Sentence Senser

Purpose

Applies the WordNet SenseRelate AllWords disambiguator to a corpus or part there- of. The WordNet Similarity dbreader measure is used. This measure reads in pre-stored relatedness-values in a very efficient manner from a djbdb file. This file must contain the relatedness values for all word-combinations that will be encountered within the sense-relate window (can be found using the wordcombination-). finder.pl, and they can be tagged using the listsenser.pl)

Senserelating using this set-up is much faster than doing it using a relatedness measure on the fly. Note however that this script has been made especiallyfor a research in which the position of the words in the original sentence was important so this information was kept in the form of '^'-signs on places where no sensing was possible...

The configfile is configsentencesenser.pl

Synopsis

./sentencesenser.pl

[-c <corpus>] [-f <fromsubdir>] | [-fd <fromdir>] [-a <tagrowsubdir>] | [-ad <tagrowdir>] [-sf <senseddbfile> [-s <sdbsubdir>]] | [-sd <sdbdirfile>] [-tc <tocorpus>] [-t <tosubdir>] | [-td <targetdir>] [-o <tosubdir>] | [-od <targetwordrowdir>] [-w <windowsize>] [-ps <partsubdir>] [-p <part>] | [-pd <partdir>] [-pf <divprtfile> [...]] [-dr] [-? = -h = -help = --help] [-v [<verboselvl>]]

-c: the corpus whose wordrow files are to be used

-f: subdir below corpus where the wordrow files can be found (defaults to reduced if none is specified and if it's not changed in the configfile)

-fd: full path to the wordrows dir

-a: the tagrowsubdir. Defaults to rewrtagrow

-ad: full path to the tagrow dir

-sf: the cdb file containing the precalculated relatedness values to be read by the dbreader measure

-s: subdir containing the cdb file

-sd: full path to the cdb file (including the filename)

-tc: target-corpus. If none is set the source corpus is used

-t: the subdir relative to the corpusdir in which the sensed tagrows should be stored. Note that this option is only possible if the corpus is given with the -c or -tc option (not the full path with the -td option)

-td: full path to the place where the list of sensed tagrows should be stored

-o: the subdir relative to the corpusdir in which the sensed wordrows should be stored (storing the sensed words also is neccesary because wordnet doesn'taccept sensed words in a non-canonical form). Note that this option is only possible if the corpus is given with the -c or -tc option (not the full path with the -td option)

-od: full path to the place where the list of sensed wordrows should be stored

-w: the window-size for disambiguating (note: max the same as used in the wordcombinationfinder.pl that made the list for the db if you want all possible disambiguation to be done)

-ps: subdir in which the divisions are

-p: the name of a division to use as a part. The file-names in all the divprt -files in the division-dir are added and used as the list of files to use unless you specify one or more explicitly using the -pf option

-pd: full path to the division-dir to use as a part. This option causes the -p option to be ignored

-pf: one or more divprt files to use as the part instead of all files in the division

-dr: dry-run. Nothing is written or deleted, only reading and reporting is done

-v: the level of verbosity, default verboselevel = 2, available levels: 0,1,2,3

-?: (and equivalents) prints help: the purpose and the synopsys

NOTE:

If no from and to-dirs are given the defaults in the config file are used
