Program's first start guide

 

When you want to analyze a new file, select the element Select new input file... in the menu Program. This element is automatically activated during the first start of the program.

The program will ask you a text file to analyze, an options file and optionally a rules file. At least one file of each type must be available in the main directory of Exit program during the first start. If you don't use the format word/tag you will need to modify the expressions in the panel Expressions. Furthermore, modifications of expressions will be necessary for other tags than Penman TreeBank format.

Then, in the panel Extraction activate the command button Extract terms. You obtain a list of possible terms that you may classify in using right click mouse button on a term then giving it a type.

A middle click mouse button on a term displays its contexts in the bottom text area. Several display options exist and are available in the menu Display.

Activate again the command button Extract terms then go to the panel Accepted/Rejected Terms and Undefined Terms to see the precedent classified terms. You can change their type with a right click on one of them. The drop-down boxes below the terms lists allow to filter displayed terms.

Now select any element of the graphical user interface and press the key [F1] to obtain contextual help. Read help in order to know how to modify the expressions in panel Expressions, the options of extraction in the panel Extraction, the rules in the panel Rules.

Once you master the basic options of the program you could choose Expert Mode option in the Display menu.

Thanks for using this terms extraction program.
