    Syntax

    updatedDocuments = addDependencyDetails(documents)

    Description

    Use addDependencyDetails to add grammatical dependency details to documents.

    The function requires Deep Learning Toolbox™ and the Text Analytics Toolbox™ Model for UDify Data support package. The function supports English, Japanese, German, and Korean text.

    updatedDocuments = addDependencyDetails(documents) adds grammatical dependency details to documents and updates the token details. To get the dependency details from updatedDocuments, use tokenDetails.

    Create a tokenized document object containing a single sentence.

    str = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.";
document = tokenizedDocument(str)
    document = 
  tokenizedDocument:

   10 tokens: The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog .

    Add grammatical dependency details to the document. The addDependencyDetails function requires the Text Analytics Toolbox™ Model for UDify Data support package. If you do not have this support package installed, then the function provides a download link.

    document = addDependencyDetails(document);

    View the token details using the tokenDetails function. The Head and Dependency variables of the table form a tree structure of the dependency details. For example, because the word "lazy" modifies the word "dog" in this sentence, the token details table lists the token number of "dog" as the head of the token "lazy".
