Bikel’s statistical parser is designed to be run from the command line. I need to run it from my own code.
The following wrapper seems to do the trick on windows (with your own values for|parserdir|:
String settingsFile = "|parserdir|\\settings\\collins.properties";
Settings.load(settingsFile);
Parser parser = new Parser("|parserdir|\\bikel\\wsj-02-21.obj.gz");
Sexp result = parser.parse(Sexp.read("(This is a funny world)").list());
There is a complaint when running the above code:
Settings different during training than now
------------------------------
parser.settingsFile
was |parsedir|\settings\collins.properties
is null
This however does not impact anything and correct values seem to be picked up.
Also,all the scripts are designed for *nix with a lot of flexibility and variables built in. To get it running on Windows,I hardcoded everything but the input file and this is the result:
set PDIR=|parserdir|
java -Xmx500m -cp "%PDIR%\dbparser.jar;%CLASSPATH%" -Dparser.settingsFile=%PDIR%\settings\collins.properties danbikel.parser.Parser -is %PDIR%\wsj-02-21.obj.gz -sa %1
