Rosetta Stone
Usage:
java programs.Parse [Options]
This parser breaks sentences into phrases. This parser is a minimal
committment barrier category parser.
The minimal commitment analysis assigns underspecified syntactic analysis
to lexically analyzed input. The current emphasis is on noun phrases;
however, the entire input string is bracketed. The analysis can be
thought of as the result of skimming the input to extract only NP's
and PrepP's.
The options include the following:
The prerequisites to run this program include:
CLASSPATH
The classpath needs to include the installation path to
$MMTx/mmtx/classes where
$MMTX is the top level directory that contains the MMTx software.
The classpath needs to include the installation path to
$MMTx/mmtx/config
directory.
The classpath needs to include the path to MySQL's jdbc driver
jar file, (or the path to your version of the jdbc driver, if
different than MySQL).
$MMTx/mmtx/mm.mysql.jdbc-1.2c directory.
(There exists an example cshrc with the correct class paths set
in the $MMTX/mmtx/config directory).
Input and Ouput File Options
The default behavior is to read input from standard input and write to
standard output. This program has a bias toward document based processing,
it requires having the entire document seen prior to processing any of it.
This is a polite way of saying that if input is coming from standard
input, processing will not begin until an end of file has been send. Put
another way, no processing happens from text put in from standard input,
when a line-feed is seen. Processing only begins when the end of file
marker has been seen: (A control-D) in the borne shell, a control-Z and
carrage return in DOS.
