to parse sentences from a corpus, and in the output there are numbers as shown in the attached image (e.g., '0', '0', '1,2', etc.). A file describing the output format stated:

%f[N1,N2,N3...]` | Display the N1, N2, and N3rd background, "," as the elimita

%FC[N1,N2,N3...] | The N1, N2, and N3rd background, C is displayed as a delimiter.However, if the element is empty, the display will be omitted. (Example) F-[0,1,2]

In this case, are these what the numbers are displaying? If so, what do the numbers mean exactly?

Also, is there any dependency tagging that we can use to extract nominal phrases?

Your question looks very similar to SamuraiT/mecab-python3#91.

To answer some specific points:

• MeCab doesn't provide dependency parses or similar sentence structure information, it is not that kind of "parser"
• the numbers in the last column are pitch accent data from UniDic, but that depends on your config settings
