GreynirSeq is a natural language parsing toolkit for Icelandic focused on sequence modeling with neural networks. It is under active development and is in its early stages.
The modeling part (nicenlp) of GreynirSeq is built on top of the excellent fairseq from Facebook (which is built on top of pytorch).
GreynirSeq is licensed under the MIT license unless otherwise stated at the top of a file. Model files hosted by Miðeind or on Hugging Face are under the CC-BY-4.0 or the GNU AFFERO GPLv3 licenses; please see the individual repositories for details.
Be aware that usage of the CLI or otherwise downloading model files will result in downloading of gigabytes of data.
Simply installing greynirseq
will not download any models, they are automatically downloaded on-demand.
In a suitable virtual environment
# From PyPI
$ pip install greynirseq
# or from git main branch
$ pip install git+https://github.com/mideind/greynirseq@main
The greynirseq
CLI interface can be used to run pretrained models for various tasks. Run pip install greynirseq && greynirseq -h
to see what options are available.
Input is accepted from file containing a single tokenized sentence per line, or from stdin.

This is an awesome test that shows how a pre-tested translation model can be used.
IceBERT is an Icelandic BERT-based (RoBERTa) language model that is suitable for fine tuning on downstream tasks.
The following fine tuning tasks are available both through the greynirseq
CLI and for loading programmatically.
There are also a some translation models available. They are Transformer models trained from scratch or finetuned based on mBART25.
To install GreynirSeq in development mode install it with pip in editable mode
pip install -e .[dev]
All code is checked with Super-Linter in a GitHub Action, we recommend running it locally before pushing
./run_linter.sh
Type annotation will soon be checked with mypy and should be included.
