UDPipe 2 is a POS tagger, lemmatizer and dependency parser.
Compared to UDPipe 1:
- UDPipe 2 is Python-only and tested only in Linux,
- UDPipe 2 is meant as a research tool, not as a user-friendly UDPipe 1 replacement,
- UDPipe 2 achieves much better performance, but requires a GPU for reasonable performance,
- UDPipe 2 does not perform tokenization by itself – it uses UDPipe 1 for that.
UDPipe 2 is available in the udpipe-2 branch of the UDPipe repository at https://github.com/ufal/udpipe/tree/udpipe-2.
