  },
  "mongo":{
    "hostname":"...",

How to use

The project consists of three main entry points:

1. RelationExtraction.java
2. ExtractionTester.java
3. FileExtractor.java

Relation Extraction

This project can be start up by giving a path to a configuration file. If the path is invalid or not given, then it will start up with a default configuration. The script will train a model on a set of training data. The created model will then be evaluated. Output:

• F1 score for each relation
• Precision for each relation
• Recall for each relation
• The overall precision

Extraction Tester

This project can be start up by giving a path to a configuration file. If the path is invalid or not given, then it will start up with a default configuration. The script will train a model. Then the user can give input sentences. The script will print found relations in Turtle format.

File Extractor

To start the script you have to provide the following arguments:

1. a config file
2. input path for file containing sentences
3. output path for the found relations in Turtle format

This script do the same as the extraction tester but can automatically process a bunch of input sentences.
