This model identifies compound verb phrases (including conjoins and coordinators) in an input sentence.

Try the test sentence:

John kicked the ball [and] chased after it.

Please note that it is necessary for you to highlight the verb phrase coordinator "and" using square brackets. When deployed in a text simplification method, this sign tagging step can be performed using the model at https://huggingface.co/RJ3vans/SignTagger.

The model should tag the tokens in the sentence with information about whether or not they are contained within a compound verb phrase. If you find the model useful, please cite my thesis which presents the dataset used for finetuning:

Evans, R. (2020) Sentence Simplification for Text Processing. Doctoral thesis. University of Wolverhampton. Wolverhampton, UK. (https://rj3vans.github.io/Evans2020_SentenceSimplificationForTextProcessing.pdf)

There you will find more information about the tagging scheme.

The model was derived using code adapted from an original program written by Dr. Le An Ha at the University of Wolverhampton.
