Platform For AI:Word Splitting

You can configure the parameters of the Word Splitting component on the pipeline page of Machine Learning Designer of Machine Learning Platform for AI (PAI). Machine Learning Designer is formerly known as Machine Learning Studio. The following table describes the parameters.

Tab	Parameter	Description
Fields Setting	Column	The columns used for word splitting.
Parameters Setting	Recognition Options	The types of content for recognition. Valid values: Recognize Simple Entities Recognize Individual Names Recognize Organization Names Recognize Telephone Numbers Recognize Times Recognize Dates Recognize Alphanumeric Characters By default, the following options are selected: Recognize Simple Entities, Recognize Telephone Numbers, Recognize Times, Recognize Dates, and Recognize Alphanumeric Characters.
	Merge Options	The types of content for merging. Valid values: Merge Chinese Numbers Merge Arabic Numerals Merge Chinese Dates Merge Chinese Times Default value: Merge Arabic Numbers.
	Tokenizer	The type of the tokenizer. Valid values: TAOBAO_CHN and INTERNET_CHN. Default value: TAOBAO_CHN.
	Pos Tagger	Specifies whether to enable POS tagging. By default, POS tagging is enabled.
	Semantic Tagger	Specifies whether to enable semantic tagging. By default, semantic tagging is disabled.
	Filter Out Words That Contain Only Numbers	Specifies whether to filter out words whose word segmentation results are numbers. By default, this option is cleared.
	Filter Out Words That Contain Only English Letters	Specifies whether to filter out words whose word segmentation results are English letters. By default, this option is cleared.
	Filter Out Words That Contain Only Punctuations	Specifies whether to filter out words whose word segmentation results are punctuation marks. By default, this option is cleared.
Tuning	Cores	The number of cores. By default, the system determines the value.
	Memory Size per Core	The memory size of each core. By default, the system determines the value.

Configure the component parameters by using PAI commands. You can use the SQL Script component to call PAI commands. For more information, see SQL Script.

Parameter	Required	Description	Default value
inputTableName	Yes	The name of the input table.	No default value
inputTablePartitions	No	The partitions selected from the input table for word splitting. This value must be in the partition_name=value format. To specify multiple partitions, use the following format: name1=value1/name2=value2. If you specify multiple partitions, separate them with commas (,).	All partitions
selectedColNames	Yes	The names of the columns selected from the input table for word splitting. If multiple columns are specified, separate them with commas (,).	No default value
dictTableName	No	Specifies whether to use a custom dictionary. A custom dictionary has only one column, and each row contains only one word.	No default value
tokenizer	No	The type of the tokenizer. Valid values: TAOBAO_CHN and INTERNET_CHN.	TAOBAO_CHN
enableDfa	No	Specifies whether to recognize simple entities. Valid values: True and False.	True
enablePersonNameTagger	No	Specifies whether to recognize individual names. Valid values: True and False.	False
enableOrgnizationTagger	No	Specifies whether to recognize organization names. Valid values: True and False.	False
enablePosTagger	No	Specifies whether to enable POS tagging. Valid values: True and False.	False
enableTelephoneRetrievalUnit	No	Specifies whether to recognize telephone numbers. Valid values: True and False.	True
enableTimeRetrievalUnit	No	Specifies whether to recognize time expressions. Valid values: True and False.	True
enableDateRetrievalUnit	No	Specifies whether to recognize date expressions. Valid values: True and False.	True
enableNumberLetterRetrievalUnit	No	Specifies whether to recognize digits and letters. Valid values: True and False.	True
enableChnNumMerge	No	Specifies whether to merge Chinese numbers into a retrieval unit. Valid values: True and False.	False
enableNumMerge	No	Specifies whether to merge Arabic numerals into a retrieval unit. Valid values: True and False.	True
enableChnTimeMerge	No	Specifies whether to merge Chinese time expressions into a semantic unit. Valid values: True and False.	False
enableChnDateMerge	No	Specifies whether to merge Chinese date expressions into a semantic unit. Valid values: True and False.	False
enableSemanticTagger	No	Specifies whether to enable semantic tagging. Valid values: True and False.	False
outputTableName	Yes	The name of the output table.	No default value
outputTablePartition	No	The names of the partitions in the output table.	No default value
coreNum	No	The number of cores. This parameter takes effect only when the memSizePerCore parameter is set. The value must be a positive integer in the range of [1,9999].	Determined by the system
memSizePerCore	No	The memory size of each core. Unit: MB. The value must be a positive integer in the range of [1024,64 × 1024].	Determined by the system
lifecycle	No	The lifecycle of the output table. The value must be a positive integer.	No default value

If you use a regular table, we recommend that you do not set the coreNum and memSizePerCore parameters. The Word Splitting component automatically determines the parameter values by default.

If your resources are limited, you can use the following code to calculate the number of cores and the memory size of each core:

def CalcCoreNumAndMem(row, col, kOneCoreDataSize=1024):
    """Calculates the number of cores and memory size of each core.
       Args:
           row: the number of rows in the input table.
           col: the number of columns in the input table.
           kOneCoreDataSize: the amount of data that can be computed by each core. Unit: MB. The value must be a positive integer. Default value: 1024.
       Return:
           coreNum, memSizePerCore
       Example:
           coreNum, memSizePerCore = CalcCoreNumAndMem(1000,99, 100, kOneCoreDataSize=2048)
    """
    kMBytes = 1024.0 * 1024.0
    # Number of cores involved in computing
    coreNum = max(1, int(row * col * 1000/ kMBytes / kOneCoreDataSize))
    # Memory size per core = Data amount
    memSizePerCore = max(1024,  int(kOneCoreDataSize*2))
    return coreNum,  memSizePerCore
