Interactive book on Statistical NLP

stat-nlp-book

Live Online Version

We are running a live online version of the book. Due to security reasons the content is not editable. If you want to play with the code and execute it you need to install the book locally, as described below.

Setup and run the book

Before running any of the following comands, make sure you have all the prerequisites installed.

After installing prerequisites, install the following libraries to a local repository by running the following:

git clone https://github.com/sameersingh/scalaplot.git; cd scalaplot
mvn clean install -Dgpg.skip=true; cd ..
git clone https://github.com/sameersingh/htmlgen.git; cd htmlgen
mvn clean install -Dgpg.skip=true; cd ..

Clone the repository (1), Initialize sub-modules (wolfe & moro) (2), compile the project (3) and compile wolfe, and publish it to your local ivy repository (4), setup the project specific configuration file (5) and run moro (6).

1. git clone https://github.com/uclmr/stat-nlp-book.git; cd stat-nlp-book
2. git submodule update --init --recursive
3. sbt compile
4. cd wolfe; sbt compile; sbt publish-local; cd ..
5. cp moro/conf/application-statnlpbook.conf moro/conf/application.conf
6. cd moro; git checkout master; sbt run
7. ln -s $PWD/src/main/moro/figures $PWD/moro/public/figures

Remarks:

• ignore [error] (wolfe-examples/compile:doc) Scaladoc generation failed when executing step 4
• step 4 - You may have to delete the wolfe directory in the ivy cache to make sure you get the newest version.
• step 6 - You might me bugged by your firewall here. Set it to allow the application. This step might take some time depending on your computer performance. Do not panic over warning messages :)
