First time deploy instructions

[eyalrosen]

Hi,
It'll be great if you could tell me which steps should I take in order to run this software on the first time.
I've cloned the code and I have a bunch of sentences I wish to simplify. Now what? which commands should I run?
Thanks!

I have added some instructions now. You should have a look.

[eyalrosen]

Thank you so much! :)

Can we run the program without training it before hand?

[shashiongithub]

Unfortunately, I don't have pretrained models from the paper anymore.

@eyalrosen Have you got the Boxer 1.00? I want to setup the experement too, but I have no Boxer.

anyone got the boxer output (xml format) of the complex sentences?? or atleast know,how the xml file should be for any complex sentence?

[shashiongithub]

I ran boxer-1.0 with the following command.

candc-boxer/candc-1.00/bin/candc --input $1 --models /disk/gpfs/tools/candc-boxer/candc-1.00/models/boxer > $INPUT_FILE.ccg
candc-boxer/candc-1.00/bin/boxer --input $INPUT_FILE.ccg --semantics drs --output $2 --resolve true --instantiate true --format xml --elimeq true

The xml output for a complex sentence:

The Baku Turkish Martyrs Memorial , located in Azerbaijan , is dedicated to the Ottoman Army soldiers killed in the Battle of Baku . DT NNP NNP NNP NNP , VBN IN NNP , VBZ VBN TO DT NNP NNP NNS VBN IN DT NN IN NNP .

Thank you very much for the reply, really appreciate it.
After a lot of fails, I just now resolved the boxer problem and have the XML output.
FILES::
input file:snse003.txt
prolog_file: prolog.cgg
boxer_xml file: box_output

COMMANDS::
./t --input snse003.txt --output token.tok
./candc --input token.tok --models /home/shankha/Desktop/ext/candc/models/boxer --candc-printer boxer --output prolog.cgg
./boxer --input prolog.cgg --semantics drs --output box_output.xml --resolve true --instantiate true --format xml

However, it is somewhat different from the format you sent me.
I have all the requirements for the hybrid-simplification model except the boxer output.
Could you please tell, if XML(box_output) file which I generated work for the hybrid model?

As mentioned, I am using Boxer-1.00. The xml parser is written for that. If your xml is diifferent, then you may have to upgrade your parser to new xml files.

[Crista23]

I am using the same commands posted above to retrieve the xml output from Boxer 1.00, however I am getting errors:

bin/candc --input test.txt --models models/boxer > test.ccg
this file was generated by the following command(s):
bin/candc --input /srv/disk01/ggarbace/TS/dataset/zhu_acl2010/test.txt --models models/boxer

bin/boxer --input test.ccg --semantics drs --output test.out --resolve true --instantiate true --format xml --elimeq true

ERROR: test.ccg:24: Syntax error: Undefined character escape in quoted atom or string: \N' ERROR: test.ccg:27: Syntax error: Undefined character escape in quoted atom or string: ('

If I replace \N with \N and ( with ( and run the command again, what I get is:

ERROR: unable to preprocess derivation 1

Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong here? How can I get Boxer to work? Thank you!
