=====

Code for grounded SMT on geoquery data.
(This has nothing to do with the programming language REBOL! http://www.rebol.com/ )


Dependencies
------------

*WASP*-1.0 includes the geoquery knowledge base and scripts for querying it.
The evaluation scripts were slightly modified to include the full output.
These scripts are in data/geoquery/wasp/, they go into wasp-1.0/data/geo-funql/eval/.
WASP-1.0 can be downloaded from here [1].

You'll also need some *Prolog* environment, e.g. SWI-Prolog [2].

We use the a slightly modified implementation of *smt-semparse*,
as described in 'Semantic parsing as machine translation' (Andreas et al, ACL 2013).
Our fork can be found here [3]. This depends on more stuff, e.g. the Moses decoder
and SRILM.

For translation we use the *cdec* toolkit, [4].

As semantic parsing is quite slow and rebol does it quite often,
results are cached with *memcached* [5].

You'll also need the following *ruby gems*:
 * https://rubygems.org/gems/memcached
 * http://rubygems.org/gems/nlp_ruby
 * http://trollop.rubyforge.org/
