[Illinois-ml-nlp-users] Which FDG Parsers are compatible with Fex ?

[Mark Sammons]

Hi, Sourajit.

Fex uses a non-standard representation for input of dependency paths etc. 
I don't know of any parsers that provide output that can be used without 
modification.

Fex uses sensors in its Sensors.cpp file to define feature generation functions:
to extend it to accept your output, you'd need to write sensors that process
the relevant column info.  Fex reads input as whitespace-separated columns, 
so when you generate the column format you need to keep that in mind.

Regards,

Mark
