Surface Realization

The code that implements the surface realization algorithm by composition from Chapter 3 is in src/unboxer/drx2txt.py

It can be used as a Python module:

parser = DRGParser()
parser.parse_tup_lines(LDRG_FILE)
print (unbox(parser.drg))

LDRG_FILE is a file containing a Lexicalized Discourse Representation Graph as output by Boxer. An example is in the file examples/example.ldrg. There is a helper script in src/gold2surface.py that reads an LDRG from the standard input and prints out the generated surface form:

cat examples/example.ldrg | src/gold2surface.py
