INCREMENTAL LTAG-SPINAL PARSER

Libin Shen
lshen@bbn.com

java -classpath <path to spinc_01.jar> edu.upenn.cis.parser.PParser <text_pos> <train_file> <train_feature> <directory of installation>

For example, the parser is installed at ~/spinc/, then you can use the following 
command to parse a sample file, ~/spinc/data/text_pos.smp.

java -classpath ~/spinc/spinc_01.jar -Xmx1000m edu.upenn.cis.parser.PParser ~/spinc/data/text_pos.smp ~/spinc/data/derivation.train ~/spinc/data/feat.trn ~/spinc/ 1>x.out 2>x.err

It is recommended to run it on a Linux machine with 1 GB MEM or more. 
It is required to run it with JDK 1.5 or JRE 5.0.

The input of the parser is in Ratnaparkhi's POS tag format, which is
WORD1_POS1 WORD2_POS2 WORD3_POS3 ...
Empty categories with POS tag NONE are filtered out in pre-processing.

data/output.smp shows the output of text_pos.smp
Sentence 2 shows an example of adjunction, and sentence 12 shows an example 
of predicate coordination.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the parser.

Have fun.
