Overview

About

Maintained by Bruno NicenboimFirst published 2025-04-071 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides access to word predictability estimates using large language models (LLMs) based on 'transformer' architectures via integration with the 'Hugging Face' ecosystem https://huggingface.co/. The package interfaces with pre-trained neural networks and supports both causal/auto-regressive LLMs (e.g., 'GPT-2') and masked/bidirectional LLMs (e.g., 'BERT') to compute the probability of words, phrases, or tokens given their linguistic context. For details on GPT-2 and causal models, see Radford et al. (2019) https://storage.prod.researchhub.com/uploads/papers/2020/06/01/language-models.pdf, for details on BERT and masked models, see Devlin et al. (2019) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1810.04805. By enabling a straightforward estimation of word predictability, the package facilitates research in psycholinguistics, computational linguistics, and natural language processing (NLP).

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("pangoling", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ropensci/pangoling")

Development version from ropensci/pangoling. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-pangoling

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-pangoling

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-pangoling

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
