Automation With logon_do

delphintools/bin/logon_do provides a simple interface for parsing, tranlating, and generating using the LOGON binary. It automatically creates a collection of profiles from a bitext-formatted input file.

Creating a Profile Top

Prior to any processing, logon_do should be invoked with the --bitext (or -b option) to create a directory to store future profiles in:

$ logon_do --bitext /path/to/bitext.txt /path/to/profile_top

The above command will create the directory /path/to/profile_top and a subdirectory bitext/ that contains the original bitext file (called original) and a bitext file with the source and target language swapped (object) that is used for parsing and paraphrasing the target language.

Using logon_do

usage: logon_do -g|--grammar <jaen|enen> -t|--task <smrs|tmrs|pmrs|gmrs|vmrs|omrs|imrs> [/path/to/profile_top]

Calling logon_do in the following manner will create the profile /path/to/profile_top/smrs and parse the source sentences in bitext/original with the Japanese grammar Jacy.

$ logon_do --grammar jaen --task smrs /path/to/profile_top

If /path/to/profile is omitted, logon_do will default to the current directory. So the following command is equivalent:

$ cd /path/to/profile_top && logon_do --grammar jaen --task smrs

Once parsing is complete, the profile smrs will contain the parse results:

{{{$ ls /path/to/profile/smrs analysis decision fold item-phenomenon output parse preference result run set update daughter edge item item-set parameter phenomenon relations rule score tree }}}
